Fatwax Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm getting on at the first or second stop I reckon, depending on how my mood takes me. Either way, I'll be looking at 3 hours minimum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Er, how much would this whole thing cost (from Lincoln obviously)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Er, how much would this whole thing cost (from Lincoln obviously)? It all depends on how many are on the coach. The more on, the cheaper it will be. It won't be any more than £20, that's a maximum. If you car share to the Humber Bridge pick up, it would maybe cost you another couple of quid each if you were to split the petrol money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Definitely cheaper than getting the train there and back then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Rough guide to travelling times. Obviously not set in stone or anything, just going by the Route Planners and not taking into account length of time spent at pick up points which will realistically only add a couple of minutes a stop... Route A: Victoria Dock, Hull - 2 hours 59 minutes Humber Bridge - 2 hours 49 minutes Ferrybridge Service Station - 2 hours 14 minutes Sovereign Street, Leeds - 1 hour 49 minutes Route B: Victoria Dock, Hull - 3 hours 29 minutes Humber Bridge - 3 hours 19 minutes Doncaster Railway Station - 2 hours 30 minutes Ferrybridge Service Station - 2 hours 14 minutes Sovereign Street, Leeds - 1 hour 49 minutes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Definitely cheaper than getting the train there and back then. Most certainly. If we can get the bus anywhere near full, the price will be nearer to the £10 mark. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Is it allowed to booze on this 'ere coach? Technically, no, due to it being illegal. However, as I've said before, the driver is spot on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Interesting one this. If I travel to Hull, which was the original plan, I end up paying £5.40 in bridge toll, as well as petrol. I could however drive to Donny, but I wouldn't want to leave my car there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 This could prove to be a little early yet as there's a chance it could be moved, but fingers crossed it will remain on the Saturday...
