To get to Manchester from London early, the only throughout return fare is the open return at £219. The train's first stop is Stoke-on-Trent so you can't split it into short sections. Instead, buy an open return to Stoke-on-Trent (£182) then a saver return Stoke to Manchester (£12.30). Total £194.30, saving £24.70. This works because the cheap saver return from Stoke is valid on any train, any day - and for the homeward journey this is no problem as all bar one train a day calls at Stoke-on-Trent. 6. LONDON-NEWCASTLE
You have to leave London for Newcastle on the 0800 train and the open return costs £224. The train calls at Peterborough - and savers to the north from Peterborough are available any train, any day.
