what is the best way to get from south wales to blackpool,, is there an airport near by or a train that goes direct?

thinking about going up there at the end of the month for a weekend away, is it worth it?

gareth

thanks for looking

 

M50 - M5 - M6 ..

 

there is always that option aswell

 

only took me 3 hrs by road last time i went, but did leave @ 6.00,

there is a airport in blackpool m8 but aint sure if ant direct flights

and by train u,ll prob av 2 change at least 3 times

or get a rubber dingy and paddle ur away around the coasttline

 

And the M55. The M6 will only get you as close as Preston!

Blackpool does have an airport but you will need to find out if they run internal flights between Cesspool and where ever you want to fly from.

 

Nope, it's a shit hole!

 

i heard its tops there for a weekend

looking at flying now,,, which could save drinking time

 

Blackpool isn't TOO bad. It just the usual tacky seaside town.

 

Remember though that Gareth lives by Barry Island (as do I sometimes ) which therefore makes Blackpool look like St Tropez

edited to say I have had some top stag weekends in Blackpool

 

Y2K RS, fuck all wrong with barry and i dont liv on the island

 

Gareth

I know a guy who bought one of those new fancy houses on the island over the winter for big bucks, and thought it was great until summer came and the fair opened.

Well pissed off now he is, as he said all he can hear in the evenings when he sits out in his garden is the young valley birds squeeling on the waltzers all fucking night, and the muppets on the loud hailers giving it large

 

Y2K RS,

they are lovely houses and will be cracking once the health and safety closes the rides down

 

from cardiff,

Central Trains service to birmingham new street,
Virgin Trains service from birmingham to Preston
First Trans-Pennine Express from Preson to blackpool north station

price is

£56.00 for a standard open single
£112.00 for a standard open return (travel out 1 day, return within 30 days)
£72.40 for a standard saver return (same conditions as open return)

journey time is arrpox 4 hours 30 mins including changes

Graceland, thanks mate

there will be loads of ud going up, so i could hire a mini bus cheaper than all the fairs put together

 

if theres a group purchase of tickets then you can get a discount on 10 or more people

if you buy a family railcard for 20 quid this will entitle upto 2 adults and 4 children to travel and gives you 34% discount on every ticket bought - well worth it if you are going a long distance

or borrow my staff pass and get 75% discount on your tickets

i can go to london in first class comfort for 70 quid return or 20 quid retrun if i sit with the plebs in standard

 

Barry is isnt it Gareth.I live there it must be .

 

all the best people live in barry,,, even russell grant has lived her

 

and Bob Hope when he was a nipper, saw one of those blue plaques on a house, think it was by the Leisure Centre

you need to watch more black and white movies instead of tinkering with your car.
