    Is it wrong to be jealous of a 9 yr old? :x

    Lucky so-n-so :roll: :lol::mrgreen:

    I think there are quite a few of us who are jealous. It was all over the London news this morning. Apparently stayed in character for the kiddies.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    me soooo mad!!!

    every single train from Manchester to Lockerbie in December right up until the 24th is about £8.... the one day that isnt £8 is the 12th December... the one day i need to travel and its £44!!!!!

    I've been looking from the day they were released some 3 or 4 weeks ago and that entire day has never had a cheap advance single fare... always £44... so i phone them and the Indian call centre guy tells me that they have "all sold out sir" ... how? how? how can they all be sold out for that one specific day for all 8 trains that day?

    "i can assure you sir they have all been sold out"

    i dont believe that... so i asked that he provide me with number of tickets sold for that day under the Freedom of Information Act... he didnt even reply... probably cos he lives in Delhi and has no fucking idea what the Freedom of Information Act even is..

    fucking Megabus it is then!

    :mrgreen:

    The cheap ones were probably never available. Happened to me once when I was booking Brussels - the morning they went on sale, no cheap ones - and it wasn't even one of those busy days...

    Must think about booking tix for Brussels for Christmas time (well, just after X-mas) ... hate to think of the cost!

    I got caught with the x-mas and new year ones ... had the e-mail alert set up but it arrived first thing in the morning and I didn't check my e-mails until lunch time that day (ggggrrrr would normally have checked earlyish) ... so of course by the time I checked it was £65 return rather than £24 bboooooooooooooooooooooooo

    Dunk I just checked on http://www.eastcoast.co.uk (I book all my trains through that site) ... and it is showing me £8 unless I'm doing something wrong ... Manc - Lockerbie 12 Dec right? It's showing 1st class for £14.50

    Are you after a particular station in Manchester ... 'cause I put 'Manchester stations'

    Going 1st class then ;) (or would that ruin the Scots' reputation) ... one last check before resorting to Megabus was worth it :P

    no chance.. thats nearly double the price!!! and last time I went 1st class the buffet cart was not on due to staff shortages .. so i basically paid £14 extra to London to get a seat that had a wee cool light on the table!

    I was only going to book Megabus or National Express the day before I was leaving... I knew there was something up with the train site... :lol:

    Hahahaha... gawd Dunk would LOVE to see you in a mankini!

    I'll be in Loud alright, but I'll be heading back to Dublin straight after it, maybe meet up with some folks in a pub somewhere. It'll be a horribly sober Saturday night for me but it's needed!

    I was awake at 8am, but I forced myself to go back to sleep for another hour or two cos I can't be awake that early on a Saturday!

    Hope you all have a good weekend! Pip, Sian, Hellsbells... enjoy your wedding stuff 8-)
