Having booked tickets for my son and myself I thought I ought to decide how to get there. We live near Portsmouth so the thought of driving up the A34 wasn't appealing so looked at taking the train. The train takes just over 3 hours with one or two changes but for the two of us the return fare is £180!!!
Decision was easy, 280 return journey by car at our convenience with car parking at £14.
Who says "let the train take the strain"
