Question

Does anyone know any cheap web sites for buying train tickets? UK?

Answer 1

www.thetrainline.co.uk shows all the different train co's fares. also i think megabus do some train journey tickets too now. and if you go on the Money Saving Expert website (just google it) there's loads of tips about how to get cheap travel, eg 'splitting' tickets - where you buy 2 tix for different parts of one journey.

Answer 2

www.thetrainline.co.uk

You can get cheap tickets if you book in advance.

If your journey is a return journey, when you have accessed the list of train tmes, follow the link which says '2 singles may be cheaper', because the cheap advance fares are sold as single fares, not as returns.

Hope this helps

If you know the name of the rail company serving your destination, you can use their websites too.
