The outward journey is by train to East Midlands Parkway changing onto a coach for the remaining part of the trip

http://tickets.eastcoast.co.uk/ec/en/JourneyPlanning/MixingDeck
Then the return journey back by train

Going out cost £13 and returning at £24.50 without railcard discounts
At this late stage of booking the prices are not so bad

Just a quick question for future reference as I won't be going to Hull. Are you allowed to drink on megabus coaches?

Not sure about drink, don't try smoking.

C_Jensens_Love_Child

Haha I remember that story.

If there are 4 or more travelling try emailing Corporate and Events at East Midlands trains they did us a deal for yesterday where it cost us 34 quid.

The combo with Megabus worked out alright for Huddersfield last season, but 4 hours 10 looks savage going up there and eats into valuable pub time. Am just gonna say sod it and book a return train a bit later.

Could work out expensive, have a drink on the train to East Midlands parkway, snooze on the coach and have another couple once you get in to Hull

It's my last year with a young person's card, so making the most of it. Just booked for £43, not too bad.

Am looking forward to this one, the only other game I've done oop in tat norff this season has been Burnley.

Jealous, mines ran out this season and I'm missing it (btw, if you are 25 at the mo, on the day before your 26th birthday go and renew your card-they'll give you another full year, that's what I did).

So I'm assuming based on the above the cheapest adult direct fare is £60+. How come there have just been no decent priced train tickets for this one ? Not sure I fancy a four hour coach leg on the way there !

Booked a return for £42

Is that direct with a rail card ? And via which site ?

Mike

Yeah with a railcard mate unfortunately! Eastcoast I bought them on but should be same price most places. 9.48 out I think and 6.30 back

se9addick

Got ya-I miss my rail card !

9.15 from St Pancras by train, only two hours by coach so not too bad

Think I'm going to try the official coach service, any ideas how long it would take to Hull, has an 8am pick up time ?
