If you travel on rail to County games Trainpal is offering a great deal 19 pounds for a rail card it's an app Trainpal but that's great value if you can get a rail card due to my age I can't get a single rail card I know it's bonkers

Sorry to put damper on it but..Rail Strike called for 30th July.
AWAY AT SUTTON.
Need to check travel arrangements.
(Tickets on sale on website etc)

I've had a Senior Railcard for some time, so this wouldn't benefit me. I recoup the cost of my card in three (longish) trips with a 1/3 reduction.

Of current concern is another strike on the rail system that coincides with my planned trip to Sutton United.

Yep just noticed Trainpal is giving at least a tenner off so great value that

I decided on National Express to get to London but I dithered yesterday, and overnight the price for the coach I wanted to use has doubled in price....... b*****ds.

Try clearing your cookies mate

Too late, I've booked an alternative time. I suspect this is more to do with the coach company deciding to fill their boots than my ticket search history.

I live near Southend so I can catch train to London at the moment, then tube and Thameslink to Sutton.

GWR is on strike and South Eastern, not South Western.

The "cheapest" way I know to buy a railcard is to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers. The value of vouchers are trebled up for the purchase so a one year railcard costs £10 of vouchers. You cannot buy a 3 years travelcard this was though, just the single year.

Ii reckon they might use an algorithm to raise the price slightly on a repeat visit to their site but doubling sounds more like naked opportunism.

Yes that's why you should clear your cookies

What I mean is going as far as doubling the price makes it more likely they have done it across the board.

Going to be a tough one this year with the likelihood of more strikes

For railcards as mentioned use Clubcard, or sometimes Trainline do a 1/3 off deal too, code currently is HELLORAILCARD33

Someone mentioned National Express - they are very expensive lately. Megabus and Flixbus are far cheaper.
