Homegrove Hursty they are idiots if they continue to fly and complain about extreme weather. So basically tories.
benson Hursty apparently. I’ve just checked and there are no trains. I will report back from eurostar and tgv in January
Along_the_Wire Homegrove Tories don’t a fuck about the environment judging by the comments section in The Times
vinnyt77 benson I will report back from eurostar and tgv in January Where you off to in Jan? Did Val D’Isere by that route in 2022, and it was a piece of piss.
benson vinnyt77 Val D for me as well. Train to Bourg and then bus up the hill. Only thing is to get the bus we are getting an early eurostar so need to stay in London the night before. Geneva airport was hell on earth last year and the transfer back from Val after a skinful was awful. Let the train take the strain and despite my environemntal crecentials being in tatters, it will have the bonus of a better outcome for mother earth, assuming we have not been nuked by Putin
RichM Hursty I’ve flown 4 times this year, might be 5 before the end of the year. What does that make me??
Smallman1 RichM I’ve flown 4 times this year, might be 5 before the end of the year. What does that make me?? An absolute winner!
vinnyt77 benson We had a nightmare journey down the mountain from Val D’Isere about 8-9 years ago. Maybe 7 hours on the coach back to Chambery? Swore never again, and been easy to stick to that.
Smallman1 Remember flying to Leeds a few years ago to go to the Yorkshire Dales. Was about £100 cheaper than getting the rattler.
Hursty Smallman1 this is true, the train prices are obscene in the UK plus the service is shit, I have no idea how the intend to get people to use them, environmental concerns isn’t going to cut it when your wallet gets raped to travel a few miles.
RichM Hursty totally agree. Trains should be a public service that is affordable. It’s crazy the prices of trains these days, and they are often a poor service
bosstrabs Interestingly, there are no direct flights from any London airport to Leeds. I wonder if Smallman flew via Amsterdam. Or maybe via SPIKE ISLAND.
