might have to do a return journey to London soon and wondered whether to drive or catch the train.

what dy'all reckon it would cost (approx)...... will be in a Renault Scenic 1.6 driving at a steady 70mph..... ta!

I make it to my brother's and back (High Wycombe) in my 1.6 clio on a full tank, for me about 50 in today's prices. however my dad gets free 1st class travel with vrigin trains thanks to his work, so I usually travel with him

?65-70 in unleaded at around 35mpg.

400 miles ish = 45 ish litres * 1.25 = about 55 quid

That there London!

so ?45 on train plus ?5-?6 tube fares is looking a better option based on your guesses.

Indeed, next to London Town Hall.

Let the train take the strain.

 

You can take some beers, your Ipod and a good book for a relaxing journey.

 

If you have a heavy weekend, you can sleep on the way back.

 

No traffic jams or road rage.

Do you HAVE to go?

I'd avoid it if I were you, save yourself a few bob, as it's shit!

HTH!

A bint with a mind..

 

 

 

** I suppose if national government follow Boris' footsteps, drinking on the train could be made illegal too. YHIHF

Am a bit south of London and my car isn't exactly economic on fuel (about 31mpg) and a 500 mile round trip for each game seemed to be costing about ?90 petrol!!

I had the same dilema today. Eigty quid on fuel or sixty five with tube travel. I love train travel in the quiet coach, good book, itouch, and staring at our wonderful countryside. Plus you can get off at various stops in london and have a pint

Lad at work dropped his Touch down the shitter

A good friend of mine has dropped her pager down the loo, then, a mobile phone.

 

The same person has twice scooped up her mobile phone in her bedding and put it through a cycle in the washing machine.

Petrol

Depreciation

Insurance

Car poll tax

 

All told, couple of hundred quid (unless company car)

ok..... options are dep Wigan at 06.05 on Saturday to Purley. Kipping down at my cousins.

Returning Sunday after lunch...... all-in - ?50.90

(excludes the Tube tickets I'd need to bum around London on the Saturday day/night)

 

Dilemma 1.

Getting to/from Wigan at ridiculous o'clock.

 

Dilemma 2.

Getting from North London to Purley late on a Saturday night/early hours Sunday morning.

 

All suggestions - please forward to.......

Last train Victoria to Purley I think is 1am. After that every hour but they aren't scheduled to stop at Purley but occasionally do - basically get a bird to ask the driver and chances are they will. If they won't then each of those trains on the hour stops at East Croydon and taxi from there - not to far c?10 I guess!

 

Where abouts North London though?

go on virgin.com and tell em you want to go to purley, they normally include such for buttons.
