    Ok, need a little help if possible!
    What is the best train station to leave from going to london the morning after the gig? And what is the best station in London to arrive into?
    Gotta get around to booking a ticket, only after finally booking some accommodation last wek!

    hey, i can only tell you what i did, no clue if it is very good....feedback would be great!!

    i booked a bus at megabus, it leaves london at victoria coach station and arrives in manchester at victorias station, it is very very close to the M.E.N. (like some hundred meters)...
    i booked a bus back from manchester at 4am from vic. station...

    hey everyone

    i know there are meetups arranged for before the gig, but not sure if something was going on after? anyway - just thought i would post this..

    106.1 rock radio here in manchester is running a pearl jam "afterparty" at Walkabout in Manchester which is not far at all from the MEN Arena.... might be a good way for people to spend time before catching late/early morning coaches to london or wherever.

    more info here - http://promo.gmgradio.com/3605/

    they did these things for the metallica and ac/dc gigs in manchester earlier this year and i must admit they were really good. so there you have it.
