Martin Lewis urges Britons to book trains for Christmas travel now before prices rise

MSE warned that, while cheaper, advance tickets are non-refundable.

“You can change the time and date of your ticket, and either rebook or get a voucher valid for 12 months, though there’s often a £10 admin fee,” the team explained.

It may also be worth considering other forms of transport.

On Saturday, the government announced up to £3 million funding is to be made available to provide up to 80,000 more seats on coach services over the Christmas travel window.
