How much would a taxi from Nottingham to Leamington (60+ miles) cost?

Jeff how come your going back to Leamington?

 

[fludie]

You've obviously missed my earlier post. This is not the closest to the ground. You are looking at a good 40 minute walk to this hotel from the ground, and you will pass atleast two hotels on the way.

What you probably meant was .... Nottingham Central Travelodge is one of the cheapest hotels near the ground :icon_wink ..... which if you discount some of the drab B&B's in and around West Bridgford, you are correct. Rooms still available for £39 !!

That is what i put Nottingham Central Travelodge didnt I

Well i booked a room there, is 5-10 mins away from the ground cost me £26 as i booked last week.:icon_bigg

Yes by car....

I'm not. :icon_roll

I was trying to prove Melton wrong. He said a taxi would be cheaper than a hotel, you're the only person in this thread who has said they're staying in Nottingham, so a taxi obviously wouldn't be cheaper for you.

 

[Nottingham Fox]

Yes by car....

Correct.

I've tried telling him, so have you. It aint sinking in. Let him suffer

Correct.

It will sink in him eventually im sure.

Yes by car...

5-10 mins walk they said to me on the phone, may have to get a £3 taxi then

 

[Nottingham Fox]

5-10 mins walk

You are deluded.

 

[fludie]

You are deluded.

Travelodge must be lying them

Il mayeb walk it then only 35 mins or taxi would cost £3.

It's slightly less than 1.7 miles if you walk by the most direct route. But certainly not 5-10 minutes walk.


Did you not look at a map before booking?

You might struggle to get a taxi outside/around the ground.

I am sure i will be able to get one from the hotel to the game

 

[fludie]

Which pub we all planning to go to then?

 

[Fox Fan]

I am sure i will be able to get one from the hotel to the game

I imagine you will need to get back to the hotel after the match though?

I live in devon, so a taxi might be a bit pricey!
It's all sorted now, can't make it a day trip because last train out of Leicester is at 7.
So getting a train to leicester, foxes travel to nottingham and back. Staying in Leicester because I know my way around ok, then the train back in the morning.......
only trouble is I don't know where my travelodge is or how to get to it!!! don't know leicester that well!

which Travelodge Joe?

There is only two I think of. Both are easy to get to and identifiable.

If i take down the number and order one before the game to a certain place outside the ground im sure it will be ok.

There's one on Vaughan Way.

According to their site, the next nearest one is in Markfield.
