    Alright lads

    as there are a few going over for this there is a cheap option for the train if you want

    If you buy ret to northumberland park and select the groupsave 4 option it will cost £8.30 each. Only snag is you are meant to travel together.
    Considering the express costs £24 its a great deal.

    I am on the 8:10 from Dublin and back on the 20:15 that night. If anyone is on the same flights let me know and can see if we can get this cheaper fare.

    We used to do the group option to Tottenham Hale but they stopped doing it last year I think,so we just get the Northumberland park return for £16 like we did last Saturday.I didn't know there was a group option for Northumberland park.

    Yeah its there alright but I always buy online before I go so not sure what they would say if you went to the ticket office. Assume there would be no bothers.

    National express

    http://www.nationalexpress.com/trainslanding.aspx

    select journey and where it asks for railcards the groupsave 3 and 4 options are in the drop down. Just bring the credit card you use to purchase with you, put into the self service machines in the station and it prints off your ticket. Very handy/quick.

    Just had a quick look at trains ex Gatwick and you can book groupsave 3 and groupsave 4 from Gatwick to Seven Sisters (or Tottenham Hale) for £8.70 return per person using Southern Trains and the tube. A great deal when you consider the tube alone would cost you £4 each way or £6.30 for a off peak travelcard. Using the Gatwick Express and tube option will cost £12.35 return.

    You can book here http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/Main.php?sEvent=HomeCommuter
