How much is it going by submarine?

7 years in the navy

If you go the quickest way on the early Kings Cross train (0601) on the Friday but the price is ridiculous. You'd arrive in Toulouse around half 7 in the evening their time though.

Friday is also dearer for Eurostar but this below so this was the the best I could find pricewise. (Based on March 5th as prices for 19th not available yet)

1040 Leeds-King Cross arr 1310
1502 St Pancras-Paris Gare du Nord arr 1917 (local time)
2256 Paris Austerlitz-Toulouse Matabiau arr 0643 Saturday morning.

This cost just short of £90 but two thirds of that was the Eurostar because they seem to double their prices for the weekend.

Not sure if anyone's posted this but it worked out cheapest for some last year flying in to Carcassone then about a half hour train ride in to Toulouse.

yeah thats what i have priced and it is cheapest option.

Looked at flights last night and we can get flights from Bristol - Toulouse, Toulouse - Bristol, flying out Friday and back on Sunday with easyjet, for less than £91 for two people, which seems pretty cheap. Of no use to anyone else I realise that, hope you can all get it sorted be it train or plane.

If you can bothered to get to Southampton I think it's even cheaper. But again, I'm going off last season.

Anyone seriously think it would be a good idea to get a coach sorted? Probably about 24 hours on the coach or something, but surely it would be a good laugh with the help of alcohol all the way?

I think a train trip sounds like a laugh, making it a two-night away trip (saturday/sunday nights). SC, I presume that rough price you quoted was a return?

Single i'm afraid.

Keighley to London about £15

Eurostar £60

Paris to Toulouse £15 (provided you don't want a bed on the sleeper train.)

This would drop to around £60 if you left on Thursday as Eurostar is cheaper.

Other thing to bear in mind is you wouldn't have to travel as light as on a low cost airline who'll charge a tenner a pop just to check a bag on not to mention all the other charges they sneak in.

It's not a two week holiday , it's only a RL match , how many clothes do you need

Loyalfan, where did u get your info? I'm not doubting it, I'm just not very good at trawling t'interweb!
I take it it's a flight from E.Midlands to Carcassonne, a train to Toulouse, and back the same way?
Do they go at an appropriate time of year, as everything else seems to start just after our game.
I suspect an RFL conspiracy to keep us away...

Mick,

I went this year to watch Fax over there from East Midlands - Carcassone (Even though am die hard Cougar LOL).

So went on Ryan air website and all things are same as last year when went you fly on the friday morning returning on the monday morning, then you get a 5 min bus ride to carcassone train station then 30min train ride to Toulouse.

I Stayed in IBIS and will do when we go next year, it is close to the Irish bars and centre.

It is awesome weekend.

COME ON COUGARS

Cheers LF, that makes it a three-night trip?
Hmm, might have trouble sneaking that one past my 'financial advisor'...
Ah well, plenty of time yet!
