They have limited availability but I've never had problems getting them for when I need them. Think they have to be booked at least a week in advance.

thanks mate, ill have a look at that.

do you just book it like a normal train i.e using the thing on the left?

I travelled on a Monday....

And in standard class you don't get chocolate rice crispie cakes... It's worth the extra just for that! lol

I have tried several times to get that £6 ticket. Each time I have been told that it is unavailable.
Lat time I went down to London I went by coach which was £5 there and £11 back, I think. The journey was comfortable if rather long. 4 hours there and five and a half back. The annoying thing was that on my return there was yet another advert through the post advertising the £6 ticket to London!!

I'm not sure why you couldn't get one. You do need to be flexible about your travelling times when booking as there may only be one or two trains a day with £6 fares left. e.g. I've just found one on the 12.27 train to St Pancras next Tuesday. You also need to book two singles not a return and it's £6 each way.

Thanks for the advice!
