As fugaziuk's coming to the get together on Saturday night, I'm assuming he's staying over and going to the show on Sunday, and will see Val then.

rel Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Well I'm judging this by my previous journeys to LFCC and various Collectormania's. My journey will probably look something like this- Friday- 3.55pm- Realise train leaves at 4, and the station is 15 minute journey away. Panic, throw everything in the car, narrowly avoid hitting bushes, small animals, other people and arrive with 30 seconds to spare. 4.10pm- In true British Rail style said train will then be late. 4.20pm- Train finally arrives and I set off. 6.25pm- Arrive in station with 5 minutes to get round the Underground and meet-up with people. Inevitably my mobile will have no signal thus making me unable to inform people of my lateness. 6.55pm- Having got lost on the Underground finally make it to the station to meet-up with (rather disgruntled) friends! After all that I plan to go out and get food etc etc. Sunday will be pretty much a reverse of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon Hunter Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 My sister and myself are getting the train from Hull station on Friday at 6.22pm which will arive in London around 9.30pm then we will get the tube to the hotel near Earls Court then have a good nights sleep and hopefully get in the line at 8am on Saturday and if I don't get to see everyone I will be there on Sunday and we travel back to Hull on the Sunday afternoon.

Calumn Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm amazed how many are getting up early. I've been told that there is such a time as 3 in the morning, but I certainly couldnt lay testament to that fact. I will be getting up at about 7 and should be in London by 8:30 and at Earls Court before 9:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebassis Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Good Grief!!! I'm so glad I live in West London. Dunno what I'd do if I had the hellish journeys some of you peeps do.... miss it in all liklihood lol I shall be getting up at around 8 and suantering down to the train station to get a tube over to EC2. Thought about driving but will prolly be quicker and cheaper tubing it. Cheers, Sebassis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 (StevieB hates Sebassis ) Officially getting excited now. . .I will only be going on the Saturday, still not sure of my exact arrival time (being of the male persuasion I am not used to actually being organised) but I should be at work by 5:00ish and finish about 6:30(commercial window cleaner, but only doing the "bare minimum" on Sat), grab the first train up after that. The journey is between 45 mins and an hour depending on fast/semi-fast/gorram slow train, then about 20-25 mins on the underground, so my guesstimation is about 8:00 arrival at venue. Well, let's hope so anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
