I have heard a rumour that you can buy a return train ticket from anywhere to anywhere for £18.50. Does anyone no if this is true or not, if so please let me now how i get them, as i want to go and see my brother in Scottland.

I saw an advert which says London to Edinburgh from £18.50, but whether that is acheivable I don't know. Take a look on here and check for a single ticket each way as well as a return when comparing prices.

Where are you wanting to travel from and too? Happy to ckeck prices with you.

The rumour is not true but may be a twisted version of reality, as with so many rumours

However, there is an offer at the moment if you are 55 plus of £19 for a return ticket between any two Scottish stations for off peak travel. Lasts until the end of November.

Other companies have similar offers occasionally - but only in their own areas.

You just walk into any station in Scotland and buy the ticket and show proof of age if asked.

No, it's not true. However there are specific special offers as described above, and usually there are also cheap deals for booking 3 months in advance with most train companies.

always remember to research your journey before buying your train tickets.....it only takes a few mins to see if split journey tickets are cheaper. I have done it, and sometimes there is a saving.

Avoid the "trainline.com". They're only a ticket agency and will charge booking fees. Get your tickets from the TOC on the route you'll be travelling on.

You can get very cheap tickets if you buy 6-8 weeks in advance - we just missed out a few weeks ago, we could have got to Scotland and back for less then £50 for both of us - but all the cheapies had gone by the time we made up our mind to go, so we are having to pay full price. If I were you I would check at your local station, but you are running out of time if you want to go before Christmas.
