Fare news Chiltern Railways

The company has published a leaflet entitled 'If you think fares to London should be fairer, join us' which sets out the range of fares (as at June 2010) available on its services. Very useful BUT it lists the Anytime Return fare of £82 correctly without mentioning that you never need to buy it! As my June posting (http://birmingham2london.blogspot.com/2010/06/chiltern-fares.html) pointed out, a combination of peak single out to London and off-peak or Super off-peak single back will always save you money...

A 10% discount on any Chiltern fare to London from Birmingham MOOR STREET is available to holders of the VIP Gastro Card until 31st December 2010. Unfortunately, this card was a Chiltern promotion at the July Taste of Birmingham event so are no longer available.

HOWEVER, the leaf-fall timetable which runs from last Monday (4th October) to Friday 10th December means that Super off-peak singles and returns are now valid on the 10.52 departure from Snow Hill as it is booked to arrive in London Marylebone at 13.02. An extra half-hour in London thanks to the onset of Autumn!
