Gaunty31 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just been looking at train times & prices for the ridiculously early start next month and the cheapest I can find is something like ?70-?80 quid return. Surely this can't be the best price?? Has anyone else managed to find cheaper tickets or is it best turning up on the day to get tickets? Thanks in advance!!

Victorian Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 it's an early KO and the only train that will get you there is the 06.30(ish). price is probably about right unfortunately. might be better to book now as it's the only one and everybody going on saturday morning will have to be on it.

Edinburgh to Inverness leaving at 06.33 gets in at 10.29 Inverness to Edinburgh leaving at 16.53 or 18.43 gets in at 20.29 or 22.19 ?45.80 return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottish_chicP Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I was looking forward to an Inverness trip but due to time of KO and train prices I think I will be missing this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destruction Derby Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 its the september weekend hence why prices are probably dearer than normal Friday to Sunday is what it's all about . Best away day of the season IMO. It's the 1 I look out for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense, its as poster #2 says - 4 return tickets purchased in advance for ?40, tenner a head! The trains at 6:40am I think, Robbos Loyal will be on it! Hotel will be getting boooked shortly as well - past favourites include the Premier Travel Inn (both Central & East), the Wetherspoons &, best of all, The Beaufort!

No, let me explain - Robbos Loyal always travel to Inverness by train, in order to stay over for the weekend. Robbos Loyal treat Inverness like a European trip, as its such a trek. To all other away games - with the obvious exception of Easter Road - Robbos Loyal run a bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoked-Glass Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Just shows you that the powers that be will do nothing to please football fans. Stupid early kick offs, sunday games, monday games. The fans are last in the list of what is deemed important. Having said all that I will watch it on tv but obviously it's on but, I would be happy if it wasn't on at all so that everyone could get a 3pm game.

22games nro Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 if people are struggling with the train prices, although its a different trip the megabus may offer people a better price for traveling to inverness , just google megabus for the details , but like anything else the earlier you book the cheaper it is.(ps you sometimes have to change at perth) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindheart Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Jeso, such a fuss. I live up here (Inverness) and travel down every other week (Season Ticket). Megabus is just as quick as train and cheap (last Sat cost ?15 RETURN) Trains are pot luck for price but book early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Winstone Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 For those who are hitting the town in Inverness after the game etc - remember there is a 12am curfew in force. Once you are in somewhere past 12am you have to stay there as you won't get in anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
