Exeter away ticket details....

so that's what, another 500 tickets? The more the better, but they're seriously deluded if they think that's going to satisfy the demand.
 
These details have been available on here before the weekend.

I will find the proper discussion for you.
 
I spy with my little eye......someone beginning with "E";)
 
Trainline app is better and free. National rail app costs money don't it?
 
The best site I've found is "thetrainline.co.uk" as it allows you to find train times plus the cost of a ticket for all the different bands. It highlights a number of trains around the time you are looking at so if there is a cheap ticket going for a earlier train, you can see it quite easily. I think there is a pound service charge but to save on postage, you can pick the tickets up from a machine. Just use the same card that you bought the ticket with.

Finally, before booking the tickets check the train operator website (the name of the train will be shown on thetrainline site) to see if they offer an extra 10% discount, some do. But as there will be quite a few Blades going I would book the ticket now as the best tickets prob won't be available closer to the day. I think you can pay a cancellation fee (quid or so) just in case you can't make it or you change your plans, and so you can get a refund.

Good luck

I think on thetrainline.com the £1 fee is for insurance rather than a cancellation fee and can only be claimed to cover situations where you legitimately can no longer go (i.e. because you become ill) rather than because you failed to get a ticket for the Exeter - Blades game.
 



There is actually no 'official' national rail app, though they do license their data for use. The fact that you can see live progress of each train is a neat feature of some of the apps that use their data, though the fact that you can't actually buy tickets using them is rubbish, and for me that's why the trainline app is the best one.



Cheapest one on the iphone that offers the realtime stuff and also tells you what platform each train departs from (A boon for a perpetually tardy person like myself) is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/live-uk-train-departures/id438104470?mt=8 OR http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/railcommute/id449841826?mt=8

£2.49 each, which is half the price of the others.

CrossCountry now does an app which lets you buy tickets for any UK train without booking fees.

Or you could just use the National Rail mobile website which I've linked above (m.nationalrail.co.uk/pj/home): that's got realtime arrivals/departures and is free. As you need a data connection to run either of those apps you may as well just create a Safari link on your homescreen.

Bloody iPhone users...more money than sense.
