Title: Anyone driving from Bournemouth? (or just going from Bournemouth)
Post by: Parkin09 on Thursday, May 14, 2015, 16:33:17
Hello!

As a Swindon fan living in Bournemouth the past year has been pretty much unbearable and is only to get worse with the amount of plastics already out of the woodwork, can anyone help me out with a lift to Wembley on Sunday? My father has bought me a ticket and I'm quite happy to pay petrol and any other costs.

Cheers!

Ekarot yeah realised the same when reading the thread title, both trains get in roughly at the same time so there may well be a few of us. There is normally a good crowd from Andover and Basingstoke get on the train too. :beers: fill up the beer trolley southwest trains!!

That doesn't feel unreasonable to me, for what must be a 200 mile round trip.

It does feel unreasonable to me when Ekerot is traveling further on the same line and got his for £12 return just by going into a station.
