Look at easybus.co.uk, it's cheap enough and I think it starts at earl's court. Secondly: I'd love to do the trans siberian but I don't have the time. The longest I've done overland is Prague - Vienna (Austria v Ireland) - Munich - Dusseldorf - Dortmund (Dortmund v Hamburg) - Dusseldorf - Brussels - London - Manchester (United v Bayer Leverkusen) - Liverpool - Holyhead - Dublin, in the space of ten days, last September. I don't mind spending that long on trains so I'm sure the trans sib is great fun. I'd fly back, too. That's nothing. I did Dublin-London-Paris-Milan-Venice-Florence-Rome-Naples-Rome-Paris-London-Blackburn-Dublin entirely on trains when I was only a garsún.

Sid looked a fair trip then i saw Blackbum , my question is why in the holy mother feck would you want to stop there for

They don't have to match. Just put in your name as the passenger name but her name as the name on the card.

E.g. this name when I booked:



Just make sure the name on the card is the name put in at the payment stage.

Also, it doesn't matter if the seat reservation displays her name - your ticket will have the seat number so if anyone is sitting in your seat, kick 'em out.

       A few lads I know put use the names of Ireland legends when traveling up for games.   Sitting in the seats of Paul McGrath , Ray Houghton etc all add to the pre match excitement and nerves
