Middlesbrough advance purchase train tickets

in Match Day Travel
This is going to be expensive.

East Coast have released tickets and the cheapest will cost £54 return before any railcard discounts.

However, there is an 8.11 to York and a 19.02 back from York at £27.20 return, after this a return from York to Middlesbrough costs £13, this can be booked on the day. Both prices are before a railcard discount

    You MUST get the 17.26 back from Middlesbrough, no other train as the York to Middlesbrough portion does not allow you to travel via Darlington

    You'll comfortably get the 17.26 but it is a brisk 15 minutes from the train station. Under the railway bridge, take the next right then carry on walking.

    Okay, I got an open return from Forest on 6 December so if go to Boro I might do the same - but might be more expensive.

    An open return will cost you something in the region of £100, of that I can promise you

    Yeah it was 50 something to Nottingham. As it is now a return with set times to Boro is 56 quid.

    Go on the national rail enquiries site and key in the 7th Feb and you will get an idea, and then have a rethink about booking now!

    One more question - why does the return have to be through Darlington? Or does it?
  • Options
    centurioncenturion
    Ignore that - I get it now.

    Just booked a return for 58 quid - as cheap as Nottingham.

    In fact a train journey to Middlesbrough costs the same as an away ticket for Forest.

    Ticket for Forest is £28 for an adult, bit confused.

    Definitely Boro, the day before I got back from Brasil and was a bit jet lagged up at The Riverside. The f***** certainly woke me up with his performance there.

    Was chatting a guy I used to work with who is from Middlesbrough and he reckons the station is a good half hour walk considering the size of the after match crowd and traffic and so on. I got lost in the dark at Reading and Forest so bringing a torch to this one and a map!
