The Train Deal

[jordanseagull]

So is colchester on a southern line? i.e can we use the 4 train tickets for £20 to colchester, as we did to MK Dons?

 

[clippedgull]

No it's not on a Southern line.

However you can do Groupsave 4, where 4 people can travel for the price of 2. Cost should be about £19 each.

However the flaw with these, when mentioned on NSC, is that people seem to struggle to find 4 people they know in real life to make this deal worthwhile.

there are engineering works too wory about too.....

 

[Mr Blobby]

Yes nice replacment buses for part of the journey!

Various routes can cut down the time on a bus by spending longer on the Underground.

3 hour journey from Three Bridges to Colchester.

I think you need to get a map out and use the Trains more regularly.

why does he? if you dont use trains that regularly you could be excused for asking whether milton keynes and colchester were both in the 'southern ' area couldnt you.

You can take a national express coach from Brighton to colchester for only £23.00, only problem is it departs at 0815 and arrives at 1340! 5 hours and 25 minutes!

[blue and white army]

I could and am! (probably)

 

[patchamalbion]

I could and am! (probably)

why? have you got a railcard? it would be a pound more and 2 and a half hours less time? unless you got a cheaper deal.sounds like a mission

 

[dougdeep]

£21 on the Costa Express.

4 of us did it to Leeds. Not a fun journey at all but hardly cost us anything.

Sounds horrific.

yeah i can understand if your skint and book in advance,could be a laugh,you can get coaches from london from £1 to basically anywhere so its an option.but if you have the option of paying a pound more on train you probably take it.

Yeah would agree with that, like you say it only cost us a £1 to get up there. Think we got Brighton to Leeds and back for something like £17.

 

[murraymints4brighton]

Sounds horrific.

It is. i never used to enjoy those rides and stopped going when i found up to go to some game, possibly QPR and an angry man answered the phone and claimed Liz has a life and isnt a coach service, so i thought f*** it the ride isnt perfect anyway.
