Faversham Newark
 
What's the cheapest way to do this journey? One adult and one child, They do
have a family railcard. I would say go by coach, but I don't know if there
are any rail offers they could take advantage of. Sorry if it's the wrong
group, but I didn't know which other group to ask in, and they are going
through London.

There's cheap and there's horrible. Train ill be reasonable and a lot
quicker and more comfortable. Try the National Rail Enquiries web site.

We'd need to know when (date and approximate time) the journey is
taking place to be absolutely accurate, as various advance rail fares
are quota- or time-before-journey- controlled. As a first data point,
travelling tomorrow you can get Super Advance Singles, which with the
railcard come to a total of 35.70. Journey time 3 hours - 1 hour into
Victoria, 40 mins across London to Kings Cross (a single short tube
journey), 1h20 to Newark.

As for the coach, it appears National Express don't serve Faversham -
the nearest place I could think of which they do was Canterbury.
Travelling tomorrow, you can get an adult and a child single for a
total of 43.20 (44.10 on a Friday). The journey time is *seven hours*,
including a 70 minute wait at Victoria Coach Station.
