Title: Bristol-Kilkenny cheaper and quicker than Bristol-Peterborough.... Post by: Mookiemoo on May 25, 2011, 09:30:26 So say my research.......
Try Monday morning peak trains and friday evening peak trains.....and/or the extra cost of a hotel on sunday night to avoid the monday peak...... Compared to a return flight from bristol airport to dublin with die and dare (cheaper than air fungus) and the fuel to drive at the other end - and even add in a taxi fare at the portishead end to get to airport!

Post by: Brucey on May 25, 2011, 09:48:31 I've just been quoted ^31.98* (including all charges and admin fees) for a return from Bristol to Dublin next week. Thanks for posting this Mookiemoo, it's given me some inspiration for a last minute trip.
Also cheaper than SailRail Quote ECR - ECONOMY RETURN 00984 - HOLYHD STENA SHP Non-standard discounts apply 1 Adult @^ 64.00 = ^ 64.00 __________ ^ 64.00 Standard Class Return * = Or ^19.98 if paying with a Mastercard Prepaid card Title: Re: Bristol-Kilkenny cheaper and quicker than Bristol-Peterborough.... Post by: Mookiemoo on May 25, 2011, 09:53:06 Well I'm looking at monday morning - friday evening peak commutes so 31.98 is a little cheap but 50 odd quid is a bargain!
