Despite the name, you can buy train tickets for any of the UK train routes via the First TransPennine Express site. What’s so great about it?

No credit card or booking fees.

Simple, clean website design.

Clever auto-complete (e.g. trying getting a ticket to or from Bristol and the pop up list of stations tells you which is the one near the city centre).

It gives you single and return prices on the same page (none of the “click here because two singles may be cheaper” aka “let’s try to hide the best prices from you because why would you want us to show you the cheapest option?” nonsense found elsewhere).

And if you use the Quidco cashback site you also get some pennies back.
