Train tickets to Swindon advice

Try having a look on East Coast trains, if there's cheaper tickets to be had at this stage theyll be on that site. I never book anywhere else.

Also most of the time it's better to break the route down into singles rather than a straight return.

Exactly right
Cheapest return is 90 quid+

If you book singles and also split the journey
you can probably half that.

e.g.

Dep 7:56 Sheff Arr 9:08 Birmingham 11 pounds 90
Dep 9:30 Brum Arr 10:10 Cheltenham 8 pounds 80
Dep 11:00 Cheltnm Arr 12:03 Swindon 3 pounds 90

Just over 24 quid for the outbound journey
Loads of other combinations. You just need to do some homework and be prepared to be flexible.
