Oldham_Gaz Posted September 4, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 4, 2010 Share 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!).

Doesn't extend to the beer though. http://www.bitecard.co.uk/home.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted September 4, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 4, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldham_Gaz Posted September 5, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you questioning my leadership qualities Anyhow, to repeat what previously posted ..... meet at KingsX from 11.30am in the pub there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted September 9, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted September 9, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
