The two two train

Following our marathon driving effort in August in Scotland our next jaunt in late October sees us back on the train (probably our favourite mode of transport) and heading back to London. We'll fill in the details about this in a few weeks but we have a really special trip planned.

Anyway back to the trains and whilst hitting the Virgin website in search of advance tickets we came across the "Two Together" railcard designed, as the name implies that if theres two of you travelling together then you can get up to 1/3 off ticket prices. Ideal, especially when used knowing the best time to get advance tickets too - we usually try about 6 weeks from travelling though it can be a bit of a lottery.

​So following the usual quandry over which photo is best we applied on line and 2 days later it arrived in the post. Great service. Yes it does cost £30 per year but do a couple of trips and it pays for itself. For us it means we're going from Wigan to London for £39 outward (standard) and £72 return (that's first class too) so £111 in total for both of us.

London here we come!

This info very helpful. Something that would appeal to Beth and Greg.
