Looks like I'm collecting a car in Manchester next Sunday.....
Trains are a complete nightmare, taking several hours from Cardiff, so I've been looking at flying from Cardiff to Liverpool airport (it's not much more expensive than a train, ffs!)
However, I can't seem to find an easy way to get from Liverpool Airport to Manchester.
Any suggestions?
Anyone want to pick me up and take me to Manchester in exchange for beer tokens?
Flight arrives at 3pm......
Cheers,
Airlink bus to Hunts Cross (every 30 minutes), takes a few minutes, then train to Manchester Oxford Road (every 30 minutes), takes an hour or so.
Oh you said Sunday. Oh well, there goes that idea. :P
Hitch hike.
Let us know how you get on :o)
Where is pete M when you need him lol, I live to far away otherwise I would try to help out. Tell the guy your situation and get him to meet you at liverpool airport with a mate in another car to take him back or summit.

Gimme a shout, I'll give you a lift no problem.
Might be a non-issue, 'cos my brother has just volunteered to pick me up from Cardiff.
If it falls through I'll give you a shout, though.
Cheers
Try EasyJet! You can probably fly direct or go via Liverpool. Or get a train as they are not that bad.
Charter a helicopter.
Sorry I can't do Sunday... :)
Sunday engineering works mean a train is a nogo, as they just put on a replacement bus that really goes arround the houses. Especially the Manchester to Liverpool line, I know for definate that the Liverpool to manchester trains are at least part replaced by busses.
Steve,
drop me a line...mr_miaow at ntworld dot com. I don't mind having a drive out on Sunday.. give us some beer or diesel tokens!
take it easy mikep
Looks like I've solved it - my brother's coming down to pick me up.
PeteM is the backup plan.
Thanks anyway.
Shame it wasn't tomorrow. I'm delivering at an industrial estate right next to John Lennon Airport and going home past Manchester.
Feck sake, i ask can someone pop into a local VX dealer and no joy, you get people offerin to drive you round the country :-P
Is this the Alfa V6 you were going on about? It it yellow? With a black stripe down the side?
Yeah, I thought it odd that nobody had asked what car it was.
Yeah but you don't have dozens of people lining up to punch you. ;)
