marc_saint Posted 24 February, 2010 Share Posted 24 February, 2010 As usual I've not managed to get my backside into gear and sort out travel to Wembley next month. At the moment, the train from Swindon to London for the JPT is £34.30 inclusive of tube. Now.... I've had a quote for a stretch limo that comes in at £43.75 each if we fill it with 8 people. I know its a little more money than the train but i quite fancy this and i thought it could be quite a laugh. We can take beer with us and not get crammed on the tube before and after the game. Anybody do it for the final in Cardiff? There are currently four of us, so we are after four more. Anyone in the North Wilts area fancy it?

bristolsaint29 Posted 24 February, 2010 Share Posted 24 February, 2010 i did it for a playoff final watching Brighton about 8 yrs ago, cracking day out and home really quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 24 February, 2010 Share Posted 24 February, 2010 Wouldn't you rather go into central London on the lash after the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_saint Posted 24 February, 2010 Author Share Posted 24 February, 2010 Normally yes, but my 16 year old lad will be with us and also the wife is off ghost hunting the previous night (long story!) and will only have had about four hours sleep on the sunday morning so she wouldn't be up for a beer up in London. So it'll be back to my local for a beer or seven after the game. (And there will be copious amounts of beer in the fridge in the limo anyway! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their limo broke down on the Severn Bridge, when we drove past, the whole mini bus was hanging out the windows laughing at them. I'm sure they enjoyed the whole experience.

SFKA South Woodford Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 For those travelling by train from west of Didcot, providing you have a network railcard, you can split your fare by getting returns from your local station to Didcot and then getting a ticket from Didcot to London which includes a tube travelcard. You should be able to buy both tickets from your local station, and should save you the price of a few beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sold To The Man @ The Bar Posted 26 February, 2010 Share Posted 26 February, 2010 The train that leaves Swindon at 8:26 calls at Didcot, Reading and arrives at London Paddington 9:40. Leaves time to get accross London, have a couple of beers then get to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
