How did the lone ranger have 6k points?
He'd better not be using Tonto's ticket.

If the lone ranger isn't picky then he's in the right place

Some mates are driving over early Saturday morning and staying at ours due to no trains.
Will be avoiding places like The Castle & The Manchester and any other places where sticking to the floor is non optional

Lytham St Annes is quite a nice place to stay or visit.

Manchester pub last time we were there on a hot sunny day was a fantastic atmosphere for singing. Think we went up that seasonclaretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 11:23 amSome mates are driving over early Saturday morning and staying at ours due to no trains.

Earlier start with a couple of pints and some fish and chips on the prom, but not a weekend. I hope for good weather and a demolition job!

If 8 degrees and 10% chance of rain is good weather for you, get the sunnies on.jedi_master wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 12:32 pmEarlier start with a couple of pints and some fish and chips on the prom, but not a weekend. I hope for good weather and a demolition job!

Staying over on Saturday night. Blackpool is just what you make it. It’s a tacky mess but if you want a good night out you’ll have one.

I'm staying Friday to Sunday.
The little woman goes shopping, while I enjoy the match, then hopefully an evening of celebration.

If the weather is dry I might have a cycle over, soak up some of the pre match atmosphere, get fish and chips and then catch the train back.

23 of us I think now
9am set off, 19:30pm back so those married , with kids or not big full day benders type people can head home.
The rest can then stay out

You'll also be cycling back, as there are no trains, just a replacement bus service.Lord Beamish wrote: ↑Mon Feb 27, 2023 5:58 pmIf the weather is dry I might have a cycle over, soak up some of the pre match atmosphere, get fish and chips and then catch the train back.

Ha! Thanks for the heads up.
I did similar back in December. Cycled from Gillingham out to Whitstable for fish and chips and a few beers and on,y found out when I got there that there were no trains on for the journey back.
Luckily the chippy tea and the couple of beers field me up for the 35 mile journey back!

Will there actually be a replacement bus service if there is a strike?

For once it isn't people striking that is the issue, they are doing engineering worksup_the_clarets_1989 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 28, 2023 9:27 amWill there actually be a replacement bus service if there is a strike?
