[Greyhound Gal]

And me!

 

[Carolg]

Fantastic, what a good way to start the cold darker days. Sorry if this put out more work for you Alan. Thanks

 

[Hazel]

It is an open invite - so if you are thinking about it - you will be made most welcome.

We are such a friendly bunch, this will be our 2nd outing this year.

Hope you see you there

 

[Uller]

I'll be there too, hopefully get a bit more of a chat this time. We'll maybe get a table without a big pillar in the middle of it this time!

Not at all Carol, I'm really pleased it's going ahead and sounds like a good turnout! 🙂

 

[Hazel]

Alan will you manage to come along?

 

[Vicsetter]

Another megabus journey, Alan?

 

[eggyg]

And me!

Looking forward to meeting you GG, met everyone else in the flesh! 😱
PS, are you going by train? I will be getting on in Carlisle. We could maybe synchronise our journey.

That would be good! Was a bit noisy last time! 😉

Will be good to meet you as well. I used to live in Carlisle. There is a train I can get with a change in Carlisle, which then gets into Glasgow central at 10:29 I think.

That must leave Carlisle about 9.15ish will have a look. When did you live in Carlisle and for how long? I've only lived here for 57 years! Ha ha!

@Greyhound Gal, 9.11am.

 

[Greyhound Gal]

I did my A Levels there at Morton school, so '87 to '89. Can't remember what the area we lived in was called but it was Palmer Road. One of the last roads on the edge of Carlisle near Burgh (?) Road. Coming from the museum, right at Carrs biscuits and then follow that road to the end of town!
Just checked train it is the 07:09 from Crewe into Carlisle at 9:00am, then 9:11 from Carlisle into Glasgow at 10:29.

Belle Vue is the area. My youngest sister went to Morton School but she left in 1986, I lived at that end of town in my late teens until I got married in 1980 now live in the south of the city just by junction 42 of the M6. What a small world.
I will book that train if that's the one you are coming on. Just let me know. Elaine.

 

[Greyhound Gal]

I'll book my tickets today! See you in Carlisle ( not quite the same ring to it as St Louis but good enough )

Londoners can do this trip in a day and a bit. Finish work on the Friday, get the Caledonian sleeper from Euston at around 10.30 ish, arrive in Glasgow for brekkie, go to the pub, do some shopping, then get the sleeper back and be back in London for brekkie on the Sunday. It ain't cheap, but it's cheaper than a hotel.

 

[Carolg]

Here's me 2 1/2 hours east to west coast. And a wee walk. Lucky me

If you put environmental issues to one side, it's much cheaper and quicker to fly!

And here's me from England, 1 hour 10 mins on train and a two min walk from station. It can take longer to get from one end of my town to the other on a bad day! Crazy! Let the train take the strain! 🙂
