What's your proposed route Mr Roman? I'm kinda sandwiched between Manchester and Blackpool.
A man sandwich? Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up. Any of you mallards want picking up from Poltergeist in the Field train station?

probably not a good idea as I have two terriers who were bred to be very unfriendly towards rodent type creatures...

I wasn't really being serious, if I can make it, I'm sure they won't appreciate the many hours of travelling.

Er. transport from bolts on the child...

Jock, when are you home? Roman, rough idea for eta at jocks?

If I can wangle lifts etc that'd be great. If it needs a hire car then you'd best pm your addy jock so I know where to taxi and land. Oh and phone number and such.

Don't know about time yet, Chicken has also said he might come to Manc first. Are you going straight to Poulton, Pete? If so let me know when your train gets there.

I'll get confused if I have to plan things, so if people who need a lift just give me their times, I'll work it around that.

I have to admit though, the trains are shite, 4ish hours?

Betcha could do it in around 3hrs in a car at least from BerkJooseLand. I can't remember it taking much more than that when I went a few years ago from just south of Coventry.

I think you'll find train travelling time is 3 hours, it's just the 40/17 minute layovers that fuck things up.
It's okay though, Berk can sit in the station and stare at people. It'll be amusing. I'll take pictures.
