Jackie - surely someone from either your way can give you a lift, or pick you up from a stop somewhere nearer.....�60 return is madness for Grapestock....

**SarzWix** · 16-06-2010, 07:00 PM

Ouch Jackie! That's a lot isn't it? I can't help you with a lift obviously, being here already, but if you get to Keighley I'll pick you up from there.

If you move to Essex, you can come with us!

Thanks folks but it would cost nearly as much in petrol. lol
I would be willing to meet up with someone who is going and share costs, but I dont think anyone near to me is going. Its not so much the cost but the time lol if I come by train which cuts the journey time by half it would cost over �100.
If any one is willing to give me a lift part way that would be great.
Every time I look at fares and times its different.

Awww sorry jackie. As you know we are in leeds so no good really plus with 2 kids wouldnt have room in car. really sorry

**jackie j** · 17-06-2010, 08:01 AM

I will get there by hook or by crook, If I start walking now I might just get there in time lol.

**SarzWix** · 17-06-2010, 08:34 AM

I've searched, and found train tickets for �44.00 each way, so a total of �88. Bit better than �163.00, but still

If you want to look, it's on trainline: buy cheap train tickets, get UK train times & fares - book seats online and I've searched for journeys between Exeter St. Davids and Keighley, departing 27th August. The cheapest fare is for the one that departs Exeter at 12.23

Thanks sarz but the coach is a bit cheaper at �65 ish will keep looking cos cant afford to book till either begining of July or begining of August, dont want to book just yet.

Crikey - I think you might just win the medal for dedication to the cause!

Unfortunately you're the wrong side of the country for us. �65 ish sounds reasonable. It's going to cost is near that in diesel I think, plus you can have a snooze.

Googlemaps puts us down for a 3 & 1/2 hour drive.

Feel free to slap me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing you're too....experienced?... for a Young Person's Railcard and too young and spritely for an OAP Railcard?

Got it in one lol not so young though, but yes too young for an oap.

If I were to drive which I wont it would take between 5 and 6 hours without stopping.

How about flying - a bit posh sounding I know but I've looked at flybe who go from Exeter and they have flights to leeds quite cheap. You might be able to get a last minute flight on there.

Also, there might be a code or whatever on this site that might help drop your ticket price.
