Onthefringes Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 All aboard the Bellshill Express at 7.22. Leaving a little earlier mind, friends fare from available from Edinburgh too... saves changing at Perth outwards and return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellimp Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Friends fare is still available from Edinburgh. Makes it a long day but it's cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthefringes Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Not any longer than via Glasgow and it saves changes at Perth which are usually drink free and under the beady eyes of the transport dibble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going from Glasgow. See you on the train at Perth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Scotrail are fuckin' at it! Went onto the site earlier to buy two singles for me and the Spaniard for the 8.41am to Inverness, with the plan of getting the Megabus home. Nae hassle, two seats for £10.30 a piece - clear as day. So I clicked on them, and went to pay but had to enter my Scotrail username & password. I cannae mind my password so I clicked to have it e-mailed to me. During this time, the seats available for £10.30 magically vanished and by the time I got my password, the price per seat was up to £40.80. Fuckin' load of shite. Gonnae phone them tomorrow. No danger I'll get cheap tickets, I just feel like abusing fuck out of a Scotrail worker. So aye, still no further along with actually getting to Inverness. If anybody has two spare Friends Fare briefs for the Inverness train at 8.41am let me know so the Motherwell Armada can make the journey! There's a pint or two in it for you...

Casagolda Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 You can still get singles for £10 from thetrainline.com for the 10:11am train. Got my friends fares from there after seeing none on Scotrail or nationrail websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my friends fares from there after seeing none on Scotrail or nationrail websites That's up to £40 now anaw mate. Looks like the Motherwell Armada will need to head up on the 7.06am effort! That said, Marcos'll be working night shift the night before so it would still be much, much better for us to get the 8.41am train. So if any generous soul with two tickets for that train would be willing to swap and go up on the 7.06am instead, feel free to let me know in exchange for a pint!!

Aye, I was fuckin' right - it's like a conspiracy to stop the Motherwell Armada making it to Inverness! He's supposed to be working nightshift the night before and might not even make it to Queen Street for 7.06am. He probably will, but it's not guaranteed and we've already bought the tickets. So if anybody with two tickets for the 8.41am train there who genuinely doesn't mind getting the 7.06am instead - in exchange for a couple of pints in Inverness obviously - you'd be an absolute hero.

Jay Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 straight off a night shift into a train day to inverness Oh aye, if it goes to plan it's a belter - but there's a massive chance it'll be straight off a night shift into a day spent looking at the ticket for the train he missed!

Jay Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'm gonnae get involved in this over the weekend, and hopefully get a refund on the ticket I've already bought! EDIT: Wait - that just worked!? I didnae think your code would work!? I'll believe it fully when the tickets arrive but could be game on for the Motherwell Armada!! EDIT AGAIN: Terms & conditions state the code entitles you to buy "TWO tickets in ONE TRANSACTION". Delighted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Got my tickets in for the 8.41 already! Good times! Means I have two tickets for the 7.06 that are unrefundable though. Anyone want to buy them for a couple of quid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 if you make that train the cell has passed you Outstanding! Christ, how long ago was this?! I look so young and fresh-faced! In fact, pretty sure this was the Inverness game that a few of us went up on the Friday in the Megabus. You can make out the cut on the side of my nose where I'd been hooked by a random teuchter the night before! EDIT: In fact, if it is then that probably means these photos were taken on the train back home before the stop at Perth where I jumped off a wall and knocked myself clean out! Some trip that was!
