how long did it take ...... : Tue May 05, 2009 5:20 am  

for you to get home from Edinburgh ?? Doesn`t matter if quick time or long time

we left by car from Murrayfield (we managed to park-up in un-restricted street maybe 10 mins walk away) at 9pm dead and arrived home 12.10pm after non-stop drive : cross country on Biggar road then usual motorway

so 3hrs 10mins door-to-door

ps : the park & ride facilities to / from Murrayfield after match were a joke (every 30 mins) we waited 45 mins on Saturday and when we boarded bus there were perhaps 200 people also waiting behind us., good planning by Edinburgh City Council !!!

If I go again, think I will fly. Went up on Sunday morning in 3h 15mins, but it took 5 1/2 hours to get back yesterday due to traffic on the M6 near Lancaster. Trouble with flying though is that the car parking / taxi at other end adds to the cost.

About 5 and a half hours due to that awful traffic past Lancaster. Grrrr!

There was a bus every 10 minutes straight the airport that takes you past the stadium and right into the city centre. I'd certainly fly again, thought it was great for the price (I paid £38 one-way).

4 hours both ways. Left at 11am Monday though.

Left Edinburgh at 10am and got back to Stoke for 6pm.

Took a chance & went on the A702 instead of the M8. 4 hours both ways. As for parking I parked on St. James place undercover at the price of £16 which was 4 days for the price of one.
