Kaizero Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Both Oslo - Edinburgh - Train to Newcastle and Oslo - London - Train to Newcastle seem to come out at around the same cost. Now just need to look at lodging, on first glance the prices made my eyes bleed Feel like I arrived on the conclusion to travel just as the supply/demand level for rooms/airbnbs went out of whack.

Kaizero Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Once I sort accomodation I'll go for Oslo - Edinburgh, seems both easiest and most cost effective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know your total dates but www.trivago.co.uk for your best deals on hotels (looks like about £100 per night for a 2nighter somewhere dece) then www.lner.co.uk to sort your trains. Book an LNER train not a Crosscountry or Lumo, they’re way less reliable. It’s about 30 mins to/from from the airport in Edinburgh to the station on the bus/tram. Piece of piss from outside the terminal. Book a seat on the left of train coming down, right going back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Tried to see what I can shake loose on airbnb, sent some good old fashioned quid pro quo offers to properties on the nicer end of the scale. Should that not pan out I'll just go the usual route and pay full price like a common street urchin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option of early check-in at midday too for an extra tenner. Might want something a bit fancier if you're staying a couple of nights but all I need is somewhere to crash on Sunday night so this should do the job.

Decky Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Staying there myself Kaiz. The plan is to put a load of cans and whiskey into Shak's room for when we come back at 2 in the morning after we win the cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're travelling on a week day, do yourself a favor and avoid the trains that run during rush hours. Take in the Edinburg scenery for a couple of hours instead.

Kaizero Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Looking like I have managed to snag a fancy and central airbnb. It's got two bedrooms more than I can fill alone, so PM me for details if you still need accomodation. Can divulge details in said PM, it'll no doubt be cheaper than anything else you'll find and higher standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 From Aus staying in town for a while. Don't post much but have followed from afar for lots of years. Would love somewhere to watch the game with like minded lunatics. Have messaged Blaze to see if I can get in. First started following in the early 70's due to brain washing from dad, who is from Newcastle. Remember Super Mac first and have been through the highs of the entertainers and the low's of Ashley. All be it from afar. Have been to St James' a few times but getting tickets now is bloody difficult. Last time I was there with dad we lost 3-0 to Man U. At least I won't bring that luck to Wembley.

Add on to this, Cross Country trains fron Edinburgh are often less crowded than LNER ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
