Never to the dark side Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Easy jet have pushed there Bristol to Newcastle flight on Saturday mornings out to 12:35pm arriving at 13:40pm. It would then be a fifty mile dash to get there for 3pm. So it looks like a overnight stay in Middlesbrough on Saturday night. Not keen on going up and back in one day which will include coming back via London Hoping it will be worth it after putting in all that effort to get there,and back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 East Coast Mainline is closed all that weekend John you seriously don't want to go there or back via London. I resisted the obvious return flight gags 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked a week or so ago and there is a flight to and from Exeter with Loganair. However, it was nearly £300 return each. As much as I love an aaway jolly. That ain't happening!!

Never to the dark side Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Ole Thanks for the head up,you can get back to London as the services are going into St Pancras or Kings Cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Cross includes a rail replacement coach from Grantham to Bedford so 3 trains and a bus in total from Middlesbro. St. Pancras would mean several changes to route via Sheffield. Both are 4-5 hours rather than around 3 on a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London to Manchester, Manchester to Middlesbrough on two separate tickets works that day. It’s a long time on trains, with an early start and a late return to Euston, but it’s doable.
