Good grief!

I was just looking at the TFL Fare Guide, and I can't believe how bl**dy complicated they make these things! As a very 'occasional' visitor (like the millions of tourists who visit each year, no doubt), I got lost in the myriad options. Each time I thought 'Ah yes! That's the one I need!' I scrolled down and came across another category!

Am I right in thinking the one I need is ?3.80 'One day Bus and Tram pass' described on page 5?

:confused::confused:😱
 
I would have thought you would be best to bring some change with you and buy a bus ticket from the yellow machines near the bus stops, with them you can buy a single or a day pass (i think), last time I did that a day pass was two nicker but it could be more now, if I was you I would wait till you are there! three eighty seems a bit much and seeing as you're only doing two singles you don't really want a day pass do you? Remember it's only 1.5 miles from agadoo to the pub! bring a brolly and run?
 
Yes (but dont hang around looking for trams!).

You should only need to get 2 buses but it saves the hassle and single fayres on buses without Oyster are ?2 each (rip off!).

You can buy a daily bus pass at the tube when you get off at wloo or at the bus stop out of the machine. Do you know where you are going coming out of waterloo??
 
Wowsers! I've been away sick for a week and look at the excitement that's building 🙂 Hehe... Rossi, I will hopefully be there but have been bed-ridden all week so will have to go by how I feel in t'morning I think! Fingers crossed! I will be getting on the old stopping service to Waterloo at West Byfleet (2 stops nearer London than Guildford) so could either time trains and hop on one you're on, or meet you at Waterloo, or just meet you there? Whichever, wherever, whenever 😛

Can I pretty please have some numbers to ensure meeting? I am London savvy but more worried about missing you all. Although if aymes is wearing a catsuit and a red nose there shouldn't be too many problems!!

I'll be on a quickie as it connects my other train, which connects well with the hoover craft and space hopper! (only joking!!)

I've pm'ed you someone's number! (It's mine!)

See you somewhere I hope!!

Cheers

Rossi
 
Munjeeta - your PM box is full!!

Has anyone thought of a watering hole large enough to accomodate us all?

Viki I've had a think and stalled I know of some but haven't been up that part of town for a while so don't know what they're like, and don't want to move too far from BM as thats where we're meeting, in case anyone is delayed a bit. Also it's quite surprising how many people you can cram in a room really I'll let you ladies sit and stand at the bar, so I would still favour the tavern as 1st drink destination unless someone else knows any better (which I'm sure some one does!)

Yes Munjeeta empty your box!

I am half-tempted to walk if it's only that far and the weather's reasonable - I normally never catch a bus for less than 2 miles as the time you save is marginal (stopping in traffic, picking up passengers etc.), so the effective cost is even higher. I will check out the walking route - I'm sure katie won't mind!😉
 
Aymes youve committed to it in writing - no escaping!!!

I think i might abandon the no drinking rule, stupid idea this close to christmas! Will just have to learn to be sensible! :D

OK, so it sounds like two of you are flexible on time and Aymes will get there at 11:00, so how about arranging for a meet time at the museum at 11:00 outside the Souvenir Shop on the West side of the Great Court? Who else would that suit?

That's my suggestion above Shelly🙂
