Cheapest FC (First Class, or Fat Controller, or Football Club, depending on context) I can get is a 133.50 anytime

:-(

Is there any splitting/advance options available still?

Leave after 0900 - depart after 1700

Yeah - issue came up about five minutes ago

Mom managed to kill her computer - my old iMAc - (HOW!!!!!) and since she can't even grasp a desk top - "oh you want me to click on the screen>" well yeah doh! but on a bit that doesnt have an open app on it (whats an app?) etc etc

She's lost her emails, deleted safari, got some weird shit happening

But at that price, she can wait until saturday to buy anything from jml.com

You've quoted the single fare but mention 'Leave after 0900 - depart after 1700'.

Returning same day I take it?

Better going to trainline with that fee! Allthough I suspect it will be ^1 for the booking, 50p each ticket to pick them up ToD.

Eh? The OP (Original Poster / topic starter, or Off Peak, depending on context) more than likely purchased the tickets from a TOC (Train Operating Company) website, so no fees.

Wise, nasty nasty Trainline/redspottyhanky/quno/qjump/raileasy charging to buy tickets when they already get a 9% selling fee.
