THE CORONATION 15-17 MAY.

Well folk's not long now before this trip how many of you have booked for this great trip.
we are treating ourself to dinning on this trip for a change,must be getting old.

 

Booked on with better half and got e-tickets for ayr trip today

 

See you and Ron on it then Jane! Although not in Dining

Should be great,not quite as good as advertised but 6233 more than makes up for the other A4. A Duchess north of Grantham is pretty rare,we had a great run with it on there a few years ago,lets hope for another

 

Look forward to seeing you Alberta. yes it should be a very good trip. not got my ticket's yet my email ticket's or by post but we are not expecting them till friday or saturday.

 

O Well alberta and steam get's in your eye's look's like we got the hole train to the 6 of us ,L.O.L.

 

Add me into this Jane, as im joining Mark and co for the three days. Even after all the changes and non running engines to the original plans, im still looking forward to it.

Cheers

 

Enjoy yourself peeps but on this occasion a "meet the BBMF plus Battle of Britain veterans" day at Duxford on the 15th gets my vote this year. I'll pop out to see it first so I'll give you a wave.

 

i hope you enjoy yourself at BBMF MEET and a day at Duxford can't be bad. look forward to meeting you oli15 .

 

I will thanks. Anything to do with the Battle of Britain is given a high profile in my calendar.

 

Well if there's only six of us lets see if Steam Dreams would borrow the veiwing carriage from NYMR and do the ECML in style

 

Would only need a brake van if theres just 6 of us!

 

i am on with the usual crowd of regulars (in the notley coach) see you at the cross mark

 

We might need another couple of brakevans? XD we will see you about Geoff.

 

Look's like a good few of us going then, Has anyboady got there ticket's yet? or know the time out of London i am only asking as want to pre book my ticket's from northampton to london to get them at a cheper price.,

 

I am also wondering the departure time from the cross Jane as i will also be travelling south from Wellingborough or Northampton (whichever is quicker). The last two years have been 07.25 so i would presume it should be the same for this year

 

Hi Oli15, thanks for your posting i phoned steam dream's this afternoon and they said they were still waiting for time from british railway's. not sure we can get up to london that early so we will have to over nite in London.

 

We have booked in the Ibis at Stevenage,cant go wrong,29 quid across the road from the station! Got in Farringdon travelodge for 29 quid on the way back so its not bad.

Cheers,
Mark

 

Sounds a right bargain there mate for just £29!!!

Will see the timings from SD before deciding my plans on where to kip up for the early start.

Oli

 

Cols? lol

 

He has offered mate but i feel a bit guilty staying when he isn't on the trip. Dont want to rub it in, even though i think now he regrets not booking lol!!!
