Benin Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 thats what I was getting at in the original post, its disorganised and ridiculously stupid around this areaDisorganised public transport in heavy snowfall times?What a shocker!

JoshC. Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 thats what I was getting at in the original post, its disorganised and ridiculously stupid around this areaI strongly disagree with this. Living relatively close to you, and travelling to Egham daily, I'm in a very similar situation to you. The public transport is very good, where I have only ever had a couple of bad experiences with it. Main roads and some other roads in Chertsey had been suitably gritted.Just so happens that the Weybridge and Walton area were slightly worse off than some other surrounding areas...

Fred Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have nothing but praise for the transport people. I've been keeping a track on the website all day, and you can see the planning and everything going into it. On my 7hr journey home on tuesday, I was listening to the station radios and it wasn't unorganised at all. Sounded quite rewarding after that. Can understand why they get paid the amount they do tbf!The north is mad, nothing but buses. When living in leek, I could just feel all my taxes leaking straight into the unused public transport in that area. Was a little.. unjustified imo!

Chertsey was fine (apart from train cancellations probably), yet elsewhere it wasn't. Oh...my...gosh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP AND MOVE ON.Back to the meet... On Sunday I'm gonna be in Waterloo maybe 5 or 10 mins after 10am so please don't leave without me ;| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 You all suck. Caterham has no buses, no trains, no planes, no boats, no cars, only people wandering aimlessly to Tescos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I know people want to move on but I wish to make a brief snow/travel comment :PI was a tad concerned on Tuesday when the snow was only just getting heavy, was about 3-4inches max, and the trains had pretty much stopped. Luckily there was a train to Gatwick I got and my mum picked me up. Yesterday and Wednesday was very deep snow so yeah, the trains are gonna be messed up and I'm not gonna complain cos it obviously isn't simple to clear it all. But when there is only a few inches and we've known for about a week it was coming...bit different But I do agree we shouldn't compare to other countries that always have snow. That is EXACTLY why they cope, because it's their climate. It's like saying "So many British people get sunburnt every summer but the people in Australia or Florida are always prepared!"But moving on to the meet...it may have stopped snowing but the temperature is very cold and probably won't increase enough for the snow to melt by Sunday. If anything it's starting to ice over, meaning it's still just as dangerous if not worse! And for me it isn't just the trains, it's getting to the train station. Haven't seen any buses round here (and cos we're in the village we've hardly had any gritting) so dunno if they're going to run. My mum is really ill with some nasty flu thing, no way is she going to be able to drive me to the station early in the morning. And it's over an hour walk, without snow and ice! Sounds pessimistic but I'm just being realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I don't think I'm coming Tomorrow if the snow is not better and the pavement is not that slippery. I'll have to walk down to the station which is going to be horrible. I'd much rather stay at home, eat nice food, play some Brotherhood, write a song or two and knock out some coursework.I'll see but I'll probably come on Sunday if anything.

Hazzer Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Right, who's going today (sat 4th) ??as I got paid today lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm unable to go today (Saturday) because the usual snow related problems. It's meant to be raining all day tomorrow so I'm hoping it'll want to melt some of the snow. In reality it's still a bit touch and go for Sunday too but I'm going to try my hardest to get in! I'm in a really similar situation to Michaela where it's getting to the train station that's one of the main problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan9 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I now can't attend due to a lack of any form of transport near me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I am still unsure if I can even get there, plus the fact that it's on a Sunday, where transport is already pants! So I'm really stuck deciding what to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'm gonna be at Waterloo tomorrow at 9:30, will anyone else be there around that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyT Posted December 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 So I have to go tomorrow as I'm now staying in a hotel tomorrow evening with a friend. I've got to ask for money as my ALG hasn't come through... fun!I should be at Waterloo Station around 09:50, though trains could be an issue. Lol. It's a shame the weather conditions has prevented some people from coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzer Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I shall be at waterloo from about 8:50am (hopefully) so if anyone get's there early just call or text me or facebook me and I'll come and hang with you until the meet time but its most likely I'll be in Mc Donalds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Ok I shall definitely attempt to be there tomorrow. According to the Southern website the trains are operating normally tomorrow but I'm still worried about delays. Same for the bus to the station. If it turns up, yay, if not, then I won't be there. A taxi to the station would cost too much and my mum is still ill so I can't ask her.But hopefully I'll make it :PMadame Tussauds taxi ride!!

MikeyT Posted December 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Come on Michaela! You can do it! I'm in a very similar situation to you and I'm having to walk over an hour to the station .
