Away travel on the train

Anyone planning on using train travel this season then I recommend the Trip.com app. Tickets to Blackpool for me were 27 through Northern Rail app but got them for 13 through the above app - might help a few of you

 

I drive to the aways, but having just turned 60 I can have a senior railcard and save 33%. It’s never going to be as cheap as sharing the fuel cost, but I am considering doing the odd one on the train in the future.

 

Keep looking out for deals on the railcard, I got one last year for a tenner

 

I'd love to do most games by train but it's so expensive. Looked at the plymouth game and for me and my son 16-17 railcard it was £180. Pain driving down there but about £70 petrol

 

It's this sort of nonsense which is making the move to more sustainable transport almost impossible. By any sensible calculation, rail should be by far the cheaper option. If I come to Barnsley on my own, I can (just) do it cheaper than by car (£8 for Senior Derbyshire wayfarer to Sheffield and £7 from Sheffield to Barnsley), but if my wife decides to come, it's way cheaper to drive - crazy.

 

I generally don't use the train - would cost me 45 pound return to get to home games. I can get a national express to Leeds for 18 pound return. Have to get a train then but get a discount through Discount for Teachers. Whole trip is about 27 - some savings over the season

I turned 60 last year and am now on my second senior railcard. If you do any shopping at Tesco you can get one using just £15 worth of club card points.
