- Pinner, North West London suburbs, can get national rail from central London if necessary.
- Almost anyday, if I have plenty of heads up time!
- Can get access of a car if need be, but probably would end up being a rail or coach trip.
- I'm not used to travelling that much on a day trip, (any further than Oxford and I get nosebleeds), but I wouldn't mind, it'll be something different...

- Billingham, North East England
- Any day, but I'll have to book time off work if it's a weekday and I dunno what the availability is so I NEED TO KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- Most likely driving, depends on the distance.
- Not bothered about location though Alton Towers sounds fun.

How does Tuesday 25th August sound for everyone, then, if we need to get a date down quickly? Doesn't conflict with anyone's rules so far, and anyone posting from now can object to it if they need to, and suggest another date.

Like I said I have to check holiday availability so I have no idea if it conflicts or not.

Hmm, is it possible to do it in September? Or at least, later that week? Mondays or Fridays are better for me, as it's easier to get off, and easier for overspill.

The 28th would be better for me.

It might need to be a bit further away than that, so those of us on rail can try and get advance tickets: the price falloff can be massive.

Ugh, I've been nosing around timetables for hours, I need to get some comic done...

Oh, can anybody find how long the bus trip is from Stoke station to the park and vice versa?

Let's go for a date at the beginning of September, then; Monday the 7th Sept?

Virus; says here that if you buy your ticket on the bus, you get the trip for free, but I don't know how much you'd save from doing it on the day, rather than online.

Google Maps puts the journey time at around 30 mins by car, so I'd add a few minutes onto that for stops. Journey back should be the same time as well.

- I've not got anything on the agenda at present, but I have to be sure it doesn't clash with any date the Job Centre wants me in (things going to plan, September 7th is a go).
- Almost certainly the trains, unless I can blag a lift with someone.

Oh no, I meant the advance train tickets, which can be a ridiculous amount cheaper, but they are elusive, and require arcane and occult alignments of route, time of day, day of week, length of time in advance, and position of Jupiter in the constellation of Sagittarius.

Hm, I think staying overnight's going to be too expensive for just one day at the park. But as a day trip, the earliest I can get into Stoke (for a not-crazy price) is getting on for 11 oclock. Plus the bus ride.

In the drawer downstairs I found eight 2-for-1 vouchers, and I do believe the term is 'yoink'.

So long as there aren't more than 16 of us turning up, this'll cover us all for half-price, if we split the costs in pairs.

I agree. Maybe we can have our own Southerner day out. Where we laugh at the others and mock Feldoon for being a Northerner.

Nah, maybe we can do that next year.

So, any objections to September 7th?

- Havant/Portsmouth, Southwest England
- Anytime works.
- Eastwood's glorious generosity, from the sound of it :) Possibly backed up with some public transport hopping to Essex.
- I'm happy with anywhere I don't need to directly pay for, since I, y'know, can't.

I'm sure a few of us would be fine with paying a couple of quid extra, and for you to use a voucher normally. =D

You know, if that extra quid is from 0 to 1.

Fuck you.

I'm in Suffolk. That's one county up from you.

LET'S GO LEGOLAND!

I should be able to do the 7th of September. It's just dependant on how long public transport is going to be and whatnot.

I still like my plan of training it to Pix and then going with him. The north scares me and he already has experience in street crime.

I'm only 50 miles north of you, if you've ever checked.

Also, like East said, not Legoland this time. Should be close enough to Virus, since that's the main reason of the meetup.
