surfy_sah Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 ANYONE ARRIVING AT MK BY NX (NATIONAL EXPRESS) OR OTHER COACH: please note that the Coachway off the motorway is still OUT OF USE! and the coaches are still using the address at Silbury Boulevard / Campbell Park !!! see google map HERE or type in the postcode MK9 4AN (you may need to scroll to the left a bit) you can see Campbell Park from SMs map to get to the mall, you literally get off the coach and walk straight UP the road and in about 10-15mins you will arrive at the John Lewis end of the mall, where CM used to be you just need to cross to the COSTA side of the mall (as Silbury Blvd is on the NEXT side) from there, if you want to head straight for the FREE bus, keep to the COSTA side and walk for 5-10mins until you come to McDs and wallah, step outside and find the bus stop (see the pinned topic HERE, which includes TIMES and the MAP!) of course, you can always get a taxi from the coach, if there is not one there you can try: Eazy Cabs: 01908 218218 Raffles: 01908 222 222 Skyline: 01908 222 111 Speedline: 01908 260 260 MK has more taxi services than any other place I know!!! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clloby Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 It's impossible for a bus to be at a time convenient for everyone. Every half hour, rather than 2 within 15 mins then nothing for another 45 mins is a lot more convinient for 90% of people, instead of those who happen to arrive at just the right time. I still think the timing of them sucks. My train comes in at 5 minutes past the hour - I require the entire bus timetable to be altered to better suit myself! Waiting around for a connection are part and parcel of travelling. Don't want to wait - put your hand in your pocket and pay for a taxi! The point is, SM wants the show to grow. But its NOT going to grow if they keep moving events out into the middle of no-where unless you drive, and making it anything less than super easy to get too, as I know people/customers and they wont do anything that requires effort! By having stupid bus times, and that being pretty much the only way to the stadium other than car, is just going to put many random people off..the only ones who will end up going are the core group of people who already were going. So it could just stagnate or go backwards.. I am planning on driving back and fore the stadium from the hotel each day - which is far from ideal - I would much prefer the event had stayed in the centre itself, but I am an adult and can suck it up and get on with it. Although if Showmasters could organise a bus just for myself and my friend who are traveling up early Friday morning from Wales that would be GREAT! And whats wrong with this excellent bus service your raving about eh?? Times not good for you eh? Or Just doing your bit to pollute the atmosphere a bit more and clog up the roads? A bus would have been great as Im coming from Cardiff..but im coming on THURSDAY so it would have been no good. Yes..THURSDAY so personally I can make the stupid bus times, but OTHERS coming on the day are the ones who will have the problems, and most will be too shy/scared to say anything. I noticed several posts of mine have vanished. Censorship at its finest! Reminds me of a certain london events forums where everything is censored too! I have chosen to drive because I have several large - and I do mean large items which would be a nightmare to get on an off a bus. I have a car at my disposal and will be transporting several people to and fro. Polluting the atmosphere is just a bonus If you are coming thursday then why are you moaning about the bus times for Fri, Sat and Sunday - those people who are too scared to complain sound like an excuse to me. I have also never seen a postive post from you. Bored Now P.S. Coming up from Swansea at some point at Friday All this moaning reminds me of the humans in WALL-E. The easier you make it for people, the easier they want it. In 20 years time will SM be providing foot massages for the poor folk who have to stand in a queue for 5 minutes to get an autograph or supplying counsellors for those who didn't get to hug/kiss/become best friends with the guests? Guys, it's a frakking autograph/collectors show!! If you want to go, go. If you don't, don't. If you don't like where a local Asda or Tesco is located, do you call the head office and ask them to move it closer to where you live? No. You just go. If the buses don't suit, don't order a Big Mac and fries at lunchtime, take a couple of sandwiches with you to save money and hire a bloody taxi!!! Geez... One of my favourite posts of all time!

bonniesrg Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 to get to the mall, you literally get off the coach and walk straight UP the road and in about 10-15mins you will arrive at the John Lewis end of the mall, where CM used to be you just need to cross to the COSTA side of the mall (as Silbury Blvd is on the NEXT side) from there, if you want to head straight for the FREE bus, keep to the COSTA side and walk for 5-10mins until you come to McDs and wallah, step outside and find the bus stop (see the pinned topic HERE, which includes TIMES and the MAP!) You are a star, I would've walked in the opposite direction knowing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted June 4, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted June 4, 2009 Any of the Milton Keynes residents on here know how long it takes to walk to the Stadium from the Centre MK? From the actual Centre. About 50 minutes to an hour at a guess. But obviously that is a guess. I don't know how quickly you walk. Where in the Centre. That you won't get lost. Etc Etc.

Not to mention the wind speed and aerodynamicness of my clothing! Thought about an hour. Was just wondering, thanks for the info.
