Re: Bournemouth Away - Train Costs

Another of my bug bears this. Trainline advertise cheap tickets but don't split journeys which can often be cheaper. It can be.done as there is a football away supporters website that does it.

Re: Bournemouth Away - Train Costs

I live in Swansea. Usually impossible to get cheaper tickets between manchester and swansea by splitting. You could try one down to Bristol Parkway and change there. That's a different tramline than the Manchester to Swansea route. Also try splitting at Cheltenham Spa. Note - sometimes Bristol to S...

Re: Bournemouth Away - Train Costs

I dare you to risk it and book your train now. No way, a lot of people came unstuck with the Spurs game and nothing to do with Sky. Don't mind if its Friday night or any time Saturday, but Sunday would require a change of plan. As it's not looking like a relegation battle we will probably be ok but...

Re: Bournemouth Away - Train Costs

Yes, it often pays to split journeys up. I've been looking at trains to Swansea. Over 4 hours from Manchester and £46 each with our railcards. Much dearer than London. Not booking till Sky announce the televised fixtures though.

Just downloaded from Amazon and read the first few letters. Excellent. Passing link on to my son. He'll love it.

I like the idea. A lot of teams are playing this format and we have the players to adapt to this system.

Re: Vilnius, Lithuania

Fabulous country. Agree about the KGB museum. The Hill of Crosses is pretty impressive too. There's a castle not too far from Vilnius too. We flew to Kaunus, drove round Lithuania, drove up to Riga, then bus to Estonia and flew home from Tallin. Very easy to do and lots to see.
