Getting to Carlisle?

Anyone know the cheapest way to get to Carlisle from Newcastle?

Plane (they have an airport apparently), Train or Automa-Bus?

Im at work all day, and the tickets need to be booked by tonight, so any help would be greatly apreciated.

Ta.

train from newcastle, takes about an hour and probs costs about £8 return or something, they leave from platform 7 every hour

www.thetrainline.com

How do you make it that cheap?

On that site, its coming up as about £20 return and the GNER site is no better.

theres a route 685 from eldon square bus, but id hate to think how long that takes

i no its illegal but hitchhike

Drive - Easy as I do it every week.
Bus - Takes a long while
Train - It is about 15-20 return if I remember correctly
Plane - Cost To much

I sincerely doubt there are any flights from Newcastle to Carlisle! You'd have barely taken off before you had to land again - it would only be about a 15 minute flight.

@ flying to Carlisle from Newcastle.

is there an airport at carlisle?

Yep. problys just a wide street or summat.

The cheapest i can find is a £14.50 return from Newcastle.

Is this about right?

walk

there is actually an airport at carlisle but i think its just for private light aircraft and that sort of thing

There are going to be about 5 flights a day to London when it's up and running proper

5 flights a day?

:spangled:

apparently so, they'll be commercial but small aircraft

Cycle!
