Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere, but looking for train tickets down to London for Fulham away on the 8th of November and cheapest I can find is about £45-50 return - looking at brighouse/ mirfield/ hudds returns so pretty flexible.
DATM travel agent, can you assist? or have you taken all the cheap tickets to sell on at a profit? usually we can get these for about £20-30 return but there appears to be none, even breaking the journey's seems not to work.
Cheers

All the cheap ones have gone, I had a look tonight and booked myself on the 18.03 back home for £23.50. When the Megabus tickets go on sale going to book that going down to London, its not bus all the way, only to East Midlands Parkway then train into St Pancras.
There is nothing on Virgin either via Manchester, cheapest they were quoting for an advance was 70 quid, they must be mental.

Think Man City are playing in London on the same day and tickets went in a flash. I booked mine on the evening on the day they came out and the £13 ones had gone.
If you make a weekend of it book to go down friday evening and back on sunday and find a cheap hotel. Tip - use travelstay if you stay in Londinius.

cheers for the responses- best get 'em booked in that case- surprised how much they are already, nearly 3 months in advance......should have booked em a couple a weeks ago really.
Should be a good day in any case.

I apologise.
Rats! I've just checked my emails and have received the same offer. I've checked and could get the same tickets now for £20 return as you said. That doesn't seem fair when I paid £45 for the same return journey a week ago. I wonder if you can cancel the originals and re-book but doubt is as they said non-refundable when I booked.
Bargain for any Town fans yet to book.

eye, there are some £20 returns still on sale following that link- less available journey times than there was only a matter of hours ago, so assume they are getting snapped up pretty quickly.
On the 8.40am from L66ds and 7.30pm back from Kings Cross.

Don't worry pete we'll line up some early morning shortbread & a couple of tins of special brew for you to soften the blow! |

I just checked and www.eastcoast.co.uk/lovetrains still showing 10 pound seats on most trains from wakefield in morning and evening return from London. Only train not available is 19.30 from kings cross. Don't go to the normal eastcoast.co.uk URL , has to be one above. |

I got the £10 ones. They are selling out pretty fast but you can still get them. You have to use the link posted above, or just go to their website and navigate to special offers > £10 deal.
Then you have to search L66ds to kings cross and it should come up.
If you change your search a few times it stops showing the discount and you have to go to special offers page again.
Ticket options for return are limited to 18:00 or 22:00 so we are going Friday and coming back Sunday.
