Re-Morgaging my house to go clubbing!

Iam planning a trip to Turnmills on the 13th October then we are all going back to my mates halls of residence in Reading afterwards for a party. As I live in Leicester I've worked out that it will cost me �50.50 in total travel costs to get into London by coach, get the tube from Charing cross to Farringdon, then from Farringdon tube to Reading station (via Paddington) then finally get a coach from Reading to Leicester at the end of it all. None of the people going can drive so I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on how to make it cheaper?

Get the train, its really easy for the London > Reading stretch but does cost a fair bit if you buy the ticket on the day. Try booking it online early, you can get about 70% off sometimes.

i second this .. off peak with set travel times and you can get to london from most places (i presume given nottm and sheffield) for around �5 or �6 one way .. i think that included railcard discount too though it wouldnt be far off that price ...

Just wondering, when I get the tube train from Victoria it seems that I will have to get off and transfer to another line a few minutes before the end of my journey. This halfway stop could be either Kings cross thameslink or Blackfriars depending on the time I get the first train from Victoria tube. Thing is it seems that Blackfriars is actaully not a tube station according to www.thetrainline.com and how will I know what station to get off at in the first place? Is it printed on the tube tickets?

I'm confused, lol

Get the Victoria line to Kings Cross then Circle to Farringdon. Dont bother with Blackfriars
