Wigan away trains?

[Royals and Racers]

I`m looking to go to Wigan with my grandson on the train. Does anyone know what would be the cheapest way to go. I have seen one way is 1 change at Birmingham going and 1 change at Wolverhampton coming back.

By a railcard, split at Banbury.

Reading to Banbury (day return)
Banbury to birmingham (two advanced singles there and back)
Birmingham to Wigan (two advanced singles there and back)

Advance tickets are often cheaper, but if the game is rescheduled you will probably be out of pocket - best to check the cancellation/refund policy.

Time of travel can also affect prices, I did Reading to Derby £15 there and £25 back booked in advance at different times on Cross Country trains.

Assuming Grandson doesn't already have a train season ticket (Gold Card), which gives 1/3rd off travel for him and 3 others travelling with him, A railcard may be worth investing in, Three is an OAP one (you may not qualify, you may be a young Granddad) or a family one.... maybe a student one if Grandson is at uni.

Tv matches already announced-we are not on therefore 3pm KO-Rarely use the train so a £30 railcard wouldn`t save me anything-have bought before I read 3rd post-am changing at Brum int going and Wolverhampton coming back.
