Change at Kilwinning, the curve a direct train would take is a comparative rarity.<br /><br />If you are likely to use any other trains, buses, or less likely, the Kilcreggan or Renfrew ferries that day, then you will likely be better off with an £11.60 SPT Daytripper.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-58826156455683990062016-06-06T09:28:52.706+01:002016-06-06T09:28:52.706+01:00Thanks Tom, you'd def win BRAPA person of the ...Thanks Tom, you'd def win BRAPA person of the year if your liver came into play.<br /><br />Wanting to go from Ayr to Largs.

If you have any specifics you are wondering about ticket wise, feel free to ask. If the aforementioned 'Spoons are nearer central Glasgow, a roundabout may also be worthy of consideration and is fun to ask for.<br /><br />Datchet and Eton I'd get a cheap day return from Finsbury Park to Windsor Riverside for £9.90 with your Nitwit card unless there is something else glaringly obvious. Allow lots of time to get back to Kings X.<br /><br />I've emailed separately for Atherton, Astley etc.<br /><br />If I am a match, when you need it I am happy to donate part of my liver to give some functionality. Alternatively, if I die at the right time you can have the whole thing.
