That was £100 for two £50 first class singles, from traintimes.org.uk.
Was expecting it to be closer to £70 total, but meh, it'd cost less than £20 in petrol (I think?) and I want to be able to drive that far, it'll just be a bit daunting the first time.

You can have a YPR at 25, but you have to renew it before you're 25, and I forgot to so mine expired in May.

I'd guess up to 30 each way for petrol.

Really?

Hmmm. 500 miles / 47mpg = 10 gallons = 45 litres @ 90p = £40.

Bah, petrol is too expensive. :(

Well I'm not surprised at the cost for a pair of first class singles.

 

I've just done a search on there for Croydon to York on Saturday and York to Croydon on Sunday. Standard class, no railcard and £21 each way for a total ticket price of £42.

 

Now book your tickets and get your arse along :)

Hmmmm.

 

I could possibly make it but i'd have to travel by coach (26.50 return), stay overnight, and possibly be the only sober person apart from PB because of money shortage.

 

So put me down as a maybe.........

Yeah, because people who have little money at Northern meats never end up drunk.

No, you could not. Let's not make it 10 drinks you owe me instead of 5.

Although let's face it, a meat isn't really a meat without beer and curry is it now.

I'd personally be hesitant about going for a curry in York. It isn't Bradford. I think in the past we've eaten at the Lendal Cellars, although according to some reviews on there it now "smells bad".

Oh dear there'll be eating of curries?

 

Sadly I was born with no ability to handle spices and as a result, when eating a curry, sweat bullets and shake whilst drinking gallons of water.

 

I'll start building myself up now...

Mouse is a curry snob so we probably won't be having any curry in York.

 

Bradford has spoilt him.

I will be there, and happy to act as Scortesh->English translator type chappie.

 

Have we decided on a date yet?

Thank goodness for that, 20th of October, York.
