I'd love to, but doyo realise the cost?
Quote:
So did a random check for people in other locations such as Birmingham, the number of train miles are about the same so advance train tickets are only about £5 cheaper. Then of course there's the driving time, plus journey home time, so sensibly, pick up car mid late afternoon, drive into the night, stop for nap, deliver next morning and have another nap on the train home. Looked costly at first but then again, your cost of travel to pick up car plus, loss of days pay would probably work out about the same. Luckily I have Green Flag any car cover that in the unfortunate event of a breakdown covers me for cost of taking to destination (Fife) So if you get stuck PM me and by the way, I too am retired so flexible re-dates. |

That is cheaper than I expected, its not third class is it . So the question has to be asked, is this a go'er and when?

The ad reads like its a good one and it looks like a very clean example and some way to go to run it in yet.

Third class, no such thing!
Quote:
The prices I quoted were based on a combination of 1st class where available and standard class when not. This was using a combination of Railcard discount and advance booking. I was not being extravagant, just if you know the ropes this system gives 1st class wherever possible for less than usual standard class. Train companies use reverse bucket prices to airlines, in other words sell enough cheap tickets in advance to cover the journey cost, then only sell full price tickets to ensure a profit. |

If I'd spotted this sooner I'd have volunteered Ian, I have the added advantage in that I get free rail travel!! I did 27 years in the rail industry and as a result retain my free rail travel for life!

May take you up on that, yet, Steve, if your offer stands - lets see how things pan out - it would be nice to meet another local member too
