Train tickets

[hawkida]

I want to go to Leicester (from London) on 28th November and return on 29th. The cheapest train fare for this appears to be 48 quid, going by nationalrail.co.uk and thetrainline.com.

Is that really going to be the best I can get, or do cheaper advance tickets come out closer to the time? I note that I can get TO Leicester for nine quid, so why do they want to charge me so much more to come back?

Have you checked coach fares? They're often cheaper.

Coaches are the only vehicles that make me travelsick and the fact that you can't open a window makes it worse, unfortunately.

That can be a problem for me too.
