so £6 one bus to town and back
£26 for a return to piccadilly which isn't exactly far... (last time i went on it)
however much money on another train to the meet
par example: to get to milton keynes:
Code:
Station Arr Dep Travel by Service Provider
SCUNTHORPE 06:00 Train TRANSPENNINE EXPRESS
DONCASTER 06:38 06:54 Train NATIONAL EXPRESS EAST COAST
LONDON KINGS CROSS 08:41 08:41 Tube*
LONDON EUSTON 09:17 09:17 Train VIRGIN TRAINS
MILTON KEYNES CENTRAL 09:47
the price would be a staggering.......
Code:
STANDARD OPEN SINGLE £106.00
FIRST OPEN SINGLE £159.00
SAVER SINGLE £82.70
and thats only for singles... cos for some reason return is unavailable
so before i've done anything i've forked out £200+ on transport for the day...
and even if i did the bus would probably crash or brakedown(they always do around here
)
or someone would nick the copper from the signals and i'd end up missing a train...
