Come to think of it, I wonder why Neil hasn't organised a "special" space shuttle, or perhaps a "special" harrier jet.
Becuase my little motorised friend the last time i checked the Jump Jet holds just 2 and the Shuttle well, its not really going in that direction is it ?.
I would have thought that Northern Rail are missing a trick here, Could have organised just one train from Halifax to Blackpool and Leigh to Blackpool, Wouldn't be expensive, would be great advertising and no doubt would be packed to the rafter with likeminded fans wanting fun, Ticket only and direct route.

For goodness sake, how complicated it must be to order a special train, how many carriages does Neil book to start with.
There is a train from Halifax every hour at 07 past the hour starting at 09.07 it takes approx 1hr 30 mins. There are two trains back after the game.

Northern Rail have organised 'special' trains in the past as they ran one in 2006 from Bolton to Blackpool when we were there against Hull KR, and again in 2008 from Eccles to Blackpool when Salford were there. Not sure if they've scrapped it in recent years though.

Sounds like a porn advert. (so i'm told)

The Space Shuttle is being decommissioned, so thats out, and it only lands at certain air strips anyway due to the length of runway required, I dont think its replacement is due online for sometime yet either, I will contact ESA though and see if any Arianne Rockets are available, im not sure if they have the capacity for even a NRC qualifier though, and we probably have to catch a flight or train enroute to its launch pad, so that leaves us with, Coach, Car, Walking, Cycling, Hovercraft or Hot Air Balloon. I mean Trains? what were we thinking

I"m flying to Blackpool from Barton Aerodrome. I have space on one wing left if anyone's interested. You have to provide your own safety harness and sign a disclaimer.

My husband might just take you up on that as he was going to go on his Sedgeway but thought the battery would run down around Chorley and I don`t think anyone has a plug there.
YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.
