ladysaint Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Last season quite a few of us managed to get a very good deal on the train for this one. I have been looking but havent found anything cheap enough but understand all the cheap fares for November and December have been released today. If anyone finds anything on offer can they post it.
stevegrant Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Looks like it's impossible to get back that night due to engineering works. £14 for the single fare from Euston to Carlisle, but fairly pointless if you can't get back again. £46 is the cheapest single fare for the journey back on the Sunday.
Viking Warrior Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Im looking forward to the Carlisle game. its a home game for me. only 350 miles to travel (700 return)

Really? Crap.
dickyhale Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Went last year maybe drive again this year.....Have the weekend in Blackpool with Rolly
Chap in the Chapel Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Drove there and back in a day last season. About 12 hours on the road, made worthwhile by an unmissable 96th-minute header from Jaidi after Carlisle's 'keeper Pidgeley made his only mistake of the afternoon. God, he got some stick at the final whistle... It's an easy drive though if you can cope with the mileage. The ground's easy to find and there are some decent city centre pubs - stay away from The Beehive near the ground though as away fans aren't welcome.
Saint_Jonny Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Flat mate is a closet carlisle fan so im going up to this one. knocked 250 miles off the trip given my current location so not too bad.
Sour Mash Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 It is possible to get back, but a fair bit of hassle with lots of changes. Making a few days of it instead. Was a good trip last time, wonder how many will make it up this year.
Appy Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Don't think i'm going to be able to make it with the hassle of trains and having work the next day.
kpturner Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Did I mention that we got home in 3 hours 53 minutes last season? (cue abuse from the forum traffic police )
dickyhale Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Maybe go and see this on the way home aswell (forget Blackpool) David Haye vs Harrison 13th November 2010 at MEN Arena
Big Dick Last Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 A load of us are staying up there. The Ibis is £35 a night if you book 30 days in advance.
JustMike Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 I am supposed to be driving up saturday morning, staying over in the premier inn near the ground, drive back sunday. I may have spare seats in car if anyone fancies it
Iowsaintsfan Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 Staying in Blackpool the weekend again like last year going up friday night back Monday be good to know if anyone else is going to do the same - Can not wait! COYR!
La BoIS Saint Posted 5 October, 2010 Posted 5 October, 2010 A load of us are staying up there. The Ibis is £35 a night if you book 30 days in advance. Big ****, just got back from Stockholm. Saw Hammarby v Syrianska and Djurgårdans v AIK. Quality stuff, second game was rocking. Missing Carlisle to work at Woking beer fest. £100 outlay v free beer = no brainer!
woodsaint Posted 6 October, 2010 Posted 6 October, 2010 Yes im going again, last year was a great day!! All the saints fans rushing down when jaidi equalised, and jaidi holding like 6 players up when they jumped on him lol. Travelling over from Belfast for a long weekend in Newcastle with a aloada mates, will get the train up on the day, hopefully no works on this line.
Doctoroncall Posted 6 October, 2010 Posted 6 October, 2010 Looks like it's impossible to get back that night due to engineering works. £14 for the single fare from Euston to Carlisle, but fairly pointless if you can't get back again. £46 is the cheapest single fare for the journey back on the Sunday. There is the 8:15 from Southampton Central which arrives in to Carlisle at 14:01 (change at Birmingham) and the last return of the day at 17:33 arrives back at 23:43 (Change at Preston and Wolves). But that's £122!
