Redspottedhanky Warns Train Travellers of Increased Need to Book Early

LONDON, November 26, 2010 - Redspottedhanky warns that travellers will need to make the most of all
the available deals, discounts and advanced bookings in order to avoid paying
premium prices following the announcement by the Association of Train
Operating Companies that train fares will rise by an average of 6.2 per cent
in January 2011.

"It is a reality that ticket fares will become more expensive as a result
of increased demand on the UK's rail network. The onus is now on train
travellers to think outside the box when it comes to booking their rail
travel," said Andrea Morgan from redspottedhanky.com.

Andrea Morgan highlighted that the average fare is set to rise to GBP5.19
next year, but by checking all the options there are still competitive offers
available if travellers are willing to shop around before they book train
tickets (www.redspottedhanky.com/trains/ticket-types/).

"Booking in advance and committing yourself to a train and travel date
can save you up to 80 per cent on the fare bought at the ticket office on the
day of travel," commented Andrea Morgan.

These cheap train tickets (www.redspottedhanky.com/ ) are usually
released by train operators around 12 weeks in advance of the journey, and
are then managed on a regular basis by the company to control demand.

"To get around the hike in fares, don't leave it until the last minute to
book your ticket," advised Andrea Morgan.
