    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.

    Thanks for the info Dunk.
    As I told you, it led me all the way through the booking process...then told me there were no seats left :evil:

    Cheers anyway. I have seats on that bus booked for £8 a piece, tho it takes a little longer and I would obviously prefer the Jimmy Saville approved route to London town.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    :shock: it appears for you guys booking train tickets is nearly as bad as trying to book gig tickets.

    Dunk I thought you were driving down with Dave? :?
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Dave heard about his tendency for becoming nervous, and thus giving off eggy gas whilst travelling by car.

    yeah, Dave offered me a seat but i thought i'd save him and his poor son the hassle of having me in the back of his car :lol:

    the train is only £8 and takes less time... his offer was very generous and i shall therefore buy him a wee drink that has an umbrella in it..

    Al... Jamie.. what time does your trains get in then? wait on me!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: i'll bring a football... hyde park 3pm ;)

    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?

    Seems like it's a kinda Russian Roulette of train fares over there at Virgin :roll:

    We can't, the cheap fares haven't been applied to our Cov to Manchester journey yet :(
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    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-)
