Edinburgh or Manchester for a quid
Following up from yesterday's comparison of rail fares; today's Guardian ran an article on finding cheap fares. This mentioned that Megatrain covers both South West and Virgin routes. I thought maybe this was where routes merge south of London but had a look anyway. To my amazement I discovered that Oxenholme is covered on a route that runs from Manchester to Glasgow and Edinburgh. I could travel to Scotland or Manchester for a quid! The routes are clearly designed to use lightly loaded services and I suspect the choice of using Oxenholme rather than Lancaster or Preston is that passenger numbers are lighter too from here. It's great news, and a service I endeavour to make the use of soon.
