Davros, as a man who has often booked trains between our two fair cities
which is the best website through which to book tickets?

East Coast trains.
you'll get a discount and there's no booking fee. It's usually cheaper to buy two singles rather than a return; just booked ours for swipey's bash a couple of weeks ago and it came to £40 each.

I'm waiting for the tickets to become available for the Iron Maiden weekend.

Set up an alert on the site.
And a reminder in your calendar to check your emails. The really cheap tickets don't last long; you can get a one-way journey for about £12 if you're quick and book as soon as they are released.

If you're coming back on a Sunday it'll be a little bit more expensive unless you're willing to travel at arse o' clock in the morning. Which I suspect will not be the case.

I checked the weekend before
and I think I'll just have to accept that it will cost about £90 return as I'm travelling up on the friday night.

Bummer.
Can you not get the day off, or a half day, and get an earlier train? We're getting a Friday lunchtime train down in July and it's only costing us about £15 each.

Nah, i don't have much holiday
and my mate Charlie definitely wouldn't take the day off.

Probably still worth checking as soon as they are released.
You never know.

I'm waiting to find out if there will be a Hawkfest this year.
