Hartlepool for the replay

[Edmundo]

Better than a Tuesday, I guess, but not good.

10.00 from King's Cross, change at Northallerton and Thornaby arrive Hartlepool 14.01

(there is a 9.00, but no "cheap" fares for that one.)

18.13 Hartlepool, change at Thornaby and Darlington arrive Kings Cross 22.23

(this is the last train - and any earlier and you risk missing extra-time / penalties.)

Apex fare = £49.

Flights to Newcastle go from Heathrow (BA) or Stansted (Easyjet) and will cost about £80 incl taxes etc. Then you need to get to Hartlepool from the Toon, of course!

[The Prophet]

Going by car. Trains have been a real nightmare this season. :sad:

[Edmundo]

Four and a half to five hour drive, I reckon. But probably the cheapest option.

[The Prophet]

Means 9 hours :zzzzz: :zzzzz: for me :sorted:

[Alex]

Teeside airport is nearer. Try BMi

[Holysmit]

Anyone else going to this from the Norwich area?

[Alex]

Last flight back is 18:10 :(

That's fine, I'm sure we'll lose in 90mins. :eek: Seriously as few of you book it then at least that way we're guatenteed extra time ;)

[Porgey]

Anyone who was planning on staying over in Blackpool... Why not either train it or fly upto Tees Valley Saturday and have a Saturday night in Durham instead.. Only about 20 miles from the ground..

:wave:

[nocoat]

More bastard expense :sad:

[Mr Tree]

I'm tempted by this - anyone else? (It's Easyjet.)

[Jimbee]

I'm tempted but extra-time and penalties loom.

[Griffin]

There are some tempting prices on offer (plane and train) however all returns would be too tight for extra time and pens should it go that far.

[Mr Tree]

so have a night in newcastle and travel back at your leisure on sunday :cool:

How far is Newcastle Airport to Hartlepool. With 19.00 flight back you will need to check in by 18.20. :fishing:

[Jimbee]

There is a £90 option with BA from Heathrow and the flight back isn't until 7.40pm.

I was just going to do that. :wave: BMI though? :sorted:

[Mr Tree]

hmmm - getting the cheapest fare with BMI means leaving at 8am. And that's £80 return. Leaving later bumps it up to £100.

Still, maybe it's worth the little extra to avoid spending all day on the fecking train :eek:
