For those arriving by train and bus

[pensnest]

A note for you guys who're getting the train to Southampton and then - I assume - bus to Lyndhurst.

The only bus stop in Lyndhurst from the Southampton direction is right by a big fat ugly hotel. When you get off, continue walking in the same direction, along the High Street (which is the street you're in), and past the traffic lights at the T-junction. Keep going on the same road, and when you get to the church (on the left, and up) and see a school on the right, cross over at the zebra. The Old Stables is immediately to the left of the school.

It really isn't very far...

(If you're getting the bus for the return trip, I have a feeling there is a much handier stop near to TOS, but Lyndhurst is basically one big one-way system and the bus doesn't loop the loop.)

I just managed to work out today (having completely forgotten about a training course I'm supposed to be on from Mon 3 Mar in the Eastern suburbs of London) that I'm going to need to catch the 2055 train back to London from Southampton Central. Will I be able to get a lift from someone? The last bus being on a weekday before 1900 does not fill me with great expectations for a comprehensive Sunday service!

When you get in to Southampton on the Friday, can you see if you can pick up a local street map (a free one, I mean), to make it easier to navigate to the station on Sunday? I'm sure one of us will be able to drive you.

What time do you think you'll be arriving on the Friday? I'm trying to work out whenabouts we eat.

I'm going to talk to my boss tomorrow. As far as I'm aware there shouldn't be any real barriers to me leaving to catch the 1505 with everyone else from Waterloo. I'll let you know. :)

I have cleared it with my boss and I'll be leaving in time to catch the 1505 from Waterloo.
