It's a frozen yogurt bar, I guess it's like Pinkberry? You get to pick a flavour/type of yogurt then pile on the toppings.

My gut is magic

Keep on checking train prices every morning, see if they're magically cheaper I'm thinking of getting there for about 8:30, then getting a train back around 5/6? Perfectly fine wandering myself to a cafe if 8:30 is too early for the majority!

Birdie85

Getting there FOR 8.30?! Blimey that is a bit early for me!

Annoyingly I have to trek to York or Northallerton to catch a train so will probably be lucky to catch one much earlier than 8. Also... why does it take ~2 hours to get down there but ~3 hours to get back home?!

You could always sign up for a ticket alert thing: http://www.thetrainline.com/ticketalert/

The earliest I'll be able to get there is 10am - the station is a half hour drive from my house and if I set off any earlier I'll be a total zombie. Annoyingly it seems the track works must start on a Saturday evening because the journey home is going to take about four hours :eek: I guess I'll bring some school work or something

EDIT - Ha Birdie, cross posts but I moaned about the journey times too!

Birdie85

Right, looking at it I can get to Kings Cross for 10.15 and leave at 5.50pm or wait until 8pm! How crazy! On the plus side, as it looks now I can get the 10.15/5.50 train tickets for £15.60 each way which is much more attractive than paying £108 to go home at 8!!!! WHY is train travel so expensive?! :eek:

Tete_en_l'Air

How come your tickets are so cheap?! - mine are coming up at £115 I'm thinking of the 5.50 train home as otherwise it's going to be midnight by the time I get there

Dinah, are you bringing Grace? Pls do, baby Kavics needs play dates. I don't really want to leave her with my friends, hope that's ok with all of you.

Birdie85

I don't know... it's just those 2 times that are showing as that price, all the others are ~£100! How about splitting your tickets and get those tickets from Northallerton and try to get cheap fares between you and there? Not sure if you'd be getting on the same train as me anyway so you could do that?

ETA: Oh you have to bring Baby K, I want to meet her and big her a big squishy cuddle!

Tete_en_l'Air

I think it's just that the cheapo ones haven't quite gone on sale yet, will hold out a little longer.

Of course bring Baby K!!!
