    Sounds like a good deal.

    My sister in law has done this collecting tokens from York Evening press and also got Travelodge near one of the stations in London
    for £141 bed and breakfast.

    Tie it in with 2 4 1 offers its quite good value for a few days away
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • wooop, just got a return Peterborough to Newcastle for £20 in Feb. they look to be selling fast, I had to wait an hour to check when weekend I could go, and there was only a few left on my dates.

    This is a real bargain. last time I did it it was £50 return. I'm in Norwich, with parents in Newcastle, so this is a regular trip for me. I drive to Peterborough then catch the East Coast.
