TT Meet 2014 - Glasgow - 7th June 2014

[Ameecher]

£101 for a return from my local station, think I may have to skip this one

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

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.

Well then don't complain about the price.

...Yeah, I didn't complain?

[Chris]

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

[Dave]

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!!!

[Ameecher]

Well then don't complain about the price.

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

[Hyronymus]

Get a room, guys. Just say you (intent to) come or not.

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

Please, inform me where I said this?

[Hyronymus]

Yes, I'm perfectly aware of that.

Make love, not war.

Ooooo he says that to everyone

Sent from Hyronumus' iPad.... in his bedroom (I feel so foolish)

I have an iPad ?

[Ploes]

Location is not an issue to me

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 ?

A what now?

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

Anyone up for a subcrawl ?

A what now?

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?

Bah! I move south to Crewe, centre of the railway world, and you pick Glasgow?

[Dave]

You willingly moved to Crewe!?

[Ploes]

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

Tsk, we had a meet in Crewe two years ago!

[Ploes]

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
