Uplink – Interesting challenge
Depart darlington 07.06 arrive Guilford 11.24
Next day depart Guildford 16.05 arrive Darlington 20.36
Price – be organised and book ahead £110
Turn up on the day £205
Can you drive it in 4 1/2 hrs? Have you remembered the cost of your parking in the price? Is £75 quid realistic? If you have a new car dealer serviced then its nearer double your fuel cost to get your total cost including everything.
AA routeplanner says 267 miles in 4 hrs 34 mins
RAC car cost comparison for a 1800cc repmobile says 52 p per mile total cost ( new car costing £14000 , dealer serviced. kept for 3 yrs, depreciation, servicing and and comprehensive insurance included annual mileage 12000)
that makes it £227 to drive total cost- gulp!
How close do you live to the station? Add a £20 taxi each end changes it somewhat.
