Zachariah Lovespoon 0 Posted December 23, 2008 I just had a look at thetrainline.com for you and if you get single advance tickets, outward at 09:57 and back at 19:38 the cost is £44.20. Hope this helps Merry Christmas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zachariah Lovespoon 0 Posted December 23, 2008 sorry just saw you were from Braintree not Norwich [:$], but if you check thetrainline.com and vary the way you search you can normally get a better deal [:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZippyGrin 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Try http://www.raileasy.co.ukI travelled to Barnsley away this year for £28.00 (booked in advance) with my 15yr old son from Gloucester. You are tied to set trains but worth it for the savings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Juler 148 Posted December 23, 2008 All fares are set and available from all website/tickets offices etc. Using The Trainline, Raileasy, NXEA, etc. will all show the same fares, it''s just that some are better at showing the discounted fares than others.
