Sci-fi Jules Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I must count as being from the north-west...what with me being in the west of Scotland and all Not sure how many other Scots are coming so I thought I'd just post in here  Tomorrow, I'm going to the bank to take out some money to have on me for things like merchandise, guest encounters etc. I'll need to get it in Bank Of England notes, seeing as how some English businesses don't recognise Scottish bank notes as legal tender! Just to be on the safe side  I'll be coming down from Glasgow in the Virgin train to Birmingham New St - even the journey'll be exciting, especially when I've never been on my own down to England before! (Yep, I'm 30 and haven't been to England myself until next month ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yep, I'm 30 and haven't been to England myself until next month )  you may be coming alone, but you'll definitely make friends at the con.  that would be my normal train to brum but i'm getting a lift with my friend this time. when you swap from your train at new st to the one for birmingham international, go to the taxi bit down the escalators- station staff will be able to direct you, there's a free shuttle bus to the hilton (that's assuming you're staying there).

It'd be handy for me, save me having to walk to the Hilton...not that that takes long from the NEC but still  (Oh and I'd better say that even though I know some people are cancelling their rooms at the Hilton, it's too late for me to cancel my room at the other hotel...so thank you for offering but I can't take your room instead, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenjen23 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 ah right, which hotel? Â you should still be able to use it, me and my friend went into brum on the friday afternoon and got the shuttle bus back, takes about as long as walking does tbh.

Â The nitenite Hotel, near New St. station...so I'll be taking the train out to the NEC and then the shuttle bus stop will be just nearby...if I can't find the blue arrows that point the way to the Hilton I might have to use the Hopper, so it's good that it's not exclusive for Hilton guests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
