I can't even find that fare. Did you just look for the walk up fare tomorrow?
I never buy advance fares, due to the requirement of it being X train at Y time, and it being recommended you sit where you get told to do so. I like the freedom of doing what I want, when I want :p
Well then don't complain about the price. Also just because you have a reservation doesn't mean you have to sit in it. If s*** hits the fan your advanced ticket will be valid on whatever service anyway.

I prefer to go to things rather than stay at home because my ticket isn't flexible.

I'd rather die than pay a non-advance fare.

Eus-Pre railcard off peak return: £55
With advance tickets etc: £27.30

Half price!!!

You said it was too expensive, in my book that's a complaint!

That's clearly not the meaning of 'get a room'!

Location is not an issue to me :lol:

So long as I'm free on the day, I'll be there

On a serious note, if you are coming, and plan to use the Subway be sure to sign up for a free smart card while they are... free (will be going to £3 before the year is out rumour says)

Even using it once will save you some money as a day ticket is £2.70 on the smart card, or £4 for a paper ticket!

Anyone up for a subcrawl ?

Never been to Glasgow, so will try to be available for this.

Am going to check out Megabus fares- As much as coaches may be diabolical, they might be an option for those of us on a budget. My trip to last years meet in London cost me a grand total of £20 (beer notwithstanding!), and a large chunk of that was getting an Oystercard!

Choosing the latest Sat available (at this point, 22/03/14) Leeds-Glasgow return is £45.50 :shock:

I'm guessing that's a trip around the Subway, visiting a pub at each station...

Sounds good!

A forced regisration with photo and all. BTW you can order one without using a photo, but it will cost you 3 GBP then already. How much privacy can you afford?

Anyway, here's the link to get one:

Just as an FYI some real bargains can be had on the sleeper to/from London

I managed to get a seated sleeper one way for £27 and a bed for the return for £29

Really can pay to book in advance

Also there is the Roundabout Ticket which is unlimited train and subway travel in the area indicated on this map for the bargain price of £6.30 after 9.00am M-F or all day at weekends!

Used one for the first time yesterday and found myself doing extra little jaunts, because I could :D
