[/quote]anuary is more than 12 weeks away. Try again with 12 weeks to go.
Edit: a fare that has been released 12 weeks out should mean that you could do it for about £22 per person.
Edit 2: have another look at National Rail/train line etc during the week commencing 12 Oct (if I’ve got my calcs correct) and you should see a much cheaper fare available. The problem with those sites is that if you pop a date in that’s more than 12 weeks out, the only fare available is the walk-up fare (I.e. The most expensive one) so that’s what gets displayed
Fair point and I will go back and try again in Oct but to charge £130 return travel off peak on the day is a tad much for what is effectively just two stops.
