Can I go to my local train station and book train tickets that don't start or finish from that station?

Thanks in advance.

What?

Are you mad?

Yes probably.

you may be better booking and paying for tickets on line and collect them from the station to get the best price

Trying to buy off trainline for a train on Thursday.
They want me to pick up from major station (1.5 hour round trip). Hence my question….
Normally I am mad.

Yes you can, little bird has just told me to look at the megatrain website though! ;o)

just tried magatrain… same price. I believe you can go to teh individual train companies and get a few quid off, if you have the time.

Its just a £30 single I need, so probably not worth it.

Thanks all for your reassurance as ever.

30 quid for a single, are you sure its a train ticket youre after.

Sometimes you can get cheaper tickets by splitting your journey up, but still travelling on the same train, but you really need to be quite cute when doing this, and they tend not to tell you how when booking the tickets!

It telling you to pick up from a major station as they are the ones with the automated machines you pick up online tickets from… Any station ticket office will sell you any train ticket, so long as it's actually open. You can also get them posted toyou if you don't need it for a day or two. Actually, on second thoughts at the moment!!
