To be honest these guys saved me a hell of a lot of money this weekend. \n\nSo its Sunday, its 4pm, I am in Newcastle and its the end of a wild stag weekend. \n\nMe and my partner in crime Kev have been back on the booze since 12pm and are well feeling relaxed. \n\nWe go to the station to get the tickets and without thinking go to get through the barriers, my ticket doesn't work but a nice girl waves me through and then Kev tries and is denied. We then look at the tickets and it become clear he has booked us tickets from Edinburgh to Newcastle and not vice versa. \n\nBeing very apologetic we are told to talk to the train guard and to run to platform 3. So we get there and right enough an east cost train is there.....BUT .....there is also one on platform 4. We glance at the boars and see Edinburgh 4. So dash to platform 4 and off we go. \n\nWe dump our bags and make a beeline for the catering bar. 2 x stella = \u00a35 = winner! We make a joke to the girl serving us about bothering all the way home....... she then points out we are on the London train NOT the Edinburgh train. OOOOPPS! \n\nA very amused train guard tells us to get off at Darlington and switch to the next train. \n\nThankfully the next guard also sees the funny side and we got back to Edinburgh 3 hours late, several many stellas down but with no extra tickets prices! \n\nThank you east Coast trains!! :D
