Hey, just wondering if anybody is taking the train up to Eclipse on the Friday.
I will be, and would be cool to meet up with people along the way, so if anybody was planning on taking the train up let me know, and we could try and catch the same trian if you wanted to!!

[johnhuk]

Yep, sure am....don't know what time train though. Probably mid-morning so I can get to the hotel and chill for a bit...


anyone else?

[lindseyk]

I might be... I have no idea what times look like though!

[KeiraLouise]

I AM!

I'm getting a train from Rochford at 10.32 umm my train to Northhampton is like 12.20ish =)

[Phoenix Will Rise]

I usually use www.thetrainline.co.uk to check train times etc..

There seems to be 2-3 trains per hour that go direct from London Euston to Northampton... The schedule has one at 20 past each hour and 10 to each hour.. as well as the odd other train here and there too...

I'm not sure myself what time I will be heading up... I do need to go into work on that Friday, but can probably leave about lunch time!, so I guess I would maybe try and get a train about 2.20pm or 2.50pm
(The journey time is about 50 minutes on the direct train)

[KeiraLouise]

I used national rail

I've got my tickets booked to so I'm ready to go ^^

I'm going that route, but probably in the morning--it'll depend on how long it takes my dad and I to go through customs and the tubes. We arrive at the airport at about 8:35AM.

so i will see you at the hotel when i get there at three then by the time you get through customs lol

[JennJenn]

I'm getting the 13:22 from london euston.

anyone else?

[tweety_be]

I will most likely take the train too from London to Northampton, just not sure yet what time tho haha.

Well the 'Grand Hotel' need me in before 4pm, so that limits me. So Woking to Waterloo, then Waterloo to Euston. So leaving Euston at 14.22.

Looks like we all have a train each!

Hey Dean, I will also be getting the train on my own... Will be in work that morning and leaving early... so I could arrange to meet u at Euston if u wanted?

I will probably get whichever train is the cheapest, lol... but havent booked anything yet either..

[Bregi]

I'll arive on thursday and stay at london till friday (time unknown). I booked nothing to sleep, I guess I will have a walk around london the night :)
So on friday, yes I will be on the train. Would be cool to meet you there :>

[Phoenix Will Rise]

Cool!! Well my time is flexible, so once any of you guys have decided roughly what time you think you are gonna get a train, lemme know :)

I do however think I will likely get a train abouit 2.30pm/3pm... Means we would be in Northampton by about 4 o'clock..

[Bregi]

Would be good for me, then I have 2-3 hours sleep until it starts :)

[dean25]

sounds good to me
why dont we all meet at euston station about
2.30 3.00 clock and all get the train down there
we can fill a whole train with heroes fans lol so if
that sounds like a good plan everybody messages back on
here and arrange it

[Phoenix Will Rise]

OK, well I checked out train times -
14.22 (direct), 14.40 (1 change over), 14.53 (direct), 15.26 (direct), 15.40 (1 change over)
The prices (from www.thetrainline.co.uk) are £21.20 single, or, if you book a return (which I will be taking on the Sunday), a return ticket is £25... therefore saving a lot if your plans involve coming back to London after the con!

Looking at those times above, the direct train at 14.53 is probably best for me.. but if the eariler (or later!?) trains suit other people best, I am happy to change!

I would be looking at any of the 14 hundred times. I have been caught a couple of times taking a train which my ticket did not cover. I bought a supersaver, and some trains you have to pay more depending on what time they get in.
