A train leaves Portsmouth & Southsea on Thursday morning (10:52), due to
arrive Preston at 15:38 (via London Waterloo and Euston) with a single

To avoid your having to drive 500+ miles there and back it sounds like a
bloody bargain.


Aye, cost about £60 in fuel alone, assuming 40 mpg. You'd also be
hard pressed to drive it sensibly, coffee and pee breaks, in the
4h46m of the train.


Yes, but taking the car is way more fun :-)
