Highly recommend the train into that part of London. The Olympia does have parking, but not a lot.

Definitely up for it.

The harwood arms is a 20 min walk from olympia, and has great food. It would make for a good club dinner and booze venue.

If you can go by train it will be cheaper (probably) and easier (definitely). There is a car park for Olympia but I would expect to be paying £25 plus for a day's parking, possibly a lot more. The tube stops right next to the exhibition hall.

This is quite apart from congestion charge and traffic nightmare.

It'll be the tube for me, so easy, and free for an old pensioner. hee hee!

No congestion charge on the weekend....

Train is £30.50 return, plus tube fair from Paddington, maybe £40 in total?

Round trip by hilusx is 300miles at 30mpg, so about £50 in diesel. Plus £25 parking.

So if we can get 3 or 4 in the truck its the cheaper option.

 

[Chris]

Interested but train from up here is never going to be cheap. On a weekday it's £200 to London. I'll see if I can get a super saver, off peak, outside seat, back of the bus ticket from Eastmids Trainbrain.

If you want to come to Morden you can park behind my house and save on the parking, my rates are much cheaper, and Morden tube is a two minute walk away.

 

[Bodhi]

I would have been up for that but with the SWMBO'd having a expected delivery date of the 22nd I don't even think Ethan Hunt could get away with going!!

Get the early train from Chesterfield to Bristol, then come in the truck with us.

[Bodhi]

Going to have make do with the bike show at the nec at the end of the month instead

 

[Chris]

Not a bad idea Pete. Much better and cheaper service down to Bristol. Or Reading.

 

[wobbly]

No, Reading full of weirdos!
