Train Travel from ED/PR/Denmark Hill to Birmingham (best train website?)

[cate]

Can anyone advise me the best website to go to to book a day return ticket next Thursday? Can the travel from this area be included in the ticket? I have heard that sometimes it is better to book two singles. I can travel from any of the above three stations. Any help gratefully received.

[James Barber]

I travel to Birmingham 2-4 times a month.

I've found the most relaxing way to do this is bus or walking to by Denmark Hill then train to St.Pancras. Then walk 5mins to Euston. Then train from Euston to Birmingham.

I've generally found the cheapest way is to buy seperate train tickets and really get a cheap deal from Virgin TRains for the Euston to Birmingham part.

[Rozza]

I'm from Brum, so go back there quite regularly. The cheapest ticket is on the Chiltern line from Marylebone to Birmingham Moor St or Snow Hill, which are both just as central as New Street station, although it takes a bit longer than the Virgin train from Euston. It's just a bit of a pain to get to Marylebone from this neck of the woods - the Bakerloo line from Elephant and Castle might be best.

Hope that helps!

This gives you a rough idea, dependent on what time you want to leave etc

Ms Crawthew, thanks for your posting! I think I might be calling Virgin tomorrow while consulting your list in order to pick their brains, if they have any, about their fare structures. Blinking, blimey, cor luv a duck!
