£12.50 Return from Lancaster....

how much to get to Lancaster

Could you buy the Lancaster ticket and jump on somewhere closer? Ie Wigan or Preston maybe?

Great price, I hope it doesn't get moved for Sky!!

Yes

 

I have done it a few times

 

Bought from Lancaster to London rather than Wigan, It can often be cheaper from Lancaster than Wigan then you just jump on there and take your seat. Something to do with on / off peak ticket classifications, as it passes through Lancaster at X o clock it's off peak, by the time it hits Wigan it's on peak

Cheers. Irrelevant for me I just wondered for others.

 

Makes sense to do it that way doesn't it if cheaper.

You can do it but it's not exactly legal

Wasn't aware that it was illegal

 

You'd assume that your fine getting on at the next stop

 

Then again I'd never think to thumb through the T&C's

Been down London a few times with work recently and each time the ticket has been from piccadilly but ive got on a stockport

 

Asked inspector on way in if ok and he said he wouldn't advise but they don't enforce it - said if there was a problem with the train at piccadilly where they had to re route it or something there'd be nowt I could do like get my ticket changed at stockport

 

But he wasn't arsed, but probably because it doesn't make the ticket cheaper

Boring away this done so many times, so out

 

Great price tho

Haven't actually been Villa since the semi final second leg Alamo game, so in. Need to sort Ipswich before this though

Its probably the most exciting away fixture of the season for me.Biggest club in the division, an old skool ground, day out in a big city, not very far and reasonable chance of a result.

In one.

 

Horrible round the ground & Brum is a shit-hole.

Ipswich is the shittest away I've done

Worse than Norwich?

Both shite

Just seen that villas away pricing is 3 bands £35,30 & 25

Ipswich a whole lot worse than Norwich in all respects. Although I've family in Ipswich so free accommodation for me

A little market town full of Eastern Europeans and farmers.

 

All the pubs have signs "home fans only" yet there's no bouncers on the door or any punters in them.

 

Terrible to get to both by car and train from the north.

 

OUT.

Is there not a train from picadilly that goes direct to Norwich?

 

It's a long journey but at least you can get some supping done

Yes it's the same chugger, normally 3 carriages, that does Sheffield.

 

Takes around 5 hours too, stopping at every market town there is.

 

Unpleasant, especially if you're thinking of doing a day return.

Ipswich, Norwich, Reading and Middlesbrough were 4 I had no intention of going anywhere near no matter when they are. Horrible places

For the top categories last season 12 clubs charged £30 upwards one charging £40.

 

I know we won't fall into the top band for most clubs but the championship has overtaken the premier in terms of away prices now the cap has been brought in

Unpleasant, especially if you're thinking of doing a day return.

And you need a shit at some point

Ipswich is the shittest away I've done

Needs ticking off (so does Norwich) so now's the time.

 

Both come with such glowing reviews on here too!

Worse than Norwich?

just about yes
