Gemmill 47096 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 A mate is coming over from America and is heading to Newcastle from Amsterdam, but then has to get from Newcastle to Egham for work. My geographical knowledge of this country is pathetic so was hoping someone on here would know the best way to travel - flight, car, train, whatever? Cheers.

Guest alex Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Be quickest to fly Newcastle to Heathrow I would have thought. Might not be the cheapest though (I think only BA fly that route). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonraider 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The only advice i can give to your mate is this, 'If you're visiting Gemmill, dont bother, he's an infuriating know it all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 canny journey that even by train Aye, typical of my experiences from visiting my mate in Guildford and then when he moved to Marlow. Getting to King's X is a piece of piss. Then the 'fun' starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already knows this. Cheers lads, flight probably the least hassle then by the look of things. He was on about hiring a car, but it would be a twat of a drive I would think. I think work is paying so he may as well just fly then hire a car/get a train/taxi from Heathrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck driving down like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15870 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 be careful like arent BA staff due to strike for 3 days soon'ish ? That's true, booking BA is probably a bit of a lottery at the minute... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
