Calling All People Who Can Get To England This Summer!

I need to get to Swansea from Newport aswell

I need to get to Swansea from Newport aswell

Newport's on a direct line to Paddington, it's under 2 hours.

Meeting at Paddington is fine though, it's 3 hours from Swansea so it's only fair.


Quick edit, why doesn't Stella take the train from Swansea and meet you at Newport? It's an hour away on the same train you would get on anyway, just she gets on it some stops earlier.

Punisher no offence but isn't that terribly backwards?
Lol I mean cos the Swansea train stops at Newport anyway,
so why can't Stella go on the train at Swansea and you meet her on the same train in Newport?

Edit: LMAO same thoughts as Scott!

Lol I edited a second time before I saw your post too.

 

[Punisher]

Yes, i'm retarded

 

[lonewolf]

oh wow stella does have a point.. if its 3.5 hrs for them and only 1.45 for bluey and lonewolf...

well yes Paddington would make more sense.
i really hope stella and punisher do come.
well i think stella should email bluey and you'll can decide what is best.

I agree we do need to decide, what we're doing and where we're meeting... total travel time for me would be 3 hours, its 2 from manchester and i need an hour to get there..

To me it makes more sense for 2 groups to meet at either station,, whatevers easiest and quickest and then we all meet at wherever it is we're going... we could say all meet in St James Park, by the gates.. we all take each others mobiles(or at the very least a rep from each group) .. to let each other know where we're upto.

It doesnt make much sense to me, for me to double back on myself, arriving at Euston, going to Paddington and then coming back on ourselves visiting whatever. Or for Punisher's group to come to Euston side first.

Can i make a suggestion?

Punisher's group arrives at paddington -- they take the Circle / District line to St James Park / Westminster.

Our group (those arriving at Euston) will take the Northern Route Line to Warren Street and then the Victoria Line down to St James Park, Suggesting we all meet in the park at the gates nearest buckingham palace. ?

 

[Bluey]

I have no clue what station is best for me as I have not checked. I was just waiting to see where everyone else's was going be for I booked the tickets. I have NP with Paddington station. I well take your word for it that that one is the better one for me.

I have no clue how trains work. I think I only took one once and that was years ago and only a short journey. So the hole thing is all new to me. 1 hour and 45 minutes don't seem to bad to London through. It would take over 3 hours in the car.

Sounds good to me Lonewolf... I think

 

[Bluey]

Ye apparently kings cross is easier for me to get to so a friend who users the trains all the time just told me.

I am going to find out tomorrow which one is best for me.

 

[Scott]

Bluey - you're be on the same line as me (I get on at Loughborough). You arrive into Kings Cross / St. Pancras (literally right across the road from each other).

To be honest this is all a bit of a non issue cos it's so quick and easy to get anywhere in central London on the Tube.

 

[Bluey]

That's cool. Be even cooler if we end up on the same train then

 

[Nibiru]

LOL PUNISHER! Why would you have to get to Swansea first lmfao

By the way we're looking at £48:00 return ticket if we book in advance, unless you want to get the megabus up there which will cost us a pound each way but is 4 hours long and the bus is usually late.

 

[jales]

Okay so in that case everyone will be meeting where it makes most sense for them to meet. I really dont know names of anywhere in London. Lonewolf I will meet with you.. probably at the same place where we met last time. Was that King's Cross...?

We will talk on msn hopefully to finalize that. If it's King's Cross then Bluey and Scott, and me and Oceanmist and AirBug and anyone else who prefers this station will meet there.

I guess the result therefore is that Bluey you can get which ever ticket makes most sense and we will meet you.. at whatever train station.

Well with that being the case I think 12pm is a bit late. but then maybe not since the traveling distances are so far. I hope we can all find each other by at least 1pm (or 12:30pm).. or earlier.
Don't worry though. I think we will have fun reguardless!

So how many people are going to Paddington.. 3 so far right? And most likely this station is convenient for others as well. We will see.

 

[jales]

woah 48 pounds is a lot.

you can pay 2 pounds for a ride that cost 48 pounds in a train?

 

[Bluey]

Cool. I well hopefully get tickets to kings cross station then and hopefully be there by 11am. That's the plan anyway lol. Always good to have a plane even if it don't go to plan. Gives ye something to aim for.

 

[lonewolf]

Brilliant.. with Bluey heading to Kings Cross..his group will be one stop before Euston... i think i may have misread the tube map.. and we should be able to go from Euston straight down to St James' Park.

The only issue is... Bluey is that you would be one stop before me... you could either catch the tube down 1 stop... or i'll go up and collect you.

Jales you could either meet me at Euston ,, or if i'm going up to Kings Cross.. there.

I expect to arrive in London either at 11:04 or 11:24... possibly the first if i can get a lift to a nearby station.

Can i also add .. those who are ordering train tickets.. might want to look into getting an off peak tube card (if you will arrive in London after 9:30am) at the same time.. it will only be valid for the one day but it saves having to get one on the day.. zones 1 & 2 should cover you just fine.. but i've always gone for the 1,2,3,4 ticket just incase.. its not much more.

Ocean said the train from Swansea goes straight to London, and i thought i had get on that train.

I've only ever been on a train to Swansea, so thats all i know about train journeys

 

[Bluey]

Don't worry about it. It was years ago when I was last on a train and it was only for a few mails down the road and it was only has a kid with me mum. So is a hole new experience for me has well. Knowing me I could very well end up in Swansea LMAO. I be like OK why is every one talking in a welsh accent. I thought they where all Cockney down here

The only issue is... Bluey is that you would be one stop before me... you could either catch the tube down 1 stop... or i'll go up and collect you.

I think I well go strait to kings cross just to keep it simple for myself lol. If there is any chance I well get lost then I well LMAO. I always seem to fined me way home but god knows how.

I am going to try and get there for about 11 tho.

 

[Nibiru]

how about we all just meet in Swansea instead lol

 

[Bluey]

Kings cross is defiantly the one I well be going to. Prob get there about 10:30 in the morning by the looks of it. But I wont know for sure just yet as you can't get ticks for it be for 3 months. So we are just over that date still. So well have to wait for a week or two to find out the exact time. Then I can buy the ticket that is also a lot cheaper then I thought it would be Now am looking forward to it

Bluey is coming to London lol
