ScotsRik Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Train ticket sale now open for the day of the game if it is any good to anyone - I think they opened yesterday. Can make a big difference getting in fairly early - return tickets won't be available for a while as the six months only applies to weekday travel.

scottincarlisle Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 12 weeks before is when you can get the real cheap advance singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsRik Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Not any more - they are open six months ahead now.....the weekends are still 12 weeks'ish. If that's what you mean, then excuse me!! That is if the journey is London and North of York. So the Friday one is open and the Saturday one isn't (on Virgin anyway).....although you can get full fare tickets as mentioned by Langtonian. Early birds can get Edi-Lon return for £50 minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langtonian Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Here's hoping there's nae cancellation of trains like the last time leaving the option trying to get on the next overcrowded train or of a bus to Carlisle then train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also booked first class on the 0752 - tried to get the earlier one but no seats left. Only 7 hours to London which is pretty good and probably similar to a flight once you add travel to airport waiting taxiing, travel into London etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caledonian1 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 2 minutes ago, deecie said: Maybe if you're flying from New York. Not a lot in it really. 8am flight probably leave the house at back of 6am. Land in London at 9:30 and possibly make central London by 11am assuming no delays. So quite likely 5 hours at least. Would find 7 hours in first class a far less stressful journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Maybe if you lived in one train station and your hotel was in the other. Flying you can make it door-to-door in 4 hours, which is comparable to the train from the central belt, but not from Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
