So the earlier you book, the cheaper it is, eh? Not on today’s evidence.
We want some tickets to Darlington three months from today, so we marked the calendar to book them right now, the first day they went on sale. And you know what the price for just getting there is? £199 for the two of us.
£199!
Pay the same on the way back and it’ll be a £400 round trip. Except, of course, we won’t. You could buy a second-hand car and enough petrol to get there and back for that. Or less.
You could fly.
I’ll give them a call and see if they can find us something cheaper, but £400 for a couple of two and a half hour trips _won’t_ be on the cards.
(Delays on the 08h58 again this morning. And the 09h02 that I caught.)
