just completed the sorting out for the anniversary games.. tickets for games bought months ago.. thanks to the STW help we found a hotel less than 2k from the stadium
just last night though we did the travel arrangements..
the aa calculate that by car the journey is 4.5 hrs and a 82 quid cost in diesel. add in congestion charging and off street parking for three days and the figure is close to 200 quid..
so how much to get 5 folk ( 3 adults- 2 kids) on the train?
we live 200 yds from a station on the transpennine route..
so from there to kings x its a 3 hour journey via leeds. 30 mins longer via manchester and we have to walk to change trains
first quoted price 470 all in.. next website national rail line quotes 270 for same tickets.. that sounds like the one so ‘buy now’ and bingo!
transfers to east coast page and price is now only 169.. RESULT.. pennines to kings X and return for 5 at less than travelling by car and its an hour quicker and i dont have to drive..
