7 of us desperatly need travel for crystal palace and we would be willing to pay 200 quid to anyone that can get us there
good luck!
coz if you can get someone to to provide an 8 seater and take 7 of you to london and back for less than £30 a man let me know who he is.
p.s its on average £130 return to manchester….that shud give you a guide to how much you’re gonna av to pay…..unless you hire one…may get the price down abit
not even close to that much on the train bet you could get trains for under 50 quid ps there is a train direct from wigan to london i get it very often due to work takes just under 2 hours
not even close to that much on the train bet you could get trains for under 50 quid ps there is a train direct from wigan to london i get it very often due to work takes just under 2 hoursdo you travel at midnight sat/sun morning ?
or does someone else pay the bill and you dont know how much it is, because if you dont book weeks in advance its always over 100 quid -flaming heck it was £11.40 for my daughter to go to blackpool on saturday.
no i pay the bill thanks and it costs a fkin fortune to travel back home each weekend to watch wigan. maybe it is i usually travel down south sundays at about 7 and come back thursday or friday at about 5. this is from southampton and its 90 quid, 60 quid with my railcard. i would therefore have expected it to be cheaper than 90 for a return to london.
i would have expected it to be similar but having just looked it up turns out it would be rather difficult to make any train back up north after 10 and also quite costly

If you book in advance and travel off peak then its around £29 a ticket, each way that is.you try and get them – only so many are issued that way – i have bought first class tickets for £40 each way at times, but if you try to book about a week in advance as some are suggesting this lad does to get to palace you are looking at full fare.
ive worked in winchester for the past 9 months and have a house there but often go back to my mum and dads house to stay for the weekend when wigan are playing or playing away somewhere up north.
anything else?ps just 10 days ago i got a ticket for tonight london to wigan for 10 pounds
Wigan to London in under 2 hours :o have they put a French TGV train on or a Japanese Bullet on the Western mainline?.

Wigan to London in under 2 hours :o have they put a French TGV train on or a Japanese Bullet on the Western mainline?. .thats what it takes since they spent about 20 billion on the west coast main line – the 07.10 at wigan nw stops at warrington then straight to euston- arrives at 09.10
crap journey though steve -doesnt pick up at corley services or stop off for a beer in bedworth on the way back !
Nope. Wigan to London (depending on stops) can be 1 hour 58. Quicker if you drink all the way.Would love to see the site that they advertise that journey on Mr Griff…..It’s quite close actually – I’ve seen them boast 2 hours 2 minutes (never sub 2 hours)…….
…..and I would defy ‘any’ rail company to get a passenger from Wigan to London in ‘under’ 140 minutes. Put bluntly…..BR (oh how we hanker after the ol’ days eh?) are just “not getting there”. (I know BR left etc etc blah blah) point is – Mr Nuneaton is quite correct…..
….those who have used the Tey Jey Vey (TGV) in France will understand that ‘one can set their watches by their timetable’ – unlike our system where ‘one cannot set a f0Okin calendar’ by our train timetable.
The Mayans had a better concept of time and order than we do….. roll on 2012
;)
You might be right Micky, thinking about it, but what’s four minutes between friends?
Used to get the TGV from Paris to Marseille regularly. Not always on time, but more often than not they were, and it was ten times the experience of the British trains. Never people stood up in the aisles.
Mind you, they put on that many carriages that you could get on at Paris before it departed, walk through the train and be just outside Lyon before you’ve even left Gare du Nord.
