  1. Two important restrictions on this sale (see the terms at: https://greatbritishrailsale.nationalrail.co.uk/#/great-british-rail-sale ) : Tickets need to be purchased at last 7 days before travel, and railcards can't be used.
  2. According to the National Rail site (https://greatbritishrailsale.nationalrail.co.uk/#/great-british-rail-sale) the sale has now officially started (until 29th Jan, for travel between 30th Jan and 15th March), though not all rail operators are participating. As always, moneysavingexpert.com has some excellent info and tips to make the most of this sale at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-coach-train-ticket-deals/ (It will also surely be featured in the MSE weekly email, which usually goes out on Tuesday night).
  3. Too late to edit my previous post but just saw on the Transpennine Express site that this offer only lets you make "1 purchase per account for a maximum of 4 return journeys or 8 one-way journeys." They have a number you can call to order tickets if you don't have access to digital channels. See the FAQ about the sale at: https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/sale. You can also see details of the Transpennine Express routes at: https://www.tpexpress.co.uk/travelling-with-us/routes.
  4. Transpennine Express (with trains between Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow and more) now also has a £1 flash sale. until 23:59pm on Friday, 19 January. Children aged 5-15 can travel for 50p. The sale covers select journeys from Monday, 22nd January and Friday 8th March on TransPennine Express services only, and exclude trains from 29th Jan to 6th Feb, because of industrial action. Once again, good info on how to obtain the discount on the Transpennine Express site and app are on the Money Saving Expert site: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/transpennine-express/#55362
  5. Northern Rail has another flash ticket sale (£1 adults, 50p kids from 5-15, up to two kids under 5 with each paying adult) for selected (mostly off peak) advance journeys on its own network from 10th Jan to 1st March. Bookings can only be made on the Northern Rail site and the Northern Rail App (not on other sites or at stations) until 4 p.m. on Friday. You need to select 'Standard Advanced Ticket' (They're highlighted) and can only book single journeys (i.e. for a round trip, buy two singles). Tickets are non-refundable, but you can use the train swap function on the Seatfrog app to change to another ticket on the same day for £2.50. NB: You can't use railcards on these journeys but if you decide on a different ticket, you can get railcards for half price using Tesco Clubcard vouchers.) Also, until 23:59 pm. on 10th Jan, Great Western Railway has a sale (up to 50% off) on tickets from 10th Jan to 26th April on its own network As with the Northern sale, it's mostly for off peak tickets and the best tickets are going quickly but there are many tickets going into London on good ballet dates (e.g. Oxford to London Paddington) More about all of the above on the Money Saving Expert site: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/cheap-coach-train-ticket-deals/ Yaffa (with no connection to any of the above - just passing on the info)
  6. Sorry to post this so close to the deadline... Northern Rail are having another flash sale with advance tickets at 10p, 50p. £1 and £2 for adults (half price for kids aged 5-15, and up to two children under 5 free per adult ticket), for travel between Monday 11th Sept and Friday 20th Oct. They're only for selected single journeys (mostly off-peak), and you can only book the tickets on the Northern Rail website and app (not at ticket offices) This time around, if you're not sure what time you'll be able to travel, you can use the Seatfrog app (whereby you pay £2.50 to change the time, but not the date of the ticket). More details at https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/deals/northern-rail/#55031 - and, as always, you can get good info about other train deals elsewhere on the MSE Site: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-train-tickets/ Yaffa (with no connection to any of the above bodies, just passing on the info...)
  7. Amphitheatre Lower Slips, A-113 Amphitheatre Lower Slips, A-112 Not yet sure whether one or both tickets will be available. Selling at cost price of £3 each
  8. Selling 1 ticket (front row on the left) for RBS' summer performance at Holland Park tonight (7 pm). It's mostly Upper School: £30
  9. It's not just the cost, but also the terms which have changed. In the past I would often stay in dorms of the same company (Sanctuary Students - usually Dinwiddy House) for a few days in the summer, while attending RBS Summer performances. In recent years, prices shot up and last year the minimum was three nights. This year, all their London properties are only available for a minimum of three weeks...
  10. Happy to contribute towards expenses for anyone driving up North after the last RBS performance on Saturday night (8th July). I'd ideally like to get up to Cheshire/Manchester but somewhere along the way might also work.
  11. Scout Forsythe posted an interesting video on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0IXH8_AHQs
  12. They've posted an update about the confusion and confirming the July deadline: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2023/january/royal-mail-stamps-deadline-july/
  13. Hard to keep a straight face when you read about the "coup de PA" and see dancers being told to use their to use their "porter bra..."
