Again, Southern Railway buck the the trend and offer bargain basement tickets.We got seats on their fancy trains, which all look like artist's impressions, for just £3.65 for a single to Brighton - the price of an over-priced pint of lager or a pound of mature cheese or Angling Monthly or some cheap caulking product. Likewise we have secured tickets for £3.70 all the way back from Newhaven. The next time I go to Scotland, instead of getting overcharged by Virgin, I'm gonna get the train to Brighton then walk. Remember to reserve your bikes. There is no worse sight than tightly lyrca-clad bodies fighting on a platform over bike spaces.
LD Ferries, also cleverly named as TransManche Ferries, are well priced at £35 return for the luxury of the floor. Add another £50 or so for a four-berth cabin. The only drag is that their sailings are not at great times from the UK. We have opted for the night crossing of 4 hours that arrives 03.30 hundred O'clock hours am local time.
du pain, du rain, du vin.
