My missus just catches more fish than me, and she has caught the biggest too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 @Clive, costing me 55€ to do a one way trip that would have been 500km in a motoway, in first class, which isn’t really first class. Taking way longer, and a half hour stop to change trains in Lisbon, but I don’t think I can really complain about the price. I don’t get the thing about trains, but then again some people don’t get the thing about bikes either so there you go. Took care of a british dog while he patiently sat next to me while his human went to the wc, that put a smile on my face. After 5 and half hours wearing a mask, I took to the restaurant wagon for an expresso at sunset as an excuse for a breather 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you just turn up on the day, they are expensive. Costs about £80 from Nottingham to London, on a one way ticket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up driving into London eventually and took the train from the local station. £40 return plus £6 to park the car at the station, but at least I could bung it on expenses. 50 minutes by train or 2.5hrs by car, so that was a win in my book! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that £40 + parking every day @Tango?.........if so, it's a wedge out of someone's pocket......but eh, they are on great money darn sarf i cannot remember the last time I travelled by car into central London......never had any need or desire to since....been around it on the M25 more times than I care to remember........that was close enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few installations in London where I was travelling down every day for a couple of weeks, but otherwise it was just for the occasional visit to help out the London engineers. My usual patch was the A14 corridor plus Peterborough and Northampton. I had a lot of kit in Ipswich, so I spent quite a bit of time travelling to and from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
