Northern Winter Soiree - 3 December in Hebden

[rich!]

Actually, it was me failing to look at the box on the right. 176 each way

Once the cheaper tickets kick in the return is 242 (e.g. for any weekend in November it seems).

 

[mauvais]

Yeah, that's what I got when I looked.

 

[mauvais]

tangerinedream have you seen this sordid affair and/or are you banned from the 'Pool by some newfangled byelaw?

Oh that sucks

You might find you can get the cheap advance bookings to Leeds or Manchester. There's a direct train from both of those to Blackpool North.

I wish. I'll check my busy social schedule. A half a mild in the North Euston is my ideal scenario.

 

[Shirl]

It was trainline, and yes, split 4 ways. I think there might be an optimum week to buy the tickets on for ideal cheapness... and the big advantage is everyone *has* to travel back on the same train, making it less likely that we'll leave a drunk urb in a corner somewhere

My local station always beat trainline prices when I go to buy tickets. It's worth you going to your nearest station to get a better deal

Favelado - I don't know if you've seen this new thread. You in sunny Blackpool around this time or miserable, cold depressing Madrid?

 

[Favelado]

Ill be in Madrid. Ooooooooooh. Urban in Blackpool and I miss it? Heartbreaking. Ill help out with tips though. Im gutted.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Dovydaitis - here you go.

There are always a few £14.90 singles available to Leeds (and maybe Manc too?)

Glitter - apparently there is a direct train from Halifax too. I'd assumed we'd have to change in Manc but apparently not.

Yeah it goes through Sowerby Bridge *dances*

Although I'm pretty certain I'm supposed to be in Leicester that weekend

Boo! Double check!!

 

[ManchesterBeth]

I'm in

How much is the train?

Or is it cheaper to get the coach.

 

[Shirl]

There's a cheap train that runs from London to Halifax. I think it's run by grand central or something, anyway it's really cheap but you can't book, it's like a bus and you get on. You can then go direct from Halifax by train to Blackpool. You can also go direct leeds to Blackpool.

Can't you please come? It won't be the same without you falling down or making people think that you've peed yourself on the train

 

[Dovydaitis]

I'm up for this if the numbers work

 

[Dovydaitis]

Right train is £63 return so pretty much same price/time as Chester. Although I can get megabus for £30 return to Manchester and nab a kip on my mates sofa. Get into manc for about lunchtime so a quick train nip and sorted.

We could link you up by skype. Prop a phone on the table so you can join us, sort of.

 

[Shirl]

I'm having to pull out of this soiree now Got an offer of a stand at a christmas market here in Hebden and I can't really afford not to do it.
You could all come to Hebden instead of course, I'll be done at the market by 4pm

Hebden is easier to get too, as well.

 

[friedaweed]

I'm in for Hebden and so is my wife to be

 

[farmerbarleymow]

What about neonwilderness? Can we ever lure him away from the frozen Far North?

 

[Fez909]

Hebden good for me

Hebden is easier to get to than Blackpool (well I assume it is, I haven't actually checked)

It doesn't look too bad.

Some random times:

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Bought your train tickets yet neonwilderness?

We all think you should book them now so you're committed to coming along for a drunken day in the wilds of Yorkshire.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

For anyone coming along who hasn't met Shirl they could play the mystery shopper from hell at her market stall. See if we can wind her up.
