Train tickets to Preston

[Brimmermusic]

I see someone on here say they found a return ticket to Preston for £20; does anybody know about this?

I booked mine a couple of weeks back, it was £20 return from London (with a Railcard, so £30 without).

Paid £50 return from London. That was for two adults one with a railcard. Will worry about the rest of the journey up to London on the day.

And then Sky come knocking...

Partly why I have only committed to two thirds of the journey.

Reasonably safe, Sky've announced that weekends coverage. Birmingham 3rd, borough 4th, Burnley 5th

Took the gamble this weekend and got a good deal on a hotel near Blackburn but no refund if cancelled. You can get good deals in advance on trains but thanks to Sky and armchair supporters it is a gamble. I know it's not allowed, but why not show a game live on Saturday afternoon at 3.00 the only people interested are supporters of the clubs involved the same as now on a Monday night or whatever. Arsenal Spurs on a Saturday afternoon at 3.00 live on TV won't stop me being at the Amex.

Long story but when we played Blackpool a couple of years ago, we took the train to Preston. Bloody chaos on the train at Euston as a group of about 20 Northern muppets returning from a break in London took the reserved seats in our carriage by mistake.
In the ensuing mayhem trying to ship them out with their luggage, I dropped and lost our return tickets. Nobody handed them in so had to buy two singles to get back to London. Was not happy.
Think I will give this match a miss!!!

I mentioned in another thread that its getting quite an art to pick potential televised games. I was confident in booking Preston away advanced train tickets a few weeks ago when I compared that day's fixtures but I would not have predicted sky choosing the Reading home match so you can never be sure.

if they've chosen Reading match on TV a week later surely Preston won't be on now? I know we've had a lot of games on but preston away has such a small chance of being on. Booked my trains and looking forward to this one - new ground for a fair few I'd imagine

£22.00 return from London with a railcard

Get into Preston at 11.45 I think

Looking forward to it.

What railcard are you guys talking about? I'e got a Network railcard but that's no good for the north.

Young persons railcard, 18-25

Cost without a railcard was £35.00 return.

The YP Railcard. The one I have very distant memories of owning...

Ah, those were the days!

2 together railcards are the way forward - if you can find a regular partner to watch Albion with.

Two together pays for itself in one journey usually, especially the longer distance ones. The cheaper train tickets seem to be getting snapped up quick for Preston

 

[ForestRowSeagull]

On the 07:30 out of Euston and getting the 17:58 back. Total cost £21

So distant for me it was the Student Railcard!
