Unfortunately, all Leicester charge these rediculously low prices.

Yes it is. But that would probably be using the M1/M25 route. It is not a bad price provided you have a return pick up as well but what are the chances of that?

Maybe it's quoting £80 per person??? :P

Since, there's two of them it will then be £160, so it's not too bad!

Wouldn't count on it! :lol:
