What is the best/easiest way to get to Slough from Newcastle (upon-Tyne) via public transport?

I need to go and collect my new (to me) F-PACE SVR sometime as the Jag dealership are refusing to deliver. Their excuse is something about them not being allowed to due to distance selling rules even though their website said and still says that they do a delivery service.

I've already paid a deposit and I have been accepted for the finance through JLR finance.

To be honest I really can't be chewed with the 5 hour+ drive back, I only went ahead with the deal as I thought I could have got it delivered. :(

Basically they want me to come to the dealership to complete the sale so I don't think sending a 3rd party collection company will work.

I do assume them using the "distance selling" line as a way to get out of their obligations and not because they are "not allowed" to.

I fully expected to pay them to deliver it, I wasn't expecting them to deliver it for free.

I'm just pee'd off at them saying they can't deliver "thems the rules" when their website still says they can deliver, yep it's Jardines. If they moved it up to Manchester then that would be easier but I doubt they would as the guy am dealing with will prob miss out on his commission.

There is a Stratstone JLR in Newcastle ready for any future snags tho :cool:

Yeah I didn't buy it online specifically to get distance selling rights. If it had been nearer I would have happily gone and collect it.
 
Now they want me to jump on a train tomorrow and they'll refund me the train ticket cost.

I assume they are desprate to have the deal done before the end of the month/quarter. :D

This could have all been sorted if they had delivered it already...
