Guest Richie M Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Hi guys, thought it'd be helpful for some people to share travel plans/cost so if you'd like to please post here saying where your travelling from and how, then hopefully some of us can hook up lifts etc :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Just south of Norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrwich :lol: P
Guest Richie M Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 I thought it was prounced "Naaaarrrrrwich" :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Well, i'm not from here you see... P
Guest Richie M Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Firaas are you driving or getting train?
Guest Firaas Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Firaas are you driving or getting train? Train sir! Not _hugely_ expensive (although it is a bit) - £42 from Stoke-on-Trent!
Guest siu99spj Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I must be mad. I seem to be the only one coming from down South! :( Actually started life as a northerner, well, middler is more acurate, Dudley (Dudloy :mrgreen: ). But joys of the job now mean its more like Epsom (Ewell actually, but no-one has EVER heard of that, even people who live round here!). :lol: Basically, I be getting the train from Ewell East (Yep a village which is less than a street has 2 stations! ;) ) to Victoria and, originally, straight to the meet. But if people are planning on pre-drinking fun (Which I'm all for, even though I can nowadays barely afford :D ), just let me know where and when. I can get to any part of London, and back again, and round a couple of times for less than a fiver :D (I think it's £3.60)! (Admittedly via tube but...) So, where we be meeting and when. At least then we can all get lost trying to find the 'M$ (Sorry P, force of habit :oops: ) place in Soho'. Oh, I'll be the one who, apparently, looks nothing like a fried cat :lol: , but somewhat like Harry Potter. :? Si 8)
Guest Gorskar Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I'm A Manchester Person Also. If someones going to be driving in that direction, and I could cut costs by sharing fuel cost then I might go. At the moment though its looking a bit too expensive for me a poor student to make it. £33 return train fare :lol:
Guest Richie M Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I'm in the same(ish) boat Gorskar, thats why i started this thread - in the hope that someone from round here or going past (Stoke) was driving we could split the costs - i'm skint, don't get paid till Tuesday :lol: if only the meet was the following weekend :roll:
Guest Will Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 OK people, my plans are as follows!

Guest Richie M Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I've just been looking at train cost and time £41.80 return :| What time were most people arriving London & leaving; it's cheapest (i believe) to book tickets in advance and i really wanna come :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 See above... I'm sure people will be around until the last train home :lol: P
Guest Richie M Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I havent confirmed a place at the event Paul, will I be OK coming at this late notice (if i can raise the funds)?
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Anyone can turn up at the door, all you need to get in is your SmartPhone mobile :lol:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 Yep, if you've got a MS phone, you're welcome! You know the secret password to whisper through the letterbox though right? :lol: P
Guest Emad Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 I'm coming from Walthamstow - anyone want to split the cost of a travelcard? Oh, wait.. :lol: See y'all there..
