Taking Rail Around UK

[Help?]

I need to travel from London to Sunderland and back on March 30th. Whats the best cheapest way to do that? Are UK rail prices pretty stable and standard? I saw something roundtrip for like 100 pounds!

 

[Help?]

Guess that means there aren't that many Brits in this forum

Nothing is stable and standard in the UK!

Checking The TrainLine shows prices to be £122 return to go there and back on the same day, but if you can hang around until Sunday morning, it will be about £91

Look on www.thetrainline.com

Sorry I don't catch trains south of Queen Street Station so I therefore have no idea about getting to Sunderland - or London for that matter.

 

[Help?]

100 pounds for a train ticket. thats nuts. I could fly london to Spain cheaper than that

For this distance, you will probably pay roughly the same amount in Canada, using Via Rail.

Yea but Canada has megabus, where Toronto - Montreal can cost like 20 bucks sometimes

UK also has Megabus and National Express. Megabus is £19 each way

Megabus is OK but can be a wee bit crowded on the weekend.

 

[Help?]

just checked, megabus is 80 pounds. Must be because of easter.

Ended up booking the train for 100 pounds after all
