I'm just wondering because trainline says from Wolverhampton, I have to go to reading then take a bus.

My other half has plans to go from Bedford, which will mean me travelling to that parts of the woods the night before, but it all seems very convoluted... I'm hoping to be a bad environmentalist and persuade him to take the van. I think it will be cheaper too.

Bloomin' holiday engineering works!!!
Donna;

I booked the tickets awhile ago to get them cheaper, then found out about the works on the line.

Train from Stafford to Birmingham International, then bus to Northampton, then train to Euston, then tube out to Heathrow. Not too bad, but coming back the Monday is a killer. Not travelling alone thankfully. Glasgow two years ago was horrible. Two plus hours on a packed bus from Glasgow to Carlisle, then a stop start train. Took me over 7 hours to get home.
