ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 When I went to Manchester the other month, I found that the prices went down the night before travelling at around 10pm, but go back up around midnight. Not sure if this is usually the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 4 hours ago, Ambitious said: Out of interest, how much can you possibly save on trains booking well in advanced? I've just checked and the price for me is the same tomorrow as it is for the middle of December, perhaps there is something I'm missing. Depends where you’re going. A return ticket from Newcastle to London varies between £50 to £300+ Even a return to Derby can cost c£150 I.e. almost the price of some season tickets. Hence the raised eyebrows when some twits question loyalty ? The earlier I can book a ticket, the better. For good measure, Sunderland took 2.5k to Gillingham last night.

EssendonRam Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 There’s also the newly-introduced issue of needing to decide whether Rams TV full subscription is worthwhile for the upcoming month, now that annual subscriptions have been canned. I much preferred the annual option, precisely because I didn’t have to worry about what had already been spent. But, now that my finances are that little bit tighter, I will be contemplating each month whether I’ll subscribe for the following month or just switch to the audio only subscription for a week or two. @David,other than relying upon your good self, which is the best way of getting the upcoming broadcast schedule ?

jimbobram Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Another trick for you guys is to go on the trainline fair finder. This finds the cheapest ticket. It may not be the perfect timing for you but if you get there early and save too, it gives you extra beer and burger money :) https://www.thetrainline.com/farefinder/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenbyRam Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Don't use The Trainline to book tickets. They add on booking fees. Use them to look up times and prices by all means, but if you book via the actual train operator using www.nationalrail.co.uk there are no fees.
