I’d avoid the train line. I normally use the following

Or else donit through virgin. I’d be booking them now to get the best price.

You’d want your head examined getting on public transport in the UK at the moment.

Book now if you’re booking a train. Thetrainline.com is probably the handiest. Fix your journeys and travel off peak. Fixing the train time is a bit risky because if you miss it on the day you’ll be bent over for a new ticket.
I’d imagine it will change in Bristol.
Watch out for the overall journey times when looking at the options.
Virgin rail are cunts, but efficient enough.
I’d avoid the bus if at all possible.

Would you not just spin down, collect him and drop him FFS

Much as I like the idea I’d spend half the money and bring the missus on this one

Is that the luxury train journey that overnights in Charleville? (I haven’t read the article)

It is. Some cod

Could just wait til there’s a quarter inch of snow and buy an ordinary ticket if getting stuck on a train overnight in some rural shithole like charleville is your thing.

On the way to Belfast. I would normally drive but with the @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy constant pitter patter about public transport I decided to get the train.

In fairness, you can’t drink cans or listen to this in the car….

They are still using those carriages on the Limerick to Limerick Junction line

That twitter account is the best thing on Twitter in my opinion. He puts up great stuff.

The original was better.

La Ciotat is a lovely little spot.

The train is such a lovely means of travel. The earlier the better, watching towns at various stages of waking up. It’s like a big moving reality TV.
