Eurostar

Outward: London St Pancras 08.34 - Brussels 11.29
Return: Brussels 18.59 - London St Pancras 19.56

Train

Outward: Bristol 04.47 - London Paddington 06.24 - London St Pancras 06.54
Return: London St Pancras 21.15 - London Paddington 21.45 - Bristol 23.33

Those train journeys cost £82.50 and the Eurostar is £148.50. The dates are leaving on Tues 8th and returning on Wed 9th

For starters you don't need to be at St Pancras that early.

Oo-err!! Do they do boxercise or circuits-based classes at your gym? They often use punch- and kickpads as part of the workout. Might as well try to get the best ouf the gym while you're still there...

Also (changing the subject swiftly away from exercise and back to food)... did anyone (Cinny?) end up getting an icing gun? I've just got an Amazon voucher from Toluna and I wash thinking of treating myself And obviously the world will benefit from the beauty of my cakes... Still don't think I could charge £30 for 9 though!

OK Just checked those tickets and that is the cheapest way. I hope you and OH can sleep on the train as it is long day for you both on the way over. You could have breakfast in London before the train if you can find a weatherspoons that is open early enough.

I missed that one Poddle. Defo oo-err missus there!!!!

Yeah I thought that.. but the train after that which gets in at 7.46am costs £133.55! :eek: And so I chose that earlier one which costs £47.90.

Thanks for all your help Poolie! I really appreciate it Hopefully it'll all work out ok!

Zig the 04:47 from Bristol to London was £30 each and the return journey is £20 so you can get it for £50 per head return.

Dinah - What formula do you have and what values in each cell.

Lets try and sort the Lady of the Thread out!

I think I've missed something you've said/done somewhere along the way. Do you think it would be cheaper to get the train to Kings Cross, then just get the tube to St Pancras? Or should I do that train journey that means you change at Paddington then continue onto St Pancras?

I'll have a look for myself now and see what I find. Please feel free to tell me to bog off at any point! I feel bad that you're spending your time helping me!

Bristol to Paddington is going to be the cheapest journey and the fastest. You will not get a train into London Kings Cross from the South West.

Your going to have to do the trip between Paddington and Kings Cross St Pancras underground with Circle Line or Hammersmith and City Line.
