I'm thinking train one way and bus the other. I was grumbling earlier about the thought of all that time spent on either an Enviro or Omnicity.(09 May 2014, 8:38 pm)Tom I'll be going there - 0945 685 there, 1707 one back.

(09 May 2014, 8:48 pm)Tom Only reason is a £4.00 return is great value. Maybe the train both ways could be a better option though? I don't mind the Enviros, but let's hope I get 4653 or a Pulsar on the return. Unless I get the 1754 one and change at Hexham onto a GNE bus.

I have a Family and Friends Railcard.
Happy to have people tagging along - £11.50. return for an adult and £3.30 for an under 16.
At this stage, there are no guarantees I will be going, but...

(09 May 2014, 9:08 pm)Dan Crazy fares on the train as soon as you're an adult. I was getting advance child singles for £2 each way last summer.
Sticking to Arriva there and back - free M-Ticket!

(09 May 2014, 9:12 pm)Dan I'd originally considered the train but I wasn't paying crazy fares esp. when I could have bought a North West Explorer and used some of the buses over there too. Obviously the M-Ticket came along and I was pretty much decided on what I was doing!

(09 May 2014, 9:11 pm)aureolin Funny how Omnicities become more comfortable for that length of time when they're free.
