  * Yoof-26 fare for people still with hair
  * Leisure-Saver, need to stay one Saturday night away, or two nights during the week (non-changeable etc)
  * Leisure-Saver, but booked 21days in advance (also non-changeable etc)
  * OAP, fare for people without hair, anyone feel like trying this on?

The 10:43 on Friday seems to be £29.50, but returns on Sunday night at 17:56 or 20:25 are £49.50. I can't see anything later. - JD

The 10:42 on Friday seems to have gone up to £39.50 now, so you may as well leave at 14:42. - Robot101
