Oh yes. You became the most human of them all. You can now brag about your superior humanity. 8O :cool:


Also, all this talk about the next one being in Manchester. All i have to say is thanks for the heads up. Got about a year to find a way to build up a cashfund to get up there....the homeless don't NEED that money right??

Did not know about this *adds to bookmark*. Honestly, i've never had the need to leave London to go to other cities within England (always go to other countries), so never looked for any train deals. Always assumed they'd be extortionate.

In short, I live my life like a bad video game. Whenever i walk somewhere i'm not supposed to go, i hit an invisible wall and go back the way i came

Don't worry, you've got a year to learn!;)

RSH doesn't have the best website, but it is the most likely to give away free credit as part of newspaper or FB promotions. I think you can also exchange Tesco Clubcard points for RSH credit.

Split ticketing can save cash - where instead of b*ying a ticket from A to Z, it might (but not always) be cheaper b*ying three tickets for the same A to Z train, e.g. A to B, B to H and H to Z. Bit fiddly, but worth exploring on expensive journeys. You don't get off the train, but may technically need to move around a bit.

Btw, if you have an annual travelcard, you get 1/3 off 'London' train journeys - won't help all the way to Manchester, but it's a trick that took me about a year to discover and is worth knowing.

I only pa*d £13 for the return trip including my day travelcard for London and I only had to p*y as I had already spent/used my redspottedhanky e vouchers on my trips to York, Newcastle, Birmingham, Windermere, Kendal, Sheffield and Edinburgh :roll: I tend to use part vouchers part money so I can save some savings for my next trip - these trips are all within the last 9 months :oops: Its about working the deals even got a trip from Manchester to Brighton in June planned for the vast sum of £3.95 for 2 people o/

We will get you trained up on this TheOnes, akh43 got to London for free 8O
