I checked Split My Fare but prices not significantly different to LNER app.

That's weird. Maybe I got in early or something.

Edit: this is the saving I got:

Ah, fuck it. Bought. See you there.

That's a good deal, it's costing me about that much from Leeds and that's 2 tickets with a Two Together railcard.

Work thing postponed - count me in.

I'm really poorly at the moment; my fatigue has reached an almost unbearable level, but I might still come. I really enjoyed the last one and would love to meet some more of you lovely fuckers.

madhair60

No worries Flouncer, if you can't make it there'll always be another one and we'll all be delighted to see you (again!).

There's a mini-meet happening in Cambridge this Saturday. Me, Twit2, Pancreas, possibly DrGreggles and Shiftwork. 2pm at the Earl of Beaconsfield, then moving on to the Cambridge Blue.

mini meet was fun.

main event remains June 25th.

if anyone wants to meet up in the meantime lmk.

Twit 2

Is this meet now fucked due to the planned rail strikes?



Twit 2

Fair fucks. We should be toasting unions in a zoom meet instead.

Mr_Simnock

If this is put back a week that would help me attend, is it really at risk now for the 25th? (I don't think it is)

Twit 2

How are will people get there with no trains?

Mr_Simnock

They can fucking well walk the lazy bastards. Seriously though is this now defo on for the following weekend?

Probably worth waiting for a week or so before cancelling.

Does walking to the meet due to trains not there count as scabbing?

madhair60

Alright. I think the situation is THUS:

Wait and see, just for a week, as suggested.

If impossible on the 25th, will slightly rearrange, maybe by a week or so.

If necessary there will be a smaller meet on the 25th for people who can walk/drive there. How does that sound?

canadagoose

Hopefully the strike will get called off, but if not, I'm still there on 25th because I don't think I can cancel my hotel or flight back. I'll have to fly down there if the trains are cancelled. Boiling the earth FOR CAB

Edit: Or I could add another night in the hotel and come down on the Friday.

Staying with my sister in Chingford that weekend. Trains to London are on 24th and 26th so hopefully fine. How to get to Cambridge... Will there be rail replacement buses or just absolutely fuck all?

Fambo Number Mive

Rail replacement buses on strike days aren't mentioned on the National Rail page giving information on the strike. I doubt there will be rail replacement buses. You might be able to get a National Express bus to Cambridge but I imagine it will be busy.
