hi guys i just wanted to ask about train tickets for the do. is it best to just get a ticket to one of the main manchester stations??? and then negotiate my way from there??? has anyone else bought their tickets yet???
just wanted some advice before i buy, :D

i think haze is getting a train from london to manchester piccadilly, then a train from there to bolton, but i'm not to sure

last i heard haze might be driving up, but i've pm'ed her anyways. ta kay1 :D

What you could do Donna is try and find out how much it would be to get a train from your end to Farnworth (changing at M'cr piccadilly) and then ask how much it would be to get a train just to Piccadilly from where you are and then another train from Piccadilly to Farnworth, see which works out cheapest.

I'll try to find out what trains are going to be like from Piccadilly to Farnworth for you all too, as not all trains to Bolton actually stop at Farnworth.

Hope that helps

im going with virgin trains- london huston to farnworth (couple of changes)
45.00 return for two adults if u have a family rail card which is only 20.00 and i do recommend one as they save u loads on future journys.

Thanks for that info Carly!!! :D

;) no problem

have booked my tickets got a saver return for £18.90 so not too bad just got tickets to oxford rd and then will negotiate my way from there (thumbs up)

The Bolton train goes through Oxford Road mate, so you shouldn't have to go to another station (thumbs up)

For those travelling on the Bolton train from Manchester Piccadilly, the train will stop at the following stations; Manchester Oxford Rd, Deansgate (although not all the trains stop at Deansgate they go straight onto Salford Crescent), Salford Crescent, (goes through Kearsley, Farnworth, Moses Gate & Bolton.

at least i will be able to get to farnworth from there then!!! any ideas how far the fairways is from farnworth train station???

sorry to post twice guys but just wanted to post this map

Farnworth map

siince the fourways is on bolton rd is moses gate station closer than farnworth station??? ( you have to scroll the map down to see farnowrth station)

thanks for all the info guys, this is the next thing to book. I will have to have a look into what is the best way of getting there :)

My plan was to jump in a taxi !!! lol Easiest way to find these places !!

alas dawneh i am a poor student and can't afford a taxi :( :lol:

Awww poor you !! ;)

Sorry if I've confused everyone! I've confused myself too!

Erm, I might be going by train, changing at Manchester Piccadilly because it's easiest, but I might also be driving (if I'm feeling brave!) :D

But at this precise moment I'll probably be going with the train idea!

Hope that kinda clears up the confusion? :wacko:

i'll be getting the train from manchester piccadilly to bolton aswell, i'll have to check the times next week
