Travel - minibus users

[pensnest]

I've just been looking at the parking arrangements at the O2. I can book to park the minibus, but it's cheaper to park if it's a vehicle for 12 or fewer than if it's our usual 17-seater.

Also, I have to drive this thing through London!

So I'm wondering what kind of travel arrangments I'll be needing to make. Who's going to be travelling to Portsmouth on the minibus from my house (and/or Stansted pickup), and who's going to be travelling in to London for the day on the 28th, even if you aren't going to the concert. (My Beast is likely to be one such—we'll pootle off to the Greenwich Observatory or something during the day, and he'll amuse himself while I'm being amused by NKOTBSB). There may also be one or two of you who'll be wanting a ride from the O2 to Portsmouth.

It seems likely I'll need to book the bigger minibus as usual, but I wouldn't at all mind escaping that, so do let me know if you need a place on it.

I'm flying in to Heathrow on Friday which I hoped would be kind of on the way to Portsmouth? :D?! Otherwise I'll just have to figure out trains.

Also going to London on the 28th, yay! :D

I intended on coming back with you guys after the concert as it will save me quite a bit of money.

I'm arriving at Stansted on Friday at about 15:20 and would like a ride if possible.
And I want to go to London as well (even if I'm not going to the concert).

I've arranged my usual prior-Thursday arrival (my flight is scheduled to land at 11:15), so pre-Camp is a go for me!

And I've booked a concert ticket with Anna, so I'll need transport to & from London for that, whether that's cars or minibus or whatever.

Can't wait!!!

I'll be needing a lift to and from the concert.

I'm flying in (to London) on Saturday and was hoping for a ride to Portsmouth when you guys are going back. I'm not going to the concert, though, so I can obviously make whatever pickup place or time.

I'm arriving Friday, 27th, at Stansted at 17:45 and if it's possible I'd like a ride. I'm going to the concert, so I'd need a ride to London and back as well. :)

Getting to the concert by myself, but would like to drive back to Portsmouth with you.

As for leaving on Friday, I would like a lift back towards London (though can also do that by train or something).

I'm arriving in London (Gatwick) on Thursday and hopefully I'll be able to visit my sister for a few hours and if she can't put me up for the night (probably not) take the train to you and spend the night there if it's okay?

I'm not going to the concert and I'm not planning on going to London.

I'm leaving from Gatwick after Camp so if there's no room in the bus for me then I could probably take a train from Portsmouth, right?

[chalcopyrite.livejournal.com]

I will be on the minibus to and from Camp (I am pretty sure), and also going to the concert!

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

I think I am bus-neutral - will be (hopefully) seeing people in town on the Saturday, and possibly training up for part of the day Sunday, or possibly being comatose and without spoons on Sunday, depending.

[sperrywink]

I don't think I will need a place? I arrive early on Friday morning at Gatwick, but can be picked up or can train down to Portsmouth, either is fine with me.

And I'm not going to the concert and would be happy to have a quiet night at the house. I'll be traveling a lot, I suspect Jetlag won't be my friend!

I'm arriving at Stansted on the 27th at 11.10am and would very much like a ride if at all possible. Also going to the concert, so ditto for the ride there. I really hope you won't have to get the mini-bus, as I can imagine what kind of nightmare that is in London, but I'm afraid I'm personally just not that savvy with public transportation. :/

I will not need a ride from Heathrow or to London, however I will be following the minibus on the way back from Camp, if that helps you with the headcount at all!

[pensnest]

When you say 'following the minibus' - do you not need a place inside it?

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah, yes, I did mean that I will be in the minibus on the way back and will need a seat. :)

[rikes]

As in, me and my luggage would like to drive back to Portsmouth with you. :)

[fadedsouls.livejournal.com]

I'll be needing a place on the bus to and from the concert. Hopefully arriving on Thursday and crashing on Pen's couch if possible (meaning, still have to actually ask, he he), if not, I'll arrive Friday. Either way, I would like to reserve a seat on the bus for the whole of Camp. ;)

I've spectacularly missed this post - I would like to go to London for the day although I'm not going to the concert! And I believe CJ would too.

[pensnest]

Do I have your arrival arrangements? I can't remember—if I'm picking you up from an airport, let me know!

[adelate]

I believe you are? I fly to Heathrow on Wednesday evening, I should land around 9:30 PM. :)

[pensnest]

Ah, of course. Wednesday is no problem, I just need to add you to my list of houseguests.

[adelate]

Thank you :))

Aaaaand - I've just been absent. Yes, I would like to go to London for the day, although I'm not going to the concert. Also, I arrive at same time as Mette - on the 27th at Stansted at --- 11ish, I think. AM.

Christ. Gatwick, I mean Gatwick, I'm sorry. I just usually fly into Stansted, but it's Gatwick. Sorry!
