Well, I was planning on just catching the train on Friday and back on Sunday, but if anyone wants to meet up on the train, or to pick me up and drive me there, then I'm more than game!

I'm driving up from nr Northampton, so if there's anyone near me I might be able to pick you up and we can split petrol. I'll be coming up on Saturday (fresh from getting these manky blonde roots done) and back sometime on Sunday (depends on alcohol induced coma 
)

I'm hopefully getting a lift up from Cambs via a mate on the Friday night (otherwise I'll have to find something else!!) and maybe grabbing a lift back with Cordy *bats eyelashes*

I am getting the train up from London on the Friday. If I am not working that day (Probably won't be) then I will be making a day of it and looking around the city during the day, anyone else fancy a friday shopping trip, meal etc.

I've also got Friday off work and will be catching a train from London at some point on that day. So meeting up with people sounds cool! And I'll try not to lose anyone this time!
Posted: 10:57 Jul 18 2002 Yeah, right!

Posted: 10:58 Jul 18 2002 It wasn't my fault, honest guv! We were getting vital supplies and you went to the wrong station!

Yeah, right!

train, unless yvonne wants to give me a lift if i can get to where she is, but i really don't think she could stand having me in the car and it may be cheaper by train agter getting a train to northampton, so i'll meet train people if they like on the friday.

*Ahem!* I got on the train at the station we were already at, that got me to Sheffield a good hour or so before you and Byron, who decided to walk to another station with beer bought with my money!
Wrong station my...

I can't believe I'm about to say this, I really must be turning into a nice person...
SPIKE if you get stuck, but can get to Northampton station on the Saturday I can pick you up from there and take you up to the hotel and back again. Seeing as I won't be going out of my way to get you or drop you off, you won't need to pay petrol but you WILL need to be travelling when I am - obviously

OK, if anyone is travelling on the Friday, on the Paddington (13.33) to Birmingham (15.39) route, then I'll be catching it at Reading at 14.08.
So who's for upgrading from scaring poor tube travellers to scaring train travellers?

I've just checked approx taxi prices from Birmingham New Street to the Hotel and its gonna be about £10. The closest train station to the hotel is Stetchford, but it'll cost about £8 to get a taxi from there so there's not much difference really.
Is anyone going to be arriving at Birminhgham at around 9pm on the Friday night so i can share a taxi with them?

13.33 from paddington sounds do-able, *Gopher wonders if getting a train at the right time is actually possible as Gopher cannot get anywhere on time. Time is always wrong and the world needs to reset its clocks to gopher time.*
Posted: 16:06 Jul 18 2002
Syd, I'm sure someone mentioned a closer station than those two on Saturday, but I'm sure someone will provide full details on the best way to get there by train.
Unless I'm being my usual dense self and this info has already been sent out...
And Gopher - so know what you mean. However, if the world was reset to Jayjay time I'm pretty sure I'd still be late. Not that I'll be late next Friday...
