Cheapest train tickets from Reading to Edinburgh?

Question

Hi, I'm looking to leave late afternoon on the 8th August and return on the 13th or 14th August.

I can arrive at either Edinburgh Waverley or Haymarket.

I have heard that you can find cheaper tickets by purchasing singles, I can go onto National Rail enquiries and search but it's coming up with a return fare of £155!!!

There must be a cheaper way, please help me find it!

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you have left it a little late to take two singles. There are such available for your return journey at £51, but the cheapest single northbound late after on the 8 August is £114 1st class, which gives you no savings. In fact, www.thetrainline.com gives the cheapest return as £177, so the option at National Rail Enquiries is better, Your last option is to have a look at http://tickets.nationalexpresseastcoast.... which may help - there do appear to be some quite cheap single tickets available from and to King's Cross particularly if you can travel a little earlier in the afternoon of the 8th
