Cheapest FC I can get is a 133.50 anytime

:-(

Is there any splitting/advance options available still?

Leave after 0900 - depart after 1700

You've left it a bit late....

Try BRI to New Street & London Midland to LIV....

Yeah - issue came up about five minutes ago

Mom managed to kill her computer - my old iMAc - (HOW!!!!!) and since she can't even grasp a desk top - "oh you want me to click on the screen>" well yeah doh! but on a bit that doesnt have an open app on it (whats an app?) etc etc

She's lost her emails, deleted safari, got some weird shit happening

But at that price, she can wait until saturday to buy anything from jml.com

You've quoted the single fare but mention 'Leave after 0900 - depart after 1700'.

Returning same day I take it?

yes

That is what the XC engine game me as the cheapest return

Best I can find.

thanks!

All booked - thanks

Glad to be of assistance.

^7.12 agency fee (9%) please!!

 ;D

Better going to trainline with that fee! Allthough I suspect it will be ^1 for the booking, 50p each ticket to pick them up ToD.

But The Trainline won't suggest the splits ;)

So the OP has to pay twice? ouch!!!

Eh? The OP more than likely purchased the tickets from a TOC website, so no fees.

Yeah - I tend to use XC since half the time I have to use XC practiably and I like the matrix thing

Wise, nasty nasty Trainline/redspottyhanky/quno/qjump/raileasy charging to buy tickets when they already get a 9% selling fee.

And my preference is eastcoast.co.uk. I've used the booking engine since GNER days as they were (then) the only TOC that accepted Solo debit cards. I've stuck with them through NXEC even though I now have a Visa Debit as I pefer the one page layout with no reloading of pages for 'earlier' or 'later' trains.

I use Southern Railway's booking system...! Still uses the Mixing Desk style layout, and you can get 25% off 1st ADV fares with SN ;D

I only use the SN website for SN tickets nowadays.  I was put off by this in their FAQs:This could probably be challenged as I believe they are responsible for the tickets until delivery, but I'm no legal expert.  East Coast have issued replacement tickets (via ToD) when some were lost in the post, so I tend to choose them now.
