I travel to Scotland as a single traveller via train regularly to see my Mum. It really irritates me as I can't get discount of a third off as I don't fit any of the categories for a railcard!
I'm not travelling with family and friends
I'm not under 25
I'm not over 60
I'm not travelling 2 together
I'm not disabled
I want a single traveller railcard introduced please.
I try booking in advance to get it cheaper but my journey involves 3 changes each way and booking a return always seems to be around the same price.
Any ideas on how to get discounted travel on trains???
I've been looking at an alternative route. It comes out at much the same fare on the dates which I've used but it might be cheaper on your own chosen dates, so I'll offer it to you anyway: Assuming, again, outward travel on 24 October, returning 3 days later . . . Depart Chepstow 0918 Arrive Birmingham New Street 1045 (Direct) £22.70 Depart Birmingham NS 1115...

Depends where you want to go, I suppose, Bednobs. There are more railway stations than airports and more roads than train lines. Cost tends to go up according to how far you are from the starting and finishing points. I'm near St Pancras, so Paris is cheap; it wouldn't be if I was in the Midlands.
