But 25 quid for London Stoke on trent booking 4 weeks in advance is
not cheap! London Exeter which is an even longer journey has rail
fares under 10 quid that far in advance, and only 15 quid for this
friday, so I've got to agree that there aren't cheap fares on the
stoke on trent route - and needing to book 4 weeks ahead to be cheaper
than taking a car is ludicrous.
