It is nuts but that was the price i had to pay on the day i wanted to travel and when i had to book it that's how it works. I could travel around europe all year by train for nothing but it's still not relevant to the OP
It is very funny what some threads can turn into. Let's just agree 100 quid to London on the train is a bit excessive!
And 350 quid to fly between Rhodes and newcastle is nuts. I could nearly get a month interrail pass through Europe for that.
A couple of days ago I looked at what it would cost to get from Durham to Barcelona by train. There are three sectors that have to be booked separately. Costs for a return ticket for each sector was:
Durham-Kings Cross - £92.00 2nd class - 2h 59m
St Pancras-Paris - £58.00 2nd class - 2h 28m
Paris-Barcelona - €120.00 (approx £105.00) 1st class - 6h 33m
Is there an optimum time when to book for GC or LNER for that matter?
I am looking to book tickets for a weekend London trip in October. The outward (friday afternoon) is about £28 but the return leg (sunday afternoon) about £68. Do the ticket prices ever come down?
It's cheaper for me mates flying in from Dublin than it is for me getting the train from Sunlun.
Whee aye it is man. I often change at York and get a better advanced price on a different train. Works at Peterborough too.
M - F comes out earlier than S and SIs there an optimum time when to book for GC or LNER for that matter?

Is there one? Would be great as some of the lads flying to there but nowt came up on sky scanner.Fly to London City airport.
Shush please. Londons best kept secret.Fly to London City airport.
Yeah think I just have to wait a few weeks. I'll actually be needing to book for August too just don't have a concrete date.GC is usually £35 in advance. They show tickets for all operators on their website but the GC ones are indicated with an arrow at the top. I've just paid £35 for first weekend in July.
Its a shite immature airport for bairns. Not worth going really.Shush please. Londons best kept secret.
Just checked and it doesn’t have a route to ponteland. Sorry. Nearest would be EdinburghIs there one? Would be great as some of the lads flying to there but nowt came up on sky scanner.
Never try LCY in your search.Is there one? Would be great as some of the lads flying to there but nowt came up on sky scanner.
I'm just looking up trains from Plymouth now. Normal price single is just under £80. Split ticketing on the same trains under £40I use trains a fair bit and get great prices when booking in advance but sometimes they don't help themselves
Plymouth to Sheffield £100, Plymouth to Durham same train £68, Plymouth to Sheffield split tickets £48
Chester le street to York 3 tickets £104. Durham to York on same train 3 tickets for £19. I just don't like the way they try to rob those who don't read advice on the SMB !I'm just looking up trains from Plymouth now. Normal price single is just under £80. Split ticketing on the same trains under £40
Train fares are an absolute minefield. I commute to york and have lost count of the amount of different fares I've encountered. Could do worse than nationalising the whole lot.I use trains a fair bit and get great prices when booking in advance but sometimes they don't help themselves
Plymouth to Sheffield £100, Plymouth to Durham same train £68, Plymouth to Sheffield split tickets £48

You’d be too late then - British Railways came into being at 00.01 on 1 January 1948. I’m hoping we get some sort of “heritage” liveries on the stock when the ‘new’ LNER take over!
