Car Pool?

Ladies and Gentlemen...
So Norwich is a long drive from the North West, and trains are extortionate.
Would anyone be interested in getting a lift with me to cut costs? My plan is either to leave Friday evening or v. early Saturday morning, and return Sunday morning. I'm coming from Chester, and would probably do this route: http://goo.gl/maps/EOXB5
(Happy to do this one http://goo.gl/maps/NKqIl if needed)
So if anyone isn't put off by the prospect of modern country music (although I would allow whoever sits in the front to take control of the music at times..!) let me know.
I'm on twitter @LiterallyLowe too, just so you can see I'm a real person and not a goblin.
Yet.

I would have taken you up on this offer maybe (I live in Birkenhead) but I already have expensive non-refundable trains booked! I'm also going to Knightmare Live on the Friday.

I too am in your area - Wallasey - but alas have also booked train and accomodation now. Worked out £70 return for two straight through trains from Liverpool Lime Street.
I am leaving on the 8.52am on the Friday getting into Norwich at 14.13 if you are interested

The train I'm getting is from Chester, then through to London, then to Norwich (I think). That's what redspottedhanky suggested anyway I didn't even know trains went to London from Chester. Also: you got trains that went straight to Norwich? I have to change a ridiculous amount of times at different stations, I think. Here's my itinerary:

I just looked out of curiosity; £70 direct from Liverpool, or £80 from Chester. According to Journey Price, it'll cost between £65-£80 in fuel for the trip - which reinforces my desire to drive, otherwise I wouldn't be back until around 6pm on the Sunday!
The offer to drive still remains - per the route, I'm happy to pick up along it, doesn't have to be from the Chester-area!

Evidently the convention should have been organised while most of us still had a Young Person's Railcard.
Wishing everyone safe journeys.
