Bit Nosy aren't you?

Erm.... I usually drive but if meets are Midlands/North etc then I would use the train from London.

Can't say how many times I'd use it though depends on when/where etc. Last year I only trained it to the AT meet

Unless I get a lift with someone, I always travel by train to meets.

I always travel to meets and gigs on the train because my mum won't drive long distances and it's just more convenient. It's quite good because the local train goes to a major train station and we can get practically anywhere - although if you don't have a special deal/discount is can be really expensive sometimes.

(the only meet i didn't use the train was the Blackpool meet )

Always travel by train - usually from Manchester Picadilly. (and its usually a complete nightmare)

I use the train to get to virtually all non-London meets.

Let's see .. no meets in Reading so far, and I don't drive...

Yup, I'm another one who travels to all meets by train. I usually make at least one meet per month, though there have been months where there has been three or four.

I probably use the train about 5 or so times a year, usually from Liverpool Lime Street. It's only usually when it's more convenient (ie: cheaper ) than driving, so destinations are usually London (Euston) or Glasgow (Central).

I routinely train down the Cambridge line into London Liverpool St or Tottenham Hale.

for any of those who use crappy useless thetrainline.com there's a new site to buy tickets from that aint connected to virgin train website or trainline and after months and months of trying to find an "available" train and haivng no luck DJ Billy linked me here www.qjump.co.uk and managed to get a ticket for £25 in less then 5 minutes.

highly suggest checking them out.

sorry if i stole any thunder stoo just really mad at trainline and think they should lose all business possible.

Trainline are poo, but isn't qjump run by the even more Evil First Trains group? Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is owned by the guy who actively campaigned to keep Clause 28 in Scotland, using the money he'd made from his bus and train empire? Personally, I don't want my money going to that man...

i havent a clue who ya chatting about which shows how much into my times and aware i am about things around me but this train site is run by GNER (i think)

OK, decided I should double check my facts.

The guy I am referring to is Brian Souter, Chairman of the Stagecoach group. Aside from there Bus companies, they also own South West Trains and 49% of Virgin Trains. Thus they actually are involved in the Trainline website.

QJump is run by the National Express Group, which seems completely seperate.

Brian Souter was a major figure (and sponsor) of the Keep Clause 28 Campaign in Scotland. Clause 28 is a blatantly homophobic law introduced during the Thatcher government.

As such, I'm definitely using QJump from now on!

What I'm looking at also applies to QJump too, so it's all still relevent

so tell us already...
me? impatient? nosey? NEEEEVER!
