ladysaint Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 Get the 4 for 2 deal which works out at £7.50 each on SW Trains you cant use the Virgin train service though. We are leaving about 11 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintMilesie Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 Having never been there, you could be more helpful. Hi the main away pub is the Three Guinness it is outside the railway station but I rekon it will be packed out,or take a 5 min walk into town to O'Neils or there is a Wetherspoons called Monks Retreat on Friar Street.

Andy_Porter Posted 19 November, 2008 Share Posted 19 November, 2008 Going to get the 10.14 train I think, there are 4 of us so we're just going to do the 4 for 2 deal hopefully. Anyone know how much that works out to for Reading and if they do the 4 for 2 on the day? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how much that works out to for Reading and if they do the 4 for 2 on the day? Cheers 4 for 2 deals are avaialbe on the day, however as Lady Saint states above they are not usable on cross country trains. So you need to use SW Trains up to Basingstoke and change there for locals Basingstoke trains 2 an hour going up (takes just under 30mins) up if you are using that particular deal.

Hunty Posted 20 November, 2008 Share Posted 20 November, 2008 On the 0915 train, just booked it, arriving at 1004! An hour earlier than planned, but using the http://www.nationalexpresseastcoast.com site saved me a bit, 1 adult + 2 kids for £20, two single journeys instead of a return.

I was told to leave after calling the barman a pr*ck for letting me stand waiting with my son for 2 minutes before he said no kids allowed! Ah. Same reason then. One of our party had kids, and we went to the bar and the barman said we couldn't order drinks until we'd all sat down and ordered food, even though they'd found a table for the kids (right in the corner) and the kids were reading the menu. Probably the same idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
