Ride-Share

I have to find a way for the two of us to get from London to York and back again.  The simplest way seems like the train, right?  The problem with the train is that... well why take the train if we can catch a ride with a stranger?  Seems logical.  Now before you all start freaking out, don't worry.  I don't plan on hooking up a ride with some whack-job through Craig's list.  There are people who do this sort of thing regularly.  They have to drive somewhere far and would enjoy the company, the companionship, the conversation, or maybe just the shared expenses.

First I looked up trains from London to York and then had the brilliant idea to look up rideshares.  I found one site that has all sorts of people looking for a ride or looking for someone who needs a ride.  I came across one ad that says, My filing cabinet needs a lift from Torquey to London. and this got me thinking about all those movies we've seen where someone ends up riding in the back of the truck with the herd of sheep, or the tons of potatoes, or the piles of fertilizer, or worse...

Maybe a train is a better idea.
