    Dunk/Ed/Jenny/Dave/Neil/Tamara/Drunk Rob/Al/John/whoever might be staying at the Central travelodge:

    Us after-show London bus people who are staying at the travelodge found out that they have no left luggage facility, so when we check out on Monday we don't really have a place to stash our stuff- there's no luggage locker at the train station and I'm unsure about cloakroom facilities at the MEN. The bus won't come around until after the show, so we're unable to throw our stuff in there before the show.

    Is it at all possible that we leave our stuff in your rooms, so we can all walk back to the travelodge after the show, collect the gear, and jump onto our bus?

    Re-posted in the other Manchester thread too.

    i' was just about to buy mine from Carlisle-Manchester for the sunday and it's only £6!!! 8-)8-)

    but that gets me in at just after 4-ish? i wondered what time we were all meeting at as there is an earlier train from Lockerbie but its more expensive... £20-ish...
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    its not 12 weeks yet... the sunday ones are up, the ones for the tuesday trip from Man-London will be up tomorrow i would have thought.

    the 10.15 to euston on the monday is only £8 so i'd expect it to be roughly the same for the Tuesday also. 8-)

    Awesome :D Thanks Mr Dunk
    Just booked my train ticket to Nottingham for the weekend before the gigs so I can visit my mum and then get the train from Notts to Manc on the Monday. So other than this Manc-Lon train I think I've booked everything I can do so far.

    We'll probably get to Manchester early afternoon-ish on Sunday, meet everyone at 5pm then stagger back to our friend's at a god awful time on Monday morning :mrgreen:

    I'm trying to look at trains now but as we're going Manchester to London then back to Cov, it's proving difficult :roll:

    Just tried it for Mon 17th Aug to see the price and options.
    Its Virgin trains. Could get first class seats at the 10.35 time but not earlier.
    Only £8.
    Al will also be getting the same train.

    I can feel the hangover already. Plenty of Solpadine and hair of the dog me thinks!!
    I've always wanted to puke in a 1st class toilet. Do they provide someone to hold your hair & rub your back.
    I need to be told everything will be ok.
