Thanks for the advice. I'm a bot unsure now as my folks are getting on a bit. How far a walk is it from Liverpool Street Station?

Transport for london says 16 minutes. Here is a link- http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/XSLT_TRIP_REQUEST2?language=en&sessionID=JP03_2695106838&requestID=1&tripSelector2=1&itdLPxx_view=detail&tripSelection=on&command=nop&calculateDistance=1hope it works- I set it for the middle of great eastern street- there should be links at the side, and it also shows how to do it with a bus ride and a 11 minuite walk. The actual hoxton area feels safe, its just that old street station is a big underpass under a giant roundabout and comes up in an area that does not seem to be that nice- but having said that, I don't really know. There was lots of cctv. If I had elderly parents with me I would go for a taxi at night I think.

It might be just me but I can't seem to get either the Flash based booking system or the html page to work.

When you click on the normal rates button it doesn't want to load up.

Same thing happens when I try to do a test booking on the html site.

Anyone else hae this problem?

Hopefully they'll have these problems sorted come 12 o'clock

Just noticed i can't even access the site at all, probably too many of us doing test runs! Fingers crossed for 12 o'clock.

Will we only be able to access the booking page from 12pm? Once the countdown clock has finished, will the £1 and £29 buttons come up? did this happen last year?

no you will have to wait now until its live

No, you have to start from scratch at 1pm I believe. Use the links Blindman has posted (search this thread) for faster connection.

Thanks Blindman!

Maybe we should all say what dates we are going to try for? May give us more of a chance. I am going to try for the 17th or 18th June.
