    Excellent,

    now where do I get some cheap train tickets from Manchester to London?

    MM

    National Express trains are doing some £8 one ways from all over the country to London. Hope this helps.

    Didn't manage to get one, but well done to everyone that did!
  • Tried using the html link and didnt find any £1 rates, then tried the link from the Hoxton and straight away on two screens, booked 2 x £1 rooms, well happy :j also received the two emails confirming the bookings

    You can't book two £1 rooms. Unless you did it registered with two different addresses and they won't know.

    Me too, I entered my details about 10 times :(
    I've memorised my credit card details after typing them in so many times (roboform wasn't working on the flash site and html wasn't working with the £1 rates), I suppose that's something useful to take away with the disappointment! :rotfl:
  • Does anyone want to swap the 5th Jan for a few days earlier? I messed up!

    you may not be a happy chappy for too long! If they realise you got 2 rooms for £1 then they will cancel them both

    Hi

    Managed to get 4th Jan but really wanted 3rd (they had already gone when I tried). Is there anyone out there who wants to swap? I'd pay you the £1 back so you'd get the room for free! :D:j

    Sorry, I got the 3rd and don't want to swap, even to save a pound!! ;)
  • Yippeee, 3rd time lucky for me I got a room for £1.00 was so excited that I got my Saturday night, until I realised I had booked Sunday aggghhhh - just hope we can get days off work


    snap! :mad:

  • I got one for the middle Saturday in December for 1 night £1. Now when I check their normal prices, the same room would cost £129. Sweeeeeeet!

    Its a rollercoaster ride trying to get these- people swapping stories of near misses and successes- Perhaps we were being too clever trying to use the html link, but it looks like the first £1 rooms were not released by the software till much later. Its no good saying they should sort out the server etc- its much better than it was the first few times they did it and so long as their rooms go in half an hour, why should they worry? Its a great offer and I hope people love their stays.
