    so...how likely is it that there exist enough UKRM underground railway
    "stations" with cars-n-towbars so as to be able to get a bike trailer
    from Bradford to Enfield?

    indeed, but you don't get if you don't ask.
    well, the guy will deliver it "at cost", but I've no idea what a
    reasonable "cost" for a return trip to Enfield from Bradford would
    actually be. I quick mappy-assisted estimate would be about 40-50
    quid's worth of Petrol alone.

    I might be able to get it some of the way, certainly to Nottingham/East
    Midlands Airport/Donington Park area this Sunday ... if someone can get it
    from Bradford to Doncaster first.

    That'll be ~£50 in petrol.

    400 miles, 7 hours.

    Prolly best to let matey deliver it 'at cost'.

    probably right.

    it's annoying, because it's the first trailer in decent nick that I've
    seen available for reasonable money - they're usually expensive and/or
    shite.

    I suppose I could get the two-bar fitted and then persuade the SO that
    a weekend in Harrogate would be nice.

    I know - it was the first "not totally shit place near to Bradford"
    that I could think of.

    regularly travel to those areas.

    It's full of snobs & wankers mind you, Leeds is a top place, really
    smart now. Closer too.

    details.

  18. If it can be made to divert to Sunny Essex, I have a couple of gas
    bottles of the HOOGE variety that need to get back to Steph.
