Away travel by train...

    I choose to travel to away games by trains as I can't stand the Hitler wannabes who tell me I can't drink my cans or smoke in the toilet on the bus.

    I've noticed recently that train travel (no matter how early I book) has gone up by stupid proportions - used to get London return for between £20-£30, now it's about £65-£70.

    Does anyone have any tips on getting this cheaper? I see on the National Express Trains website that you can go from Leeds to London for £20 return - but when??? Similar deals offered by GNER did actually seem to be available.

    Book train tickets 12 weeks in advance and hope SKY don't change the date

    The £20 fares are probably available at times that no-one would want to travel!

    These "Hitler wannabees" - would those be the people asking you not to consume alcohol on the bus because of the law that states the bus could be turned back if people are consuming alcohol? So in having your cans you could be risking every one else on that bus not getting to the game!
