How would I get to?
« on: 02 April 2010, 20:28:29 »
Linlithgow, West Lothian, United Kingdom. Mrs doesn't want to go, I can understand why, don't want to pay the train prices of over £180 either so how else would I get there? Would be me and a 15 year old. Looked on national express they know where I'm coming from but their website doesn't know the place I want to get to. Found a very cheap van up there as I sold mine today and don't want to fuel the car or use any of the other cars I have either all 4 of them are all off the road.

It's about 20 miles from Edinburgh, so bus to there and local service I reckon.

I always use national express, no matter what. Took me 7 hours to get to Brighouse from Oxford to get the Range Rover. Just find a place that's near where you want to go, and then get a taxi, or a local bus or something. There's always ways of doing it, I never bother with the train. It only cost me £33 to get to Brighouse.

daft as it is for buying vans, motorbike to get there and then strap in the back to drive back.

or buy a scrapper with couple weeks T&T plus AA Relay drive it there to get the van and get current owner to follow tou to a scrappy to weigh it in. :y

£120 on the bus to Edinburgh :o See I'd dearly love one closer to home but for one there isn't any cheap and this one has 35k miles Full dealer history couple of tiny marks but it's really cheap and needs nothing  :-/

Also that departs at 7:40 am and arrives at 21:05, so there is another cost for tea and coffee breaks plus fuel money which'll be probably another hundred quid.

cheapest option - bus it to Edinburgh, get train at Waverley or Haymarket to Linlithgow - STMO's on the money - it's about 20mins from Edinburgh by train - it'll be about £4 for the train  :y
