Post by: John R on April 30, 2009, 20:40:53 Try splitting your ticket at Derby or somewhere else. That sometimes works at bringing the cost down.

So you could buy a peak B'ham to Derby ticket, but then an off-peak Derby to Leeds ticket. Title: Re: birmingham to leeds tomorrow morning is there peak time? Post by: plejaren on April 30, 2009, 21:39:58 its only half an hour to derby
and by time i get there it wouldnt be worth it can i get the 8.03 am with off peak return? Title: Re: birmingham to leeds tomorrow morning is there peak time? Post by: Btline on April 30, 2009, 21:46:06 Nope, cheapest return on the 8.03 is Anytime Return ^84.
Split at Derby: Anytime Return Derby to Leeds is ^35.50. Anytime Return Birmingham to Derby ^13.70 Total: ^49.20 Saving:^34.80!!!! Gosh! :o Title: Re: birmingham to leeds tomorrow morning is there peak time?

If the journey planner says it's peak, it is peak. It doesn't often lie.
