British Rail National Enquiries - 0845 7484950

If you are travelling as a group phone First Great Western on
08457 413 777 for group discount.

A Student Railcard costs £26 for 1 year - to purchase you will need your student card, proof of age and a photo and will need to buy this in advance (not on the morning of travel!) This gives a discount of 33%

Advance tickets are available for around £20 but you must book these well in advance

With a Student Railcard you cannot usually travel before 10am or until 19.10 (7.10pm) on your return journey so check the details.

Road
If driving could you offer a fellow student a lift to share costs?
The SU minibus is available for hire (you will obviously need a valid driving licence)
Coach - 08717 818 181
Coach is very slow (around 6hrs one way) but economical - especially if you book in advance. When you arrive in London you will then need to make your way from Victoria Coach Station to the Tate Modern (tube to Blackfriars).

A day return is £33 from a booking office but cheaper tickets are available online - you may be able to get a cheap 'funfare' ticket but you will need to book this online, in advance:
