Not if you book in advance; a single journey London -> Newcastle in 3 months will cost £29.10, vs. traveling today which would cost £121.00.
- Timmons 11y agoFor regular trips that is true, and great. For more urgent trips or trips where the date may be flexible you are kind of stuck paying that huge cost most the time. I used to live in Cambridge and had a similar problem on my frequent visits to Newcastle which I couldn't pin a date down for.
