The following supplied by Marden Womble: Away Travel Info – Chester Away 31/10 Before today virgin trains return was £66.00. This morning you can get a single to Chester for £11.00 out on the 11.10 arrives 13.12. Coming back is still £30.00 (on the 17.55) but £41.00 total is better than the £66.00 they quoted before. (Still more expensive than the £33.50 Barrow trip!)
It is also possible to do it for £24.80 – 14.80 Birmingham to Chester return and 2x£5.00 singles to Birmingham but these £5.00 fares are on slow trains and take 2.5 hours between London and Birmingham.
Hope this may be of help to anyone.
