Hello all,
I have taken up road miles recently diverting from rail miles, a much MUCH cheaper way to rack it up especially when all I need is a £7 South West ticket or £7.50 Wiltshire Day Rover (which would take me as far as Oxford if I wanted to!)
Am I probably the only one in this planet who is taking this up? I have actually set up another RailMiles account, james33417 (33417 being the best E400 Trident I've been on so far) and here is the link:
http://james33417.railmiles.org/
So far, over 1,000 miles from April to July, and I hope to have another First Day South West trip (or maybe a Wilts Day Ranger, can't decide yet!) on Friday, though I may take up a Stagecoach pass and head to Oxford, but I don't know if I can get one that will cover me to Oxford and beyond.
Oh, and if you are wondering, the mileage is worked out from Google Maps, and there is maybe .1 of a mile missing here and there, so it's a rough estimate (mainly as some routes don't pass through one way systems that the bus uses, so I have to split the route search in half and add up the miles).
Anyone else wish to join in? Maybe we could have another mileage league!
Cheers,
James.
