MikeyT Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 What train are you getting out of interest? 8:39 from Waterloo? I'm getting the 08:07 train from Waterloo I'm afraid Dan. I want to get there early to sort out my AP, which I tried to do on Thursday but there was literally one person doing them. A friend of mine said he'd been queueing over 30 minutes!

I remember on opening day 2008 when the queue went back to the car park and it was an hour long in length, because of the mass amount of people and there were only two tills in operation, one handling Annual Passes and the other handling ticket collection.

Lordcutter6 Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I don't think I'll be stupid like last time and get a travel card, gates were open at Staines for me to walk through but on way out found I had to pay extension - looks like it's a plain return ticket to Staines.

Unfortunately there are the rare occasions when the Staines barriers actually work. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeparkmad Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sorry guys, I am unable to attend this due to the lovely Southern putting engineering works on their lines. It would take me Brighton to Clapham Junction well over an hour alone. Obviously, if it wasn't for this, I would be going.I am so sorry guys! Quite a few of you I really wanted to see again from Thursday and others haven't seen in ages! :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sorry to hear that Keith That's a shame about the trains, because Southern have also got an offer online for 50% discount on off-peak tickets! Bad timing...on the bright side, the offer lasts until April 11th, so you can get cheap train fares to come to Thorpe another weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenVig Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Harry I use a Nikon D3000.The Quality in those shots I've posted is far less than the originals though, each photo is 5mb alone! So I had to tweak them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyT Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Had a great day yesterday, was awesome to see everyone again and meet some new faces. I seriously feel awful now and have manflu unfortunately, but such is life!Ride reliability wasn't the best yesterday but all staff did their best to keep guests informed. All staff yesterday were brilliant and very friendly. Can't wait for the next meet- Chessington anyone? I'm just uploading pictures and a couple of videos now, which I'll post later.Ellie and Professor X will be pleased to know I still have the spoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
