Pickles Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 If anyone wants to come to thorpe again just tell me because 1.I need to get an annual pass and 2. ill most likely get the train by myself so ill be able to come whenever. No during school times though. Btw I hate being called Holz atm so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Wow you really are planning ahead! I didnt know we were doing an AT meetup, let alone who driving! :)I dont think id be able to go to an Alton one, I dont go frequently (lucky to get one visit a year!) , and while my parents are starting to trust me having days with you fan peeps now, I doubt they'd let me get driven there by you. Especially to somewhere as far as Alton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Patience young fanpeeps patience, discussion have been had!We would have plenty of drivers, as in the admin team alone Me, Mark, Marc, Ian and Mike can all drive. That's 20 people, and with the extra cost and distance of going to Alton I doubt we'd get more members than that able to attend. Not sure if Cringley has started driving yet or nots!But yes, have y'all a little patience! :)Dunno if I've posted about Thorpe the other day or not, but just to clarify, it was great fun, Nandos was teh r0x0r.

Pickles Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 My Dad doesn't have a choice anymore as to where I go BUT he would be the one giving me money so he has a bit of control.Truth about me and Frankie Frankie says:I'm a tictac whore!!Holly says:I'm just a whore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously being responsible for all the under 18's would come under Ian, Mike, Marc and I. Thats a hell of a big responsibility. Then theres parents not wanting people to go as it could be seen as dodgy. Thorpe is fine but Alton's a whole different kettle of fish.Obviously if you think we should attempt a trip there then let us know as we'd only put do it if we can get enough interest.

Fred Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Of course trains are not as bad as people think they are - I've been able to get to alton by public transport within the time it has taken for us to drive there before.(and the fact it costs me £9 each way if I book a couple of days in advance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yeah, the trains are good for getting up there, but from right down south it would take a while, and we couldn't hang around for anyone who may have been delayed or missed their train. However, the Daily Mail *cringe* have a special offer on again at the moment with discounted rail tickets, so it's a possibility.Trains have the advantage of being easier once you get on them, walk around, toilets, shops, no need for one person to worry about driving. However, they have the disadvantages of getting everyone to the station on time, and from the station to Alton Towers. Also, they generally cost more (factor in a cab from the station too).Cars on the other hand are much more flexible with timings and what not, also more options with regards to picking people up, time of travel. However with many cars you would be hard pushed to keep everyone together (see below), but I could conferance call on iPhone to make sure all is going as planned.Either way I'd want to properly organise this one, have a designated route given to all the drivers, initial meeting point of all the cars once they are filled with the right people, designated junctions to come off for food etc. Meeting points at the towers and what not, hotel rooms, times, meeting for dinner etc. It couldn't be done on the fly with a phone like Nandos was.

Mark9 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Of course trains are not as bad as people think they are - I've been able to get to alton by public transport within the time it has taken for us to drive there before.(and the fact it costs me £9 each way if I book a couple of days in advance)Which is basically the same price as say 12 people going up by car. I have a hateness for trains at the minute purely because of the chances of delays and cancellations. Plus when you arrive up North you have to pay extra anyway for buses/taxis which could mean more waiting around. By car you have the luxury of stopping basically whenever you want on the way, freedom of music and you know that you will definitly get a seat . Yes its a pain for the people that have to drive but I know I don't mind driving up (and neither will others). I am up for a trip if others want to, it all depends on whether people want to stay in the hotels and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
