Thanks chaps, it isn't a bad price anyway, but I will wait another day or two before booking in case the price suddenly drops.
On another tack - having trouble getting my picture back!

You need Judith for the avatar tips. Try this link (sorry, still can't do clicky links 😂)

Here we go - screenshot from Virgin Trains East Coast at 19:35 this evening.

Bizarre tho' it may appear, you're going to get the best deal buy buying two individual tickets. One for you. One for Mike. This will save you a couple of pounds. Which you can use to buy me a pint in Montrose . . .

But be quick! The price isn't going to drop. It's going to increase, 'cos there's only a very limited number of these rock-bottom tix. For example, at 06:00 this morning I bought Edinburgh > Inverness > Strathcarron for the princely sum of £6.60. This evening I'd've paid £12.25 . . .

Thanks Humphrey, that worked okay, I just hope they let us off okay at Taynuilt instead of continuing to Oban, because we are dropping off some supplies there to have a light walk on Day 1. If there's a problem, I suppose we go to Oban then pay to stay on the train back to Taynuilt or something! Anyway, well done for finding the cheap tickets, you're a star! :heart_eyes:

Unfortunately there seems to be a system against offering discounted tickets solely for travel on the West Highland line, possibly because it would detract from all the tourist fares revenue. Oddly I did manage by chance, to find cheap tickets to Mallaig a few years ago from Newcastle but not Morar; needless to say as there was about £20 difference,I bought the ticket to Mallaig and hoped out 1 stop early!

FYI Using Trainline app today, I bought Glasgow - Mallaig for £23.80 (normal price £35).Had I been happy to arrive at 23.35 it would have been £5.00! Today is the day! :wink:

Bought tickets yesterday from Harrogate to Oban for 10 May. By splitting, Harrogate to Glasgow was £12.50 with senior card for an 'advance single', but 12.21 Glasgow to Oban with senior card only had 'anytime single' at £16.70. I doubt either price will improve nor an advance ticket become available on the second element. Oddly I couldn't reserve a seat on the West Highland section but then I was using the excellent Virgin East Coast website. Tickets arrived this morning though.

Scotrail Glasgow to Fort William came down from £52 to £18.50 yesterday.

Have just purchased online (with senior railcard) through raileasy.co.uk a single ticket from Chesterfield to Edinburgh for £26.25 (including seat selection) plus ticket for Edinburgh to Inverness the following day for £3.30 (no seat selection). Total cost, including booking fee and ticket delivery by first class post £33.55.

Two First Class tickets Glasgow to Inverness for £20.00...standard tickets £16.60 for two....WIN! :grinning:
