opinions4u Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I know it's predictable, but when booking your trains, please go through the PlayerShare WebShop link to ensure a small bit of your fare works its way back to Latics' playing budget via PlayerShare. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Virgin+trains&order=alpha&page=A If you're staying over in London, please book our hotel via the WebShop too. This is a nice little earner. I'd suggest the link below, but Late Rooms and other hotel sites can be found if you search around a little. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Hotels.com&order=alpha&page=search Including Premier Inn. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Premier+inn&order=alpha&page=search ---- Nothing to do with PlayerShare, but getting a Bite Card will save you 20% at many station concessions, including the bar at Euston. https://www.bitecard.co.uk/ If you're travelling with kids, get a Family Railcard. Use the code SAVING8 to reduce the price from £28 to £20. http://www.familyandfriends-railcard.co.uk/saving/ Edited February 5, 2013 by opinions4u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 1. I'm not going in fancy dress. What next, gay marriage?! 2. As is the tradition, I'll be meeting the northerners off the train at Euston, whether I know them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Includes a zone 1-4 tube ticket and you can get any train home as long as its the same day. You can't usually lose by going on Oyster, the combined train and travel card probably assumes you use the maximum of Zones 1-4, whereas Oyster only charges you what you use and never more than a 1-4 travel card would be.
