gina2007 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hi Does anyone have any idea on how i'd get to newquay? Truro? OR St Austell? Ive had a quick look on the net, and flights are around £40-£60 return BUT the taxes arent then incl, baggage isn't either, and nor is insurance! All in all im looking at £100+ Trains are wanting £120+ one way I HAVE to get down there on Friday (24th) and return the monday, (28th) Can anyone please recommend any sites for trains/flights websites? OR is anyone going down and returning on these dates? And have a spare seat in their car? And room for just one small holdall? I HAVE to get down there on these dates so any advice/websites or anything.. its all welcomed! Im pretty much desperate, need to see a family member who's life support is getting turned off on the saturday. Im praying they pull through til I get there, but I cant take my son and only have a sitter for the above dates. I can't afford over £100 either! It's just too much at such short notice! Not bothered about the 'class' or anything, just aslong as I get there. Been up all night searching and not found much! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 32 minutes to cross St Pancras, you should be fine (unless you have a serious limp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
