Maybe we should head straight to the pub when you arrive Macast, if it's going to be that busy 😱

don't think it will be too busy as the Charter Weekend has been cancelled now..... not sure who is still coming. it would be useful if people could just confirm on this thread that they are coming.... please :D

I'll be there!

Guys I'm not going to even attempt it tomorrow, most of the flooding affecting the trains was just north of where I live and the engineers are still still working on it, and that's before we get even more rain.
Took me 5 hours to get home from Leeds today.

Just a thought but how about re-arranging.

Alan, what's your thoughts? You would have the farthest to go.

I won't be able to make it up again this year, except possibly an outside chance in September. There are a few others who haven't said they're not coming (if you see what I mean! 🙂) MargB, LairyFairy, rhall92380, Sheilagh1958 and robofski have still to confirm, and Helen is coming (from Facebook, lives in York). On past occasions I've found it's still good even if there is only a small group attending 🙂
 
I hope that you all be safe 🙂

I'm just glad that I don't live in Lancashire these days! 😱
 
Well, I intend to get up early tomorrow with every intention of making the trip but will be checking out that Trans-Pennine website first. Fingers crossed that there are no cancellations but it is not looking too hopeful at the moment. The stubborn part of me might just see how close I can get!!!

Extremely difficult for me to make a re-scheduled meeting before October and then there is the Manchester meet in November so ...

Last year, the day was glorious sunshine and if anything, a bit too hot!
 
It has been much better in Yorks tonight - my son travelled by train between Leeds and Huddersfield and the train was on time.

Looking at the forecast for Yorks tomorrow, it looks to be OK in the morning up until 12 until about 3. Of course, we could be at the pub swapping stories and eating when it's raining and dash out for the station etc when it stops again.

..... this time though I will try not to keep doing a circuit of York on the Park and Ride 😉

Hope to see as many as possible tomorrow.

I'll be there - unless the train is cancelled (wrong type of rain...)

Richard
 
LOL ... you'll be OK if you bring flippers and snorkel so you can swim back.

See you tomorrow.

Unless it is raining so much you don't want to get off the bus!!!

Hopefully, will see you tomorrow.
 
I've just got back from dropping my wife off in Essex (288 mile round trip) to i find that I can't even get down my street as it is now part of the Erewash river! Looks like her car is flooded and it's lapping at my back door! I've had to leave my car on another street! I somehow think my day tomorrow will be spent on clean up :-(

Was really hoping to make it but unless miracles of miracles happen over night don't think it will happen. Sorry, hope to make Birmingham though.

Hope there's not too much damage Dan. I've never known weather like this in July :( The weather forecast looks as though it will be relatively reasonable up North, but the south is looking very dodgy, so I think I'm going to have to stick to my decision and not risk it. I hope everyone has a great time and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible in Birmingham 🙂
 
Nothing more I can do here, waters have receded so I'm heading for lunch in York! Sorry you won't be able to make it Alan but understand not taking the risk!
 
so just Monica and me meeting at the railway station then?

see you all at the pub :D

Hope you enjoy it Dan! 🙂 Just checked and the train I would have caught was already delayed even before leaving Southampton!
