Train tickets

The recommended website for buying train tickets is www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com/
It's really well designed and easy to use and copes well with railcards. In conjunction with the machines at Barking station that can print out the tickets you've bought, it makes for an excellent and quick ticket buying set up.

However, I tried to buy a return from Barking to/from Romford. The cheapest it offered me was £4. Then it let me go all the way through to typing in my credit card number and then said the minimum purchase was £5. Annoying, but I'm glad in a way because when I bough the ticket directly from a machine at Barking Station, the fare was £2.65
