Cheap travel tips?

Joking btw

[willswitchengage]

I've used blablarcar.com and it's great

[doobietoo]

as it had an mot on dec 15th and failed on corrosion issues can you book another one 300 miles away a month later????

[hairnet]

Coach takes FUCKING ages and seemingly makes about fifty stops. Desperately checking your location on your phone will show you've travelled 15 miles in three hours. There's a reason it's cheap. Go by train!!

get down to manc

 

megabus to brizzle stops in brum and uwe then colston hall

 

exeter takes another hour and half and another two stops

 

i was almost going to bristol on sunday you coulda tagged a lift :/

 

fly

 

train for 120 quid??? its 300 miles ffs

 

if you train try and do it at least 3 weeks in advance - splitting is no good unless its a popular route

I bought a Hoover turbopower from Redruth. It was nice...

[twosmoke300]

Redruth ? Are you mental ?

[beko1987]

Were on holiday in Newquay at the time...

Looks like best way will be to drive to London as planned. Then train from London to Cornwall. Fill up with cream and then drive back to London town and stash car in London to be collected in the not too distant future. Eat cream

Hide yourself in someone's car boot like one of those crazee 'migrants' I keep reading about.

[SiC]

What about car hire with a return destination at your intended destination?

[hairnet]

train to brizzle 46 quid

 

traint to redruth from there 46 quid

 

end of jan

 

simple

 

they dont do flights to plymouth anymore and train to redruth woulda been a tenner

Easily* persuade one of the Devon gang to buy my 306 diesel, deliver it for them and drive your car back?

You're selling a 306 diesel? I'm in Devon looking for an XUD...

 

Lols not really, I'm broke... Notlols

[Coprolalia]

Also, 'druth is grim (sorry twosmoke).

If you can get somewhere else in Devon cheap I have to go to St Agnes to pick a surfboard up and could drop you off?

[The Moog]

Think I have got it sorted thanks to Phil.

 

I was seriously toying with metro until missus Moog was informed of plan. Then I got a look and lots of sensible* reasons why not.

 

It's reached heady heights of £72 now

[lovejoy]

Hmm,  going to REDRUTH ???   be careful what you wish for ....    !!

 

(sorry Phil     )

[twosmoke300]

"Paintwork on bonnet (lived in Devon and too many Gulls poohed on it!)"

 

It's 72 shnib now though

[andrew e]

Probably too late, but take 1C99 off Paddington just before midnight down to Cornwall - £97 on the sleeper.
