About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Avanti West have further reduced their Superfare tickets from London to Birmingham (and vice versa). A one way ticket is now £9. A Superfare ticket allows you to book your journey for a specific date, and choose to travel in the morning, afternoon, or evening at a cheaper fare, but their exact time of departure will be selected by the rail operator. You can only book 7 – 21 days before your departure date. Could be an option if looking for a lower price train ticket and have some flexibility in the time you travel.

sorted byDoes anyone know if this is actually enforced in practice?
If you get on or off earlier than the stop on your ticket, you'll find the barriers won't let you in or out, and the ticket inspector might ask you to buy a new ticket.
Otherwise, if there's no barriers, I guess there's nothing to stop you getting off early and walking out the station.
Every Train ran on time.I had a seat on all trains and total cost £41 (edited)
The purpose of this offer is to fill empty seats on less busy trains.
If you pick morning, it'll most likely be 7am.
If you pick evening, it's most likely to be 9pm.
Obviously, it could be any other time within the timeframe of each slot, but you have to expect them to put you on the least busy train in each time slot.
If you don't mind that, then you'll get a good deal.
Plans changed and would like to recover some of it. Please buzz if interested
If you have trains that do these trips why spend billions on HS2 disrupting the countryside?
so if you look at faq's on the site says this
'Can I travel with children?Yes of course. However, little ones need a Superfare ticket too at the same price as an adult. Please bear in mind that this means they will have a seat reservation, but we can’t promise you’ll be in the same carriage as this is subjective to availability. Please make sure you check your seat allocations before travelling. If you have any seating requests, please ring our call centre on 0345 528 0253.'
However if you look on their main site it says something slightly different
Do I have to pay for my child’s ticket? If you’re travelling with little ones under the age of five, you don’t need to book a ticket for them as they travel free of charge with a fare paying adult. Bear in mind that this means they won’t have a seat reservation and might have to sit on your knee if the train is busy.
If you want to ensure that they have a seat of their own, you can book a ticket for them at the standard child fare in the usual way, by going online, using the app, booking in person or calling us.
they could sell shorter routes i.e. Birmingham-Glasgow, even if it's the same price as from London (edited)
