opinions4u Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Dead simple - if you're travelling to any Latics fixture please book your tickets via PlayerShare WebShop. Trains for any operator via the link to Virgin pay 2% commission to PlayerShare. No credit card surcharges, unlike TheTrainline. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Virgin&order=alpha&page=V Hotels for those trips to London and Bournemouth with 8% going to PlayerShare. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=Hotels.com&order=alpha&page=search National Express Coaches pay 3% of any spend back to PlayerShare. http://www.spendandraise.com/xtra/shop/retailers/?search=National+express&order=alpha&page=search Keep your eye open for Diego's away travel guides for which station to travel to. I've booked my train tickets for MK Dons from Euston to Bletchley, spending a total of £20 for me and the lad on a railcard. Book now to get the cheapest fares!

opinions4u Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) I think it's the easiest, but other ways of doing it. Brentford's a fair bit out of what I'd call central London though. So the one time I did it we got back into the centre and stayed in a hotel in Leicester Square. This time it's into Euston, then use a zone 4 travel pass linked to family railcard to get to ground and back. Staying near Euston this time and then travelling back on the Sunday lunch time. Might pay the £15 to upgrade to first class for the journey home as a treat. Might also see We Will Rock You next to Tottenham Court Road too! Another £2.22 commission via Virgin today.

It's a dump near the ground, look to stay nearer to Euston, will also save you he bother of carrying your bags around.

Zorrro Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It is, however, much easier and quicker to get back to the gravy from. Didn't realise Brentford was so soon. Might have to start putting the feelers out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
