SO...November 1st (lights still on) or 8th?(probably cheaper)

8th is fine for me..........as long as the candy floss still on sale :lol:

8th's good for me!!

I wish I could come but I checked the train company websites and it would cost me a minimum of £142 plus 3 changes to get from North Devon to Blackpool. I'm sure you will all have a great time and I want lots of pictures posted on here!

Thats a point.... how much is it likely to cost us for accommodation?? (I'll have to start saving now)

Dunno will have to check it out my train ticket will be nearly 18 squid and I'm fairly near!

£142 squid how why :( should be law against it.

Can make the 8th. But please don't change the weekend just for me as I am only a maybe will be there maybe no. Depends on the funds and how much I get when I sell Ray - any takers ?

Have no idea how much it will be down from Glasgow, might need to start walking now to make it.

Only kidding about selling Ray, don't think I'd get anything for him.

Oh dear! Never thought about the fare - I'd only thought about the accommodation! Which website do I have to visit to find out about the fare?

www.thetrainline.com you have to register to get how much it costs sometimes on these web sites they come up with stupid routes though so if its a lot of money its probably wrong hopefully!

That was a nasty shock! It takes over four hours to get from here to Blackpool by train and it costs nearly £50 return!

I might see if I can get Kevin to bring me and then go spend the night with his Mum... or hitchhike!

Oh god! A lot of places you can get cheap coach tickets but probably only when the lights are on!

Only in the dark then? Or on a rainy day???

(Excuse me... I'm still reeling from the shock!) I'll work out something... Kevin's Mum lives in Wigan so perhaps Kevin could drive me over to Blackpool and then I stay with you lot and could stay overnight with his Mum and pick me up the next day.

I will have to approach him very carefully... I just spent a most of his overtime money for this month.....

I think TQ and Flumper are staying for the weekend so you could secretly sleep in their wardrobe/bath or something :D

From what Kevin's Mum says, the accommodation is relatively cheap, its the train fares which are a bit of a shock.

I will have to talk very nicely to Kevin... still - plenty of time to save up!
