Minimizing travelling costs in the UK

Post by pythonista » Mon Mar 16, 2015 2:14 pm

Hi members,

As you all know travelling is so expensive in the UK. I want to know if there is any cheaper option for me to get to office from my home.

I need to travel daily from Leicester to London and I am using the National Rail for that (which includes tube travel as well).

I have to pay ~273 pounds for a week's travel (Mon-Fri) or ~900 for a month's (I can't afford buying annual ticket)
http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/service/s ... ket/search

None of the discounted fares seem to apply for me. I am 33 years.

Is there any other way I can travel cheaper that this? (Please don't suggest living near London).

Thanks

Is there an immigration query in your request for advice?
Char (CR001 not Casa)

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.

I believe it comes under immigrants 'settling in' Char. They've posted in the correct section of the forum
(Casa, not CR001)
Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
