Carpooling to London!

[Skinfull]

I see a lot of people are travelling from all over the UK and I also noticed there are a bunch of us hiring cars and what not, so can I start a tread to compile all the carpooling options available?

Myself and Jackass are flying in via Leeds and have room in out back seat for 2 (comfortably) or 3 (bit of a squish for that length of a journey).

Should be in London by noon on Sat and leaving London between 10 and 11 on Sunday.

These are our flights if anyone is on them already then lets join forces on the trek to London.

GOING OUT
From Dublin T1 (DUB) to Leeds Bradford (LBA)
Sat, 19May12 Flight FR 152 Depart DUB at 06:40 and arrive LBA at 07:40

COMING BACK
From Leeds Bradford (LBA) to Dublin T1 (DUB)
Sun, 20May12 Flight FR 153 Depart LBA at 16:00 and arrive DUB at 16:55

How much is the rental working out at? the Leeds flights are not too pricey (thought I'd checked every airport) but the trains are a bugger.

How do you mean? It works out at £94.10 return using the trainline.co.uk (out on Friday back to Leeds on Sunday) which is alright by UK standards. Not cheap I'll admit. However, you might try splitting the journey - it can work out a bit cheaper to do this rather than buy a ticket direct to London.
