Woo can't wait

..to meet more of you guys! I'm now fully rested up from December at MK, and I'm itching to get out again (preferably not quite that far though, it costs me monies I don't have much of

)

Soo.. the next mini meet. It was tentatively scheduled for sometime this month, am I right in thinking some point in the week beginning 24th?

Also, (directed more at Rai this time) when were you planning (roughly) on the south-west meet (cardiff?)

I'm practically hopping about here

does public transport not work where you are?

well yes.. ish...

but at £3 to get into town (if the company doesn't put the prices up like they reckon they are) and a walk to the train station to get the train to doncaster, sheffield or piccdilly to get another train to get to a meet....

so £6 one bus to town and back
£26 for a return to piccadilly which isn't exactly far... (last time i went on it)
however much money on another train to the meet

par example: to get to milton keynes:

Code:

Station 	         Arr 	Dep 	        Travel by 	  Service Provider
 SCUNTHORPE  	    	         06:00  	 Train  	 TRANSPENNINE EXPRESS 
 DONCASTER  	         06:38   06:54  	 Train  	 NATIONAL EXPRESS EAST COAST 
 LONDON KINGS CROSS     08:41   08:41  	 Tube*  	   
 LONDON EUSTON  	 09:17   09:17  	 Train  	 VIRGIN TRAINS 
 MILTON KEYNES CENTRAL  09:47

the price would be a staggering.......

Code:

	        STANDARD OPEN SINGLE   £106.00
	 
		FIRST OPEN SINGLE      £159.00

	        SAVER SINGLE           £82.70

and thats only for singles... cos for some reason return is unavailable

so before i've done anything i've forked out £200+ on transport for the day...

and even if i did the bus would probably crash or brakedown(they always do around here

)
or someone would nick the copper from the signals and i'd end up missing a train...

shusssh, you and your logical ideals

**Agent** · 28-07-2008, 11:49 PM

Even with a YP, that is still extortion

And they tell us to use public transport

Funkstar · 29-07-2008, 07:30 AM

Aberdeen -> London Kings Cross - £35 single. bargain. but thats booking a couple of month is advance.

It was £108 return when I was down a couple of weeks ago, much cheaper than flying and a lot less stressfull

£32 return by coach if you don't mind the 3.5 hr journey time. Always a good option to the trains
