London midland got back to me saying that the only service I could travel on is the 16:46 Euston-Crewe, I think that's my only option. a bit disappointing really :| but thanks for your help guys

So I tweeted LM but wont get an answer until tomorrow, I was looking at doing it without paying for extra tickets. It seems a bit silly of LM to assume no one will be travelling north of Birmingham or Crewe.

Hi guys, I am planning to make use of the great escape offer next Wednesday (25th) by travelling from Liverpool S Pway to london euston and returning the same day. It was surprisingly easy to plan the route there changing at stafford arriving at 12:50...great :D. The problem however is coming...

I think its just a case of the trip not being worth it for stagecoach. Arriva didn't want it and now stagecoach are trying to bin it off. I can see the 500 ending early evening soon.

Its probably cheaper on national express.

Thanks. I'll take a look

I know arriva buses have a U16 card that they send for free. Would this be accepted by a guard seems it's from a reliable source?

Aaah well. Guess you can't have best of both worlds. Speed and good price

No I just mean 2 standard tickets bought online

Hi guys and gals. Just wondering whether you can split a ticket of the train doesn't call at the station you are splitting at. ie liv-eus splitting at Nuneaton. I'm guessing no but I may be surprised.

Sorry. I meant to say enforcement needs to be improved. Like some have said. Wires are visable all over the network.

I suppose you're right. We don't tell France about our cable thefts. I do agree with harsher punishment. Had it been private property (i.e someones lovely garden gnome) I think the punishment would be greater.

What do they use in Europe. Or are people just more respectable over there.

One of the main costs to network rail is cable theft. They are targeted due to the copper in them. Just wondering.. Is their not a cheaper alternative to copper that is just as good a conductor.

I think virgin are trying too hard to impress. Why do this on a temporary contract?

The bus drivers around Merseyside couldn't give 2 hoots what you show them. Show them a cigarette box they'll let you on.....I always buy a valid ticket btw.

Sorry. Didn't want to make an unnecessary thread.

Don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. I'll have to come back via Birmingham due to all the Crewe trains being within the forbidden 1700 and 1830 time bracket. Anyone got any other ideas to avoid 4 hrs on the way back. :)

But if he says no, I'm screwed. Perhaps I'll just get an earlier train from LPY.

Dunno whether I should have started a new thread about this but its the same subject so... I am planning on using the LM Great Escape deal on Tuesday the 19th to get down to London for the day. I am traveling from Liverpool South Parkway. I was hoping to get an early train down to crewe and...
