Lee, for future reference, it is also possible to get good rates to Market Harbourough using SWT (South West Trains) (so a slightly quicker journey) for around ^22.65 in total by buy a complete through ticket from Cosham (route +AP EMT» (East Midlands Trains - about)& CONNECT).  The Advance rates include a compulsory reservation from London to Market Harborough, but are unreserved on the way to London.  This means you can use any valid service (and booking websites are quoting SWT to Waterloo).

Cheers Brucey - I will indeed bear that in mind  Smiley

I've found a few 90p fares, but nothing on dates/times/flows that I'm needing to travel.  Given how slow the website has become, finding anything useful is almost impossible.
