Cheaper fares are quota-controlled and may
have already been sold by the time a last-minute
booking is made. For example, a standard class
London-Manchester rail fare booked two days
from departure is likely to cost around £220 but
this fi gure can come down to as little as £70
when booked in advance.
Travel off peak, i.e., after 10am and before 4pm,
and benefi t from savings of as much as 75%.
Combine one-way fares, or split tickets, so the
traveller uses a restricted fare for the outbound
journey and a semi-fl exible ticket on the return.
The result is signifi cant savings compared to the
fully fl exible option.
