Good to see LNER's 'Trial' getting rid of off peak and introducing nonsense flex fares, has really brought down the price of train travel for everyone looking to travel with 3 weeks advance notice...
This is just ridiculous. Travelling in this country is just utter BSWho's flying up?
Those cheap Easyjet flights for a weekend away have shot up to £180 via Belfast.

All set up for United in the final...
That’s the spirit
I would add to the originating comments here (yes Jack its good to see prices lowering) that the pricing structure is over complicated and the fact you can break up journeys buy multiple tickets etc and pay less is just an example of how broken the system is. The railways need government intervention and I cant see the looney tunes liebour government stepping up (Not that others in past have either). Its remarkable so many football fans find ways and struggle doing so to see their teams play away. We have a remarkable away following. I applaud you all. I believe we are in the top 5 in PL maybe someone knows the stats here better than me?
Massively sarcastic in my original comment here btw. The prices are a disgrace. Labour are actually making good progress on this, but it isn't in the news much!
Probably not public information! Will likely all come with GBR when that comes in.
5th round games are all apparently Sat/sun
Btn - Sunderland £180 rtn with the Metro £5 rtn. Again Fri to Mon
Totally agree.
£78.00.
£78 on their website….imagine it’d be around 9 hours or so
The BBC TV graphic after the draw said ties will be played between 28th February and 3rd March.
Well, that’s technically correct I guess as only the 1 & 2 are between those dates, but an odd way to describe it
