    Trying to organise a trip to an England game at Wembley with the village kids football teams.
    Just been quoted c.£900 for 38 of us travelling the from south of Cambridge to Wembly and back.

    That's roughly £23.50 for a 120 mile round trip, seems very pricey to me. Looked on Barnsley website and they want £27 to Millwall and back 380 mile round trip. (couldn't see the Wembley one).

    Anyone know how much we ought to be aiming for?
    Thanks,

    When I used to organise trips for my class, coaches used to charge school between £350-£500 (depending on time of year, company, availability etc.) to take us from Bradford into Leeds, 9am pick up and 3pm drop off (whether they had to stay during that time or not) for a 70 seater. I'd imagine London prices would be far higher and I think the school got a discount for using them regularly.
