Going to try and come but it will all depend on transport as dont think I can get a direct train from Glasgow... Might try and drag hubby with me 🙂
 
What's the damage on train fares Northerner?

I did Blackpool by car and it cost ?80 return in go go juice.
 
Might not be able to come to this one as, if memory serves, my old college has it's leavers stuff around then. I will be there as I have someone to replace.

Just been looking Tez - not looking good! :( Seems I can get a decent train there , but not one back, although they haven't yet brought the timetable out for July so things might be different nearer the time. Contemplating flying up to Leeds Bradford and shuttle bus to York.

Um sounds pricey. I'll nip in to the travel shop and see what the train fares are according to the fares manual and when reservations are available. It's cheaper to avoid London Terminals for a start. I know how to 'drive' the reservations system to get bargain fares.

York is seeming very difficult to get to from here :( If I fly to Leeds Bradford, there's no public transport to York - would have to get a bus to Leeds then train to York (you have to arrive in York by train! 🙂). Train might be better going up, but getting back seems to be impossible if I'm actually going to spend the day there - only flight back is at 13:15! Might have to stay overnight, which makes it a bit pricey for me, especially since I plan on going to Glasgow. Still, quite a bit of time to figure something out!
 
Stayed overnight a few times in York, there are some excellent B&B's near to the train station and cost around ?35.

hi northy, r there fights to Manchester? I'm bout 10 mins from airport and would pick you up and drive to York, if that is any help 😛
 
I have put in my diary and so far cannot see anything close! Dizzydi - I am in Manchester and would love to car share with you.
 
Northey, Tez - trains to Manchester/Stockport should not be a problem. Anyone else struggling then I could drive so we would have at least 2 cars going from this area. Just a thought if it helps anyone.

This is a great idea, so 2 car from Manchester if needed !
 
Will be great getting the chance to meet up with you all.
 
MargB and Di, thank you for your kind offers 🙂 I'm still debating how best to manage things, might stop in York for a couple of nights not sure yet. You might get other passengers from Manchester though - I know we have a few members there who have expressed an interest in coming 🙂
 
I'll do my best to be there.... I already had something in my diary for the 2nd.... but will cancel it as I really want to meet you all :D
