CharlieCharles Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Get a railcard if on the train... it saves you 1/3 off price every trip.
ramboacdc Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Hey, need some advice want a job in leicester but want to commute from nottingham, does anyone do it and if so is it expensive/what is the cheapest option train or driving. driving unless you can get a railcard.
RowlattsFox Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Get a railcard if on the train... it saves you 1/3 off price every trip. I don't know if its changed now but you couldn't use your railcards for any discounts before 9am unless its over £12. I used to commute to Birmingham for a placement whilst studying and I could never use it. There's also no railcard if your over 24 and under 60 which is a bitch.
richardsfoxes Posted 1 October 2015 Author Posted 1 October 2015 I just had a quick look now its in city centre, so a train would be better i think from next week to January is like £468, which isn't that bad i guess.
Fox92 Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Get a season ticket. Although they are expensive as you pay in one lump sum, it works out cheaper. I'm commuting at the minute (looking for a place is harder than I imagined).
Voll Blau Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Get a railcard if on the train... it saves you 1/3 off price every trip. No discount during peak hours (i.e. commuting times) on East Midlands Trains, so you couldn't use it then. Had the same problem when doing Harborough to Derby last year.
Soar Fox Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Move to leicester it's a better football side Nottingham do have a hooters though.
The Doctor Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 I don't know if its changed now but you couldn't use your railcards for any discounts before 9am unless its over £12. I used to commute to Birmingham for a placement whilst studying and I could never use it. There's also no railcard if your over 24 and under 60 which is a bitch. It's 10am now, and there are a few railcards for adults, but they're usually based around travelling with two people which isn't much use for commuting to work.
Wymsey Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Nottingham do have a hooters though. We have Swan and Rushes/King's Head.
Soar Fox Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 We have Swan and Rushes/King's Head. Kings head has Ken in playing bowl blood, hooters has half naked women walking round serving you beer. Which would you prefer?
Stadt Posted 1 October 2015 Posted 1 October 2015 Dont; know what bowl blood is. I still don't think it matters
zak_lcfc Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 National express run a fairly regular timetable that is quite cheap, I used to travel back from Notts and I think on average I paid £4, once I got a last minute ticket for £2.80 but I think I just got lucky, takes about 45 minutes if I remember correctly so not too bad, the coaches are getting better but sometimes you get a fairly old one that's a little run down
Rincewind Posted 3 October 2015 Posted 3 October 2015 Is that the airport coach? Runs through the night I believe.

Carl the Llama Posted 5 October 2015 Posted 5 October 2015 I hate it when you're on the train to work and some weird babysitter has 45-seconds sex with an 11 year old on the seat next to you.

Dunno why you put it in this thread but the sub heading cracked me up. 'sex-mad' youngster who was 'fully up for experience'
Manwell Pablo Posted 9 October 2015 Posted 9 October 2015 Dunno why you put it in this thread but the sub heading cracked me up. It's the notch on his belt that got me.
