We've been trying to book 3 tickets from Glasgow to Birmingham for a few weeks- we keep checking to see if prices have gone down but they haven't and the ticket price was stuck at £138. This included a family rail card as well and as the outward journey was only £40 we were looking for alternatives and found tickets through Megatrain.com for £6 each . Best of all, it's exactly the same train and times as the £138 one
The only issue I can find is that they don't issue tickets, just a reference number that you print off and produce on the train. I also dont think you can reserve seats but as we're getting on at the start of the journey we should be ok.
Is there a catch to this or has anyone else used it successfully? I have an image of the ticket collector refusing to accept a reference number and having to pay full price on the day!
