Hi guys,

I was wondering if any of your bargain hunters knew of a cheap way to get to Plymouth from Manchester tomorrow please?

Prices I am being quoted at £150 on train and its far too much.

Is there a coach?

You can't get by train to Plymouth at the moment due to the damage in Dawlish. it will cost you £67 to Fly from Manchester to Exeter tomorrow Dep 8.45 Arr 9.50 then the stagecoach bus to Exeter bus station change to the X38 for the bus to Plymouth ( £7.50 for an day explorer)

Even on a 'normal' Sunday you wouldn't do it for 1pm by train

The bus from Exeter airport is number 56: it runs about once an hour. A taxi into town costs around six pounds, and the time saved could be worth the money.

The X38 is horribly slow: National Express run a far faster service between Exeter and Plymouth. You can pick it up from a stop by the motorway, close to the airport, if you are willing to get there by taxi.

Hitch hike

I've not seen any in ages but saw two separate ones this morning, I would have obliged but I was on my bike and the head wind was bad enough as it was

You used to see it a lot before everyone got scared of each other

Yes, it's such a shame really. We used to be able to give someone a lift and not even think they may kill us and steal the car...........
