A relatively recent innovation is the travel planner - not by any means perfect but helpful: | Transport Direct - Britain's free online journey planner This is a government agency and officially sponsored. You will get links to tickets and the like. I have a short guide on getting the cheapest rail tickets (usually in advance - walkup tickets in the UK are extremely expensive): Cheap rail tickets in the UK There are other options too - Martin Lewis's MoneySaving site is very useful: Cheap Train Tickets: how to find hidden fares and he has some great forums where you can pop specialized questions.
