Anyone know of any deals/promotions that are on?

And before you reply with 'Google is your friend', i've been googling for hours.

Cheapest i have so far is £30 return to Derby, which is a 'Shopping Saver' fare.

I'm travelling on the 25th November if that helps and am relatively flexible on times as the trip is only for leisure rather than business.

Cheers in advance.

That sounds like a good deal though doesn't it ?!

The cheapest fare will be getting into London after 11 o'clock I think.

You might have missed the really cheap tickets. These tend to snapped up on the day the are released by people like me i.e. tight-fisted Scots.

£30 sounds not too bad to me at this late stage.

If you ask when the cheapest tickest are released and what price they will be, you'll get a comparison toy our £30.

Just in case anyone cares, the cheapest tickets to London that i get are £12 one-way, so £24 return from Lancaster to London which I think is a fair price.

Like mentioned above you may have missed the really cheap tickets.
We travelled from Derby to London the other weekend, booke dthe tickets about a month in advance and they worked out at £24 return each.

The really really cheap fares have been phased out in order to make ticket types easier to understand rolleyes

£30 these days is cheap...
