Take your word for it.though I don't understand why people wouldn't book transpennine - thought it was cheaper as much as anything else!
Think the trains on Saturday will be pretty chocka - Bank Holiday weekend then stick thousands of us on the trains last minute
We’ve got seats
For the Checkatrade I drove to Donny, got the Grand Central Sunday morning that started in Bradford. No stops and everyone was sat all the way down. Same on the way back 9.the Monday. I had a reserved seat both ways.
This time I'm getting the LNER from Wakefield as I was worried Donny would get to the final. Booked seats, train starts in Leeds and only 2 or 3 stops until London.
People need to wise up, think outside the box as the trains will be shite again from up here.
Even with the price of petrol to drive down and parking fees I'm still saving about £70 on the price of the train too.
If its the 8.38 out of Durham I'll sit on your edge
can you do that on board?Go in 1st class, £25 for the upgrade.
I'm a bloody idiot! Transpennine - the clues in the name i suppose! Just remembered they all go to ManchesterYeah but it doesn't get you to London! 99% of people when booking tickets will just put in from Sunderland to London Kings Cross in the booking engine - the only way it'll get you booked on a TPE/XC is if you specify via/changing at Leeds/York/Doncaster/Sheffield.
Yep, go to a seat that's unreserved and sit in it. Ask to upgrade when you show your ticket.can you do that on board?
can you do that on board?
Took the bus last time, hearing about everyone being crammed on the train made me decide to take the car this time, should be a nice stress free trip!
Don't have seats reserved this time but can't imagine it'll be much of an issue other than when we're coming back from KX.
Where'd you hear this? All the seats were taken but there was barely anyone in the aisles (I didn't see any on our train but I'm assuming some were on one of them).
I would expect to not have a, seat, if you get one it's a bonus. My mates went for 2 days last time, I only went for 1. They got on at Newcastle and half of them stood all the way there on the Saturday and half of them stood all the way back on the Monday.
I booked a bit later as I had to sort a ticket for my son. It was coming up £140 each with no seat. f***ing no chance of me paying that to stand hence driving to Yorkshire. The train from Donny was only £41 each! A complete no brainer...
Ooof, cutting it fine aren't ya!Bit later mate - 11.42 I think it is
You'll still be standing from Doncaster? Obviously for less time though..I would expect to not have a, seat, if you get one it's a bonus. My mates went for 2 days last time, I only went for 1.
