FINALS - TRAINS ETC.

Post by Dinos Sfyris »

Just wondered who's getting into Manchester when and from where? I'll be arriving into Manchester Picadilly from Sheffield at 12.36PM tomorrow. Anyone arriving a similar time want to share a taxi?

Will be arriving at 12:02 at Piccadilly on Wednesday, assuming I've shaken off this flu I've been saddled with right now. :(

I'll be getting there 08:51 on Wednesday - tad early but I save so much by travelling on that specific train.

Not yet decided whether to drive or go by train on Wednesday. Both have their advantages.

I'll deffo be there tomorrow but will likely have to duck out of the afterparty early so as not to unduly infect anyone.

On a related note, anyone fancy splitting a taxi? (arriving 12:02 at Piccadilly) :)

I'm up for this, if you don't mind waiting a little while longer (I get in at 12:18).

I've just looked and the previous train from Shefffield to Manchester Picadilly arrives at 12.02. Might as well get on that and split a taxi with Ben and Innis. Is this the same train you'll be on Ben? Text me with your seat position for anagrammy fun :P

Yep, I change at Sheffield so that'll be my train, unless there's another train that leaves from Sheffield to Manchester at the same time (don't laugh- that happened last time I went to the finals!).

This makes no sense, I am sure Dinos has misunderstood, as he is arriving on tuesday (i.e he has already arrived), but Ben and Innis are both arriving on wednesday.
