Matt 236 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi, I am hoping to go to Thorpe's Braniac event during the February half term, but on the off chance may have to use public transport to get there. Will there be any buses to Thorpe park from Staines running during the February half term event? If not, what (cheap'ish) alternatives are there from reaching the patk via Staines?

0 Matt 236 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks very much, Is Staines bus station the stop where the shopping centre is (forget the name) located, as I remember that's where I got off when I took the 441 bus one time before getting the TP express.

0 Ryan Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Or you can get a taxi, it's usually £10 per car, so with a few people it's a few quid each each way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mitchada04 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 No BBQ makes sense, that area of the park isn't open (and Thorpe will probably be taking advantage of that moving materials in and out of the Arena). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Braniac is right next to it, assuming it's in the same location as Easter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan9 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 BBQ is currently in the middle of a building site and nowhere near any of the open attractions.  I would doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Jordanluke2009 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 It's near enough next to Brainiac if it's where it was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 JoshC. Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not particularly sure why people are keen to have an outdoor seated restaurant open in February? Lack of Bar 360 is peculiar though if that list remains accurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ricky Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Considering they are currently building IAC where Brainiac was last year, I would have though people would of have realised Brainiac won't be there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
