This is a Fantastic Idea thumbsup

If folks are prepared to buy saveways etc - even better


These are fantastic idea's as we await the weather to warm up. The Cover of the Transport train / bus / ferry to stay out of the Elements. A Day out to meet new people and all for less than £5 if your not a Pass Owner. There are Various Tickets Available at any station with the only restriction being that you travel after 9:30am



This is a Fantastic opportunity to Relax and make some new friends.
Last Summer i done this on my own to kill some holidays and it would have been much more fun on reflection with friends. Its a great way to get out and were all not too far from a train station or bus stop. You get so much value for money with the saveaway tickets and family tickets. What i was suprised at was for about 4hrs i had a fantastic time. Southport walk around packed lunch and there i was home again in 4hrs but a great day out too. As its been mentioned Bus Train or Ferry this is a great excuse to bring members together on a day out. Free to bail out when ever you like (No on a ferry crossing) but if others want to make it a longer day thats fine. But we can go with each others flow.


I want to put together a Ride out to Southport on Sunday 24th Feb.
The Weather will be what it will be but a great day i'm sure of.

I won't be coming on this one; still too cold. I'll definitely come up for one later in the year.
BTW the Saveaway ticket can be used any time on Saturday/Sunday, it's only weekdays when it's after 9.30.

I vaguely remember when they did a 10p train return trip to Southport.
The crowd coming back numbered 1000's
Anybody know what year it was?
