Ok, so I've seen quite a few scattered posts about the forums saying there's a few folks going from Liverpool lime street on the Tuesday. Basicly, who's up for it? Let us know what time and how many people are gonna be in on it?

i've booked mine, figured it would be cheaper
lime street also fails at ticket booths atm, the most people i've seen selling tickets at any one time during the last 2 months or so was 2, despite there being about 8 booths

Topcat,
Cheapest available is an off-peak return, at £27.40. This'll be your best bet as well so you don't have to specify which train you will travel home on on Monday (or Tuesday, whatever). You can buy these tickets from the ticket office at Liverpool on the day (or in advance if it's easier, but it's no cheaper).
There are cheaper single tickets available to Leeds on Tuesday (£11.50) if you buy in advance, but there are no cheap tickets left from Leeds on Monday (£25 cheapest).
www.thetrainline.com if you want to buy online.
Any other train questions let me know, it's my proper job!
Al.

everyone setting off from liverpool do you wanna meet at the end of the platform so we can all try and sit together?
we should maybe set a time but i'm going to be there massively early anyway probably because i don't trust taxis haha!
