    We can't, the cheap fares haven't been applied to our Cov to Manchester journey yet :(

    Don't try and book it all at once. You have to book the cheap tickets as and when they come up (returns are always more expensive too :? ) ... I know when I book trips back to Scotland I'm usually booking the return trip a week later than the outbound trip to get the cheapest fares :)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    What day you travelling to Manchester just had a quick look at some fares and it seems to work out quite a bit cheaper to travel to Preston first then Manchester.

    Depends if you want the bother of having to change trains and such.
    Astoria 20/04/06, Leeds 25/08/06, Prague 22/09/06, Wembley 18/06/07,
    Dusseldorf 21/06/07, Manchester 17/08/09, London 18/08/09, LA 06/10/09, LA 07/10/09.

    Ain't gonna be any middle anymore.

    how long does the bus take Jamie?

    i can still get train tickets for 10.35 and 11.15. ... not tried to pay for them right enough... is that when the 'no seats available' message comes up?


    I got em man, it's a weird game they play with those fares....seems you gotta just keep on checking back and trying again and again til the cheapies appear :D


    Now then.....who wants two seats on the 10.30am megabus from Manchester to London ?
    Shall we say a crisp tenner for the two ?? 8-)


    can you no cancel the bus amigo... or is it an advance ticket and they wont refund?
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Its a bloody mad system...but anyway the last main point of issue in the PJ Tour booking process is now complete...Gig tix check....flights check....hotels check.....train tix check...Al is a happy boy :lol:

    The bus is more like 3 1/2 hours I think, I will check.
    There is no refund option on the cheap fares, it's like travel lodge, £19 a room no cancellation, or £79 a room with cancellelation option......it's a no brainer :D

    Yup, I chose to print my own tickets so already know my seat number.

    Not sure if you will have to get the name changed as even though I had to put both names in, the ticket only seems to have my name on it.
