NEC travel problems, anyone help?

[TomD]

Hellooo,

 

I could have major travel problems with the Gatecrasher NEC bash! I checked trains today, and there's one which gets into Birmingham on the 16th at just after 8pm, fine, no problem. Then, however, there's no trains back on the following day until 1.30pm and, er.. I can't really afford a hotel room, being a povver student!

 

So how can I pass SIX hours, being incredibly cold? Is there an afterparty somewhere? Techno party at a quarry would be ideal ... Anyone have any suggestions on what to do until the train leaves? I don't travel by coach cos I've had too many bad coach experiences, so it has to be the train.

 

Yep, me n Sig are coming down to see all you lovely folks down thar in England (I'm English but, shh, don't tell anyone) ...

 

Suggestions pllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllls...... PM, email, reply to this thread, somebody.

Tom, theres a possibility I could be driving to this, I'll keep you informed, PM me if you are a definate coz I know there are going to be a few others that are going to want a lift as well!

[CreamyC]

Bollox, I just read you're coming from Scotland, erm .... I'll come back to you!

[TomD]

Hehe, cheers "Scotland: great for some things, pain in the arse for others."

 

Nah I'm definitely definitely going; got the ticket last week, I'm going to be booking a train sometime in the next few days.

 

If anyone was maybe driving to it from Leeds or Newcastle, and if there was enough room for 2 in the car, then me n Sig can easily get a train from there I reckon, good old GNER.

if we shair it will cost us £20 each

 

failing that theres aftersential which is hard house and a real dive but better than the cold by far!

if you book far enough ahead you may get the bargain amount of 20 quid on the train!

If the two of you are really stuck you can come back to mine

[TomD]

Sorrrrteeeeeeed for travel and everything now I reckon; already booked a train. There's also a Scottish Gurn contingent on their way down to the NEC, on what's apparently a rather mad and chaotic bus ... will prob tag along wi'that and cancel train tix.

 

Cheers for all the help tho ...

 

Bring it on, big man.

[SarahPVC]

U can always come up to Leeds afterwards with us for the Tidy Party then get on the train after that home.

[TomD]

Haha, depends on my mental state...

 

Cheers sarah

Lightweight we do it every weekend!!

[TomD]

Heh, tis true, I'm a lightweight.

But a lightweight "in training". That's important.

 

I still could end up doing Tidy in Leeds, who knows, if I can be convinced enough come 6am the Sunday morning. Take it it's a night-time thing though, eh? Not daytime like SS? Think I'm getting my hard house clubs confused here...
