Public Transport Travel Tips

[Gojive]

Hi all,

For travel between London and Birmingham (or vice versa) via Chiltern Railways, you can can get single tickets sent to your mobile for just £5 each way!!.

I understand it's not available on Sundays however, and there are restrictions on weekday train times - but there does seem to be a lot of choice and availabilty.

Plus, you can book up to 18:00 on the day before!

The journey time is longer than the Euston route, taking around 2 hours, but if time is not important....

Any other good travel tips?

Look at a London streetmap before taking the tube. Walking is often faster.

During the day, it is cheaper for four people to share a taxi from Durham to Newcastle than for them to take the train. And sometimes, it can save you several hours....

If travelling between Dundee and Glasgow one-way (and the train hasn't been diverted over the Forth Bridge), buy a single Dundee-Perth, and a single Perth-Glasgow. It works out much, much cheaper!

a vast majority of train journeys are cheaper if you split the journey up....they of course fail to tell you this, but everytime i`ve booked my tickets on line they always work out cheaper by splitting up the journey....

Don't tell anyone, but it was the nice lady who sold me the tickets who told me.
