Mer Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Oh toofy So what car are you possibly in? I just looked at train fares, out of curiosity. Ha, what a joke! Actually no, it's not a joke...nobody's laughing at Britain's extortionate rail fares. I'm crying inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I was like 'oh look, train tickets for £30! Cheaper then the car :0... Oh wait, I'm 16 now..' ~looks at adult tickets~ 'yeezuz Christ £90?!... Peaj can I please have my seat back :3' It is a joke. My seat is in peajs car unless Scb wants it, I'll be in it most probably I think. Mer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well I'm now hoping to get my current car sorted as my dad's friend (this isn't dodgy ) said he'd sort it out for me at a much cheaper price so if money permits Little Bluey will be heading up to Blackpool.

paige Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well I'm going to look to going by train, so that'd leave a space in Adam's car if it makes it so if anyone wants said space and he's okay with it- it's there! (However I'd appreciate it if someone could meet me at or near the station in Blackpool, as my train is due to arrive rather late!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercameron98 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'll be there for the Pleasure Beach on Saturday but won't be joining you for the Tower Attractions. Found a fairly good deal on train tickets at £45.60 return which considering the distance isn't bad I guess, £20 for the wristband so £65 overall, sounds like it'll be a nice break paige 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Quick update from Mexico.... Unfortunately just 1 driver on this trip (me) unless SCB gets the fix on the cheap (seriously I've done it through family for things like that and in my experience the fix is actually better as your a mate getting at cost price etc) My car is full: Me Jaymiee Alpengeist LG95 SCB (if not driving) Toofpikk (if merlinmobile working) People I know who want lifts: (in order of me knowing) SCB toofpikk J.S217 Styles Mer All others drivers and non drivers are takin train from my knowledge Rooms I have booked a travelodge in between te towers and BPB. Currently sleeping 5-6 people (My car) If people need me to book another one get back to me urgently Other room I believe is booked is with Londoner, others could ask him etc. I know some people may be disappointed if they cannot come but we are trying our best. Manormortis will happen if there is demand but from feedback seems peeps are happy watching the illuminations. That will be updated when confirmed etc. On Sunday otger potential thing is waterpark that has been mentioned after tower but once again peeps don't appear too bothered Hope that helps (a bit) adios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Those looking at transport - there's a really nice 8 hour National Express coach which reduces your cost from Victoria Coach station in london. If you can handle the travel time, you may well wish to look at that option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paige Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 If anyone else is looking into getting the train feel free to message me as that way we could book our seats together for the Virgin Train leg of the route as I can imagine that it'd be a bit horrible having to sit on a train alone, potentially next to strangers, for a good few hours Also, I'm just waiting on accomodation now (aka Adam getting his car fixed and/or Jack making it amongst other things) as I'd sooner stay with people that I know fairly well and stuff, sorry to be awkward!

Mer Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Cheers for replying Peaj even though you're on holiday! I appreciate that you're all trying your best and there's demand for lifts... but I replied shortly after this thread was started and did say that I'd probably need a lift. So I'm a little confused why I'm on the bottom of that list. If it's based on members PMing Peaj/personally contacting him - I didn't do so as I thought it best to post here, where anyone driving could see the request. Plus, I was told a month or more ago that his car was full, so didn't see the point in contacting him. I apologise for the negativity and I'm not blaming anyone, please don't misunderstand me! I just feel bugged by the fact that I did what I thought was the quickest, most logical and polite way of asking for a lift but it turns out that I'm not really getting anywhere.

Coaster Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Unfortunately I am unable to attend this meet. Have fun at my favourite park everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pognoi Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Everythings ahead for me! I finally got my pay today (just came back from a ridiculous holiday with some mates) and so I have the funds to go ahead, I think. Only things now is that SCB must get his car fixed and how much the travel lodge is. If the bluey does get fixed in time, it may be easier for me to switch cars due to room arrangements at Blackpool. But then again if it causes too much hassle theres little point. (NEWSFLASH) Will be travelling in the merlinMobile! Apparently everythings fixed, and like I said due to arrangements and stuff it's just easier for me to go in it. In terms of things, I think we could definitely do the water park at some point on the Sunday, along with maybe one other attraction? Some of the people going have school the following morning so I wouldn't want to stay much later then 6PM on the sunday. It looks really good and I won't be heading back up to blackpool any time soon so I for one would love to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Ok, theres a possible chance I could go to this, but it all depends on the following. 1/ a lift there and back 2/ cheap hotel room and so done to share with 3/ I get cover for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Update from Mexico 2 vehicles on motion for transport and 3 family rooms have now been booked via me at travelodge - I'll be back in Uk Thursday s o will be able to help ppl with last min stuff.

Luke_A Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just gotta to say I have my Blackpool ticket already Me too Though I'll have to leave between 4 & 5 on the Sunday. Also: if the Waterpark does happen at any time on the Sunday like what Toofpikk said, I'm totally up for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchada04 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 I'm waiting for my Tesco voucher to come through and it's okay Luke you won't be the only one leaving early as the kids in my car have to get home for bed time as they have school the next day.

pognoi Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 However if leaving early as I hope to do, I think the water park is a little steep if we will only get a couple hours in it anyway. Pleasure beach tickets bought, hotel money set aside, annual pass found. Looking forward to this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
