Cheap train tickets?

I'm going to a Clearing open day at Southampton Solent University this saturday, and the websites I've looked at for train tickets are quite expensive. If it helps I've tried thetrainline.com, National rail and Southern services. The most cheapest one that I found out those three was at thetrainline.com for £24.30. If anyone could give me suggestions on where I can buy cheaper train tickets, that would be great. Thank you :smile:

Try these two as well, nice way of dodging high costs.

Trainline have a booking fee. Virgin Trains, for example, don't.

Do you have a 16-25 railcard? It's £28 and valid for a year (though you can get one for three years, not sure of the price) and will entitle you to 1/3 off the cost of most train fares (the only exception I can think of being Anytime tickets which are less than £12 at full adult price) so you can make the money back very quickly and save a fortune, especially if you use it a lot or for long journeys.
