Book Virgin trains in advance and save money
I have been looking to book a Virgin train from London to the Midlands and have been really impressed with the fares. They have had a bad press but if you book ahead you can save a serious amount of money. Many of the complaints that I have read are to do with the high prices that people have paid.
Well you can get a one way ticket from London to Birmingham travelling late morning for £7.00. You can choose a table seat, an electrical socket and pay for Wifi on the Virgin trains too. If you don’t book in advance expect to pay nearer the £45 mark. By booking ahead with Virgin you get the discounted ticket price BUT you have to travel on that day and time listed. If you want a more flexible train ticket then you will have to pay much more.But for £7.00 for an advance Virgin ticket, I think that is pretty good.
The taxi to get me to London Euston is going to take around one to one hour and a half hours….that’s London for you. Imagine what that would cost for a taxi fare in Marbella bearing in mind it costs almost 80 euros one way for a trip that lasts around 35 minutes from the airport. Well I have been told by a couple of London taxi firms it will cost £30.00.
London is getting cheaper and cheaper as a holiday destination when I compare the prices to what we pay here…..
