train ticket prices

[doug boardley]

Thinking of taking the boys to Legoland at Windsor for their birthdays, so rather than drive all that way Mrs Doug suggested we get the train,,,,,,,,looked up tariffs for a return trip (2 adults and 1 kid, Gabriel would go free as he'd still be still under 5) and it came to £753!!!!:yikes::yikes:. Did a google map planner and estimated fuel cost would be just under £100. looks like I'll be having a long drive!

You could buy a good cutter for that money..

And the goverment wonder why they can't get us onto public transport

seems extremely high was that price through national rail inquires website?

Dont book direct tickets.ie Kendal to Watford.Watford to Windsor.If you go though London at peak time that will also cost you more.From Canterbury to a London station is about one third of the price if the train arrives after 10 am or there abouts.

wow thats high

you should get a family railcard. they cost around 20 odd quid, but you get massive savings on fares with them. it'd probably pay for itself on your first trip. we use them all the time.

I think so Gary, problem being that we'd have to travel at peak time to get there early enough for the two day package deal. there's virtually no difference in the travel time though, both about 4-1/2 hours, so will probs drive it.

The Mrs says that the Windsor one is a theme park Mike, whereas the Manchester one is a discovery centre
