I work on a certain station and all the Virgin trains aren't early, late etc. They have no control over the weather, speed limit and so forth. I would rather a train be late which by the way you can claim for compensation and revive a % back than an accident happen because a driver was going
To fast in bad weather conditions. I won't even go into detail the amount of fatalities which by law there are rules that must be adhered to. Yes if you book in advance (6 weeks is best) you get cheaper tickets etc rather than pay on the day when you pay full price. Always go direct aswell by through a 3rd party as this is also cheaper. You can also buy split tickets for a cheaper fair but let's be honest these prices are a bargain so snap them up

Are you trying to tell me it usually costs £10 from Preston to Glasgow as a standard fare? I think not!

The trains are very early, very late or not available anymore so don't for one minute think Branson is giving away anything at all generous. The £9 fare I used to sue until just before Xmas has more than doubled in cost. Typical Branson PR stunt. Once you find a useful fare, his evil minions hike it up.

Doing a comparison against a normal fare ends up with purchasing through the link costing more! I dare say there's some bargains for some folk so not voting either way.
Typical train companies. Raise the prices each year ABOVE inflation despite receiving billions in government subsidies and then have "sales" when the truth is these are much closer to what it should cost!

I've travel on the train quite a lot & no way are they as cheap as above. Thanks for the post!!! Heat added.

As always better to purchase off the TOC website directly. Do NOT use the trainline.com, they're a rip off.
