You've made up me mind for me I'm off on me hol's come plasa!

Anyone know any cheap deals on train tickets - Basingstoke to Waterloo (with a travelcard built-in for tube travel)?

EG: Is it better to buy a couple of days in advance on a website somewhere?

Is the travelcard worth it for tube travel between Waterloo and Earls court. Hmmm... me thinks that some local knowledge is required. PPPAAAAULLLLAAA!!!!????

Have a look at the local map here

I have found a hotel in Pilbeach Gardens WITH parking for £48 the night. Don't think I can get any closer than that.

The hotel at Earls Court

Hi all

Just to let you know, That there is a huge carpark at the back of earls court just off the main road as you go over the railway bridge 1st left, cant think of the name of the road , but all there big trucks and vans are there and you can park your car there, the parking is quiet expsensive though, its not bad if you want to only spend a few hours there GOOD LUCK

That car park cost me £16 last year !!

The carpark is on Seagrave Road!
But it's free parking on a Sunday

Not last year is wasn't free

I meant in the local roads! not the carpark!

Hey guys - I dont know if this has already been posted by anyone, or if it means anything to those getting there, but this just got posted on my companies intranet:

___________________________________________________________________

Didnt know if it applies to anyone but thought it best you were aware - sorry if it has already been posted...

Tony

I read somewhere that Waterloo station was being closed as well at such a time due to this!
I think its off to tavel enquiries you lot!

Yes, this would be the Bodies covered in tomato ketchup excercise that I mentioned on the other thread. But it's more applicable here anyway .

Oh joy, not that i'm using the tube / railway, but this means more people using cars = less parking areas = more panic to find a space. Paula!..Dustbins??.

Now who thought I was daft driving up through the night ?

See, all mysteries can be explained!.

Legend told of a mysterious triangle where ships & Aircraft vanished without trace. Legend however was wrong, since they mistakenly called this area "The Bermuda Triangle" when really they meant Paula's Back Garden.

The Seagrave car park is £20 this year
