He, he.....Definitely your 2000 km WIZZ flight from Liverpool to Cluj would take less time than my 500 km journey by train from Book-a-Rest to Cluj (been there last month - 9h15'
).
Back to the game: CFR
P.S. 2 options again depending on what's on your mind: railways or football.

Railways
LPL - CLJ by train is around 40 hours and the ticket for the bit from Liverpool to London costs more than the Wizzair flight. If I ever go to Transylvania, I'm flying!
Football
0 - 0 away in the first leg isn't a bad result!

A standard class open return ticket (out & back on any train) with Avanti from Manchester to London is £369.40 for the 315 km (2h 10m) journey. You can do it for £150 if you book in advance for specific off-peak trains, but you can't change the train you're booked on for a different one. There are other operators that are cheaper but you're looking at 4+ hours & two trains each way. Liverpool to London has the same operators and roughly the same prices.
Back to topic:
Hobson's
(Hobson's choice is a peculiar English expression - you may need to Google it to find the meaning, if you haven't heard it before)

Gypsy vegetables/fruits seller in absurdistani markets.
( Hobson's choice- he doesn't allow you to pick up stuff, you'll buy only what he puts in your bag - usually a lot of rotten stuff )
Big opportunity for McLaren tomorrow. They can take the constructor lead and put a dent into Verstapen lead. I heard a rumor at work that Perez is out after Mexico.
