I think its on the edge of Bristol..... I'll have a check but I think the train from Temple Meads comes thru my Station (Didcot) before going to Birmingham....well I say that, I know we have a direct train to TM from here, but don't know where the train goes after that... I may have to change at Oxfordpostingalwaysposting wrote: »temple meads as that the only place i can find :rotfl:it has a bus in and out, parkway i dont even know where that is :rolleyes:
..... or I could park at my Mums and go straight from Oxford.... will have to investigate that one! I could drive but I'm not sure my car would survive the journey!

well sarah, if it does indeed go through your stop and onto birmingham maybe we can time it right so that we get on the same train. I will have to go from temple meads though as i cant get to parkway on my own... i shall go and look now at what stations my train passes...
no in order for me to go through didcot would mean me having to change trains and add 3+ hours on my journey
*btw sorry everyone for clogging the thread*0 -
Scrap that idea then! I think I'll end up changing at Oxford on the way, but the trip back looks like it involves a bus journey too.... cuz its a Sunday I guess!?!postingalwaysposting wrote: »well sarah, if it does indeed go through your stop and onto birmingham maybe we can time it right so that we get on the same train.

what time are you going to be heading back sarah? and what train station will it be at?0 -
From what I've seen from the brief look I had, I can either get the train to Bristol TM and bus back to Didcot from there (long journey!), or get the train to Banbury, bus from Banbury to Oxford and the catch the train to Didcot.... according to thetrainline . com (Quidco of course!). I was looking to head back around sometime after lunch.... depends on the trains really, and what else is going on.postingalwaysposting wrote: »what time are you going to be heading back sarah? and what train station will it be at?'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0 -

I hope sopostingalwaysposting wrote: »cool i was thinking about 1pm are you coming/going for new street train station? I'll have a proper look in the morning, but I think its that one. If we were going to London, I'd be fine cuz I can do that with my eyes shut.... and I have an pocket A-Z to take with me so I don't get lost

Hey Pap, does this mean I'll get you on a shopping trip? :A

Just wanted to say that the offer of somewhere to kip is definitely there to any who wants. I've got a double futon, a long sofa, and can get folding beds if needed! I'd hate to think people are spending £50 on a room if they don't need to.
I can't wait. The nerve-wrackingness is all part of the fun, that and the fact that people NEVER conform to your mental image of people. I used to go meet people off the internet all the time when I was 15 or 16. (my generation's version of walking along the train tracks, I guess)0 -
