Oldham_Gaz Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Ill be going, firstly on southwest trains, the the tube and then on east coast trains. Are you going to be meeting at a pub? Quote
JoeP Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Should be a group getting the train from Kings Cross around midday. Think there's a Coopers Bar on one of the platforms, which might be a good place to meet (although not sure if this is still there since the Eurostar developments!). Quote

Are you going to be meeting at a pub? Haven't got anyone to meet yet as such! Midday at Kings X sounds good. What time will you be there? Quote

Think there's a Coopers Bar on one of the platforms, which might be a good place to meet (although not sure if this is still there since the Eurostar developments!). 20% off food in most big stations. Doesn't extend to the beer though. http://www.bitecard.co.uk/home.asp Quote
Bristolatic Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Haven't got anyone to meet yet as such! Neither have I. Doing this one on my J Jones as my mate's on his hollibobs. I've got a seat booked on the 12:10 from Kings Cross, so we may bump into each other. Please be kind to me, I'm getting on a bit! Quote
JoeP Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 20% off food in most big stations. Doesn't extend to the beer though. http://www.bitecard.co.uk/home.asp Cheers for that. With regards a meeting place, this is where I was thinking: http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/11/116/ If it's not there anymore, just aim for the most "obvious" pub-like hostalry in the station, I suppose! My coach from Cardiff gets into Victoria at 11:35, traffic etc. being well, so will hopefully be there by midday. Quote
Oldham_Gaz Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 On the trainline, it tells me that my tube to kings cross arrives at 12 and the train i have to get onto leaves at 12 Id, love to meet up and have a few drinks but think I have to travel at the set times Also I cant find a train to Peterborough from kings cross at 12:10 Quote

I'm also booked on the midday train, but only have a semi-realistic chance of making it. It should be OK to get a later train if necessary, unless there's a real jobsworth ticket inspector on the train.... Quote

Oldham_Gaz Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 And thanks Joe. I think I will take the risk of not having a jobsworth inspector Quote

Markoasis Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Noon meet at St Pan!! Any suggestion where!! Remember we can get 4 for 2 tickets so don't buy anything until we meet up! Quote
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 Noon meet at St Pan!! Any suggestion where!! Remember we can get 4 for 2 tickets so don't buy anything until we meet up! How about half 11 meet and get train at about midday? Plus, everyone else is saying Kings Cross - does the train also go from St Pancras? Quote
Markoasis Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 How about half 11 meet and get train at about midday? Plus, everyone else is saying Kings Cross - does the train also go from St Pancras? Are you questioning my leadership qualities Anyhow, to repeat what previously posted ..... meet at KingsX from 11.30am in the pub there Quote
Roger Ritchie Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Are you heading anywhere in Peterborough? If so where? Can I come? and shall I bring sweets? I'm off down on my own for this one. Quote
JoeP Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Remember we can get 4 for 2 tickets so don't buy anything until we meet up! I did not know this - a few beer vouchers saved. Should be there by midday. In Peterborough, The Cherry Tree is usually the pub of choice. Edited September 9, 2010 by JoeP Quote

Mrs T has decided to come along but demands sightseeing, shopping and lunch in return for me taking her to the football, so we're getting an earlier train. Quote

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 28, 2010 Author Posted September 28, 2010 Sightseeing? In Peterborough? Nice cathedral. And that's about it. Quote
mikejh45 Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 Nice cathedral. And that's about it. But what was Mrs. T's version of the day and will it rattle the moderators' cage? Quote
