IainMorton Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 No planes flying in October then?? Knew someone would bring that up I am pretty sure they are, but I choose to use the other two options through personal choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 They quite clearly aren't selling Advance rail tickets yet, as it simply will not cost £100+ for a rail journey booked four months in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Going down to London in October and have two options on how to travel down - Train, £126, takes 4 and a half hours Bus, £36, takes 10 and a half hours. What to do, what to do?! I did that before but left from stirling and it was 7.5 hours. I remember sitting on the bus saying to myself this is comfy as. 2 hours later i was squirming like a cut in half worm begging for the driver to stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WullieBroonIsGod Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Train, every time. In fact if you can get a good price for first class go for that. Advance bookings can be competitive price wise. Superbreaks do excellent hotel and train deals if you are needing accommodation too. Might be limited to stations on the east coast mainline though? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nkomo-A-Gogo Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 It's the 10 and half hours going back that's the killer. I stupidly went down to london for the day trip and got the bus back that night. It was horrible. was in london for less than 3 hours.We walked a past a drug addled Jason Donovan in Bayswater though, which for a boy who's only previous brush with fame had been seeing Tom Conti filling up his Jaguar at Chartershall services was mind-blowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Weekdays from Glasgow, use the Megabus rail tickets from Glasgow to Birmingham New Street (as low as £3), then get an advance from New Street to London.

The Naitch Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah, the advance fares will be up shortly for October journeys. You'll easily get £21 single fares at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Lovely story http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2377555/Feyenoord-fans-banner-tribute-terminally-ill-fan.html A terminally ill Feyenoord fan was given the greatest surprise of his life when he turned up to watch his side being put through their paces ahead of the new season. Fans of the Dutch side traditionally turn up in numbers to watch the club's first pre-season training session, but this time there was a difference. Lifelong fan Rooie Marck was told he had terminal cancer and had days to live, and his dying wish was to see Feyenoord again. His friends brought him to the training session in his bed, but little did he know that the huge crowd would be chanting his name, lighting flares and unleashing a huge banner of him. In floods of tears, Rooie met his heroes before being helped to meet the crowd, who were singing 'You'll Never Walk Alone.' Tragically, Rooie died just three days after this footage was taken at Feyenoord's first pre-season training session a couple of weeks ago. But the club and its fans certainly left him with a special memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
