Hours of groups of "lads" getting tanked up or aggressive and chanting football songs for the entire journey gets a bit tiresome. Especially when Plymouth is 5 hours each way. .

So I'd expect the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a railcard and splitting fares I think I got the cost of the Plymouth train down to about £70, it's a nightmare sorting all the different tickets but it's the same train all the way down and I think one change at Derby coming back. Coach won't be much cheaper, they haven't put a price in the link above, but it's been over £30 this season to MK and Peterborough which are only a couple of hours away.
