I didn't say taxi, I said Airpot Taxis, which are exactly that. A fixed price to ride to a london airport. To be fair though, I wouldn't expect you to have them where you live as that's madness.
Less than 2 hours away from London, they are very common place and cost as little as £70. Probably the same price as his trainfair but without the hassle of lugging his stuff from north london train station to south london on the tube,
So, yeah, I did read it. Thanks though, you made my day

No, it is £32.80 and there is a train leaving Northampton at 09:05.
If he wishes to leave in the morning peak, at say 07:05, he can do it for £36.40. Why does he need an Open Return? He has said nothing about returning - he is going to meet his family, why would he then want to return to a hotel he had a works do at before he left? He's not going to want to go back to the same place, is he.
These are both walkon fares as well, there is no need to book in advance. He specifically asked for the cheapest way not the least hassle and frankly getting across central London with the sort of baggage you can check into a budget airline is hardly taxing.
You are wrong, get over it.

yawn
The standard rates for walk on fares are here, and this includes an anytime return if he so wishes.
2 seperate fares either way are going to cost almost exactly the same, and clearly you've never tried to get across London at what could be rush hour. It can take upwards of two hours.
So, er, get over it

He didn't ask for a return! He is at a hotel for a works do. He wants to get from here to the Airport to join his family in Cyprus.
Why is he then going to want to return to the hotel at a later date? Are they going to be holding another works do for him on his return date?
He's probably going to be leaving Northampton at about 9-10ish anyway so won't be traversing London at rush hour at all.
Even if he was returning thats 2 £70 airport taxi's at £140 so it's STILL twice the money.
You are wrong, please try again to get over it.

This is true, so in fairness, more information is needed before anyone can give the ultimate internet prize for cheapness.
If he is at a works doo in Northampton, it is fair to say he works there and may live there (or north london area at best). It also says he is meeting his family. That doesn't necessarily suggest they are on holiday, but may live there.
Who knows!
Fancy that Lucero. Who'd have thought it
More info was not required because frankly it was pretty obvious
So, £20 train ride or £70 taxi

twaddle. Im with Fox on this one. Many companies go to works dos either down south, north or even in other countries. I'm based in Leeds with a few offices around London
To make it clear - I want a Single ticket to Gatwick from the Hellidon Lakes hotel in Northhampton on 11th September sometime in the morning (to get to gatwick around 11am) I need to get from the hotel though, as the hotel isnt in Northhampton train station!
