Anyone done anything about travel for this yet? Just booked my train, prices not too bad for a week day either. Down on the 12.15 from Picc, stop overnight home following morning. Only booked the Manc - London bit yet, £86 in 1st class - cattle class is £44. These are return prices

Booked in at the King Edward with the mrs and two mates.

 

Won summat on Twitter with Virgin 11 months ago for a pair of free return tickets on West Coast Main Line so that's done us as far as London then it's ended up about £12 each for the London-Gillingham leg with our Two Together Railcard. Two lads coming with us have used our discount for their Manc-London leg so cost them about £42 overall for trains I think which isn't bad at all given the distance.

St Panchas 17.25 gets into Gillingham at 18.06

 

Return 22.20 gets back into St Panchas at 23.06

 

Not sure how long it takes from ground to station - googled it its 11mins walk

 

Are you staying over in London Biggish?

Is it worth me getting this two together before Gillingham? What does it save you?

Costs £30 to buy I think and saves a third - Gillingham alone should pay for it, any other trips over the next 12 months with your travel partner will have you in profit. Even Sheffield has saved a tenner between 2

Can't recommend it enough. Pays for itself with any trip over £45 and then the savings roll in after that.

so a £57 journey would save me?

I presume you're talking £57 each so a total of £114. You save a third of that so a saving of £38 - that pays for your railcard and first pint you each have

Oxford away has just been confirmed for the following Tuesday after Gillingham. Mileage!

Aye coming thick and fast, Feb,march and April got decent always but obviously £££

Went to Oxford in summer for a night out and was surprised to find it was a bit shit really, probably better during Uni semesters like, but just couldn't seem to find an area with a lot going on.

 

£££ and work annual leave is going to stop me from going to at least one of these midweekers

Fucks sake, means it lands on the same payday as Shrewsbury away, Oldham away and Scunthorpe away!

Isn't fleetwood march as well

Went once years ago- found a pub with more whiskies in it than I've ever seen.

Yes.

 

Bus replacement from Preston apparently.

Only a tenner behind the goal for this

Depends how many we're expecting to take, think they've put a few clubs just in the side stand. At least we'd get a roof if that was the case.

£22 in side stand. They best put me behind the goal????

Unfortunately, due to the Oxford date I'm now out.

 

Me and the lad fly to Cambodia for a tour of SE Asia the day after Oxford so 2 days hol 4 Gills the week before ain't possible.

Undecided on which one out of gills and oxford yet
