I can arrive whenever, but may be heading off at 8ish or so. Bradford isn't the most train-friendly place for me :(

Eh? It's only 20 minutes on the train from Leeds init?

Yeah. But that means at least 2 hours plus a minimum of one changeover whereas I can get to York in 30 minutes and Leeds in just over an hour. Both direct too. For the going home bit, this means leaving by 8ish or I'm stuck on a platform in Leeds for the night. Well it's either that or the dog basket :)

 

I'm still coming along one way or the other though!

You're always welcome to a place in he dog basket. Incidentally, Re. Bradford-Leeds, bear in mind that there are two Bradford stations, both walkable from where we're boozing, both serving Leeds. Bradford Interchange and Bradford Forster Square. I don't know off the top of my head which offers the later last service.

The interchange seems to be the best option for trains. It also looks to be marginally closer to Centenary square as well.

 

Assuming trains are on time, I'll probably be there for about quarter to one.

Groovy.

OK, it's time for a tot-up: the dog wants to know how many of you she's 'accommodating' on the 19th.

Pls can we have a recount?

Me!

Of course.

Well I'm coming along, but I'll probably be training it back and hence won't require basketing. :)

Likewise, I'm planning on getting the train back from Bradford.

I might, still a bit up in the air at the moment. I shall try to find out.

The dog basket has many rooms.

While I remember - we're still meeting in Lloyds between 1ish and wheneverIgetThereish, right?

 

Steve - is your mobile number still the one ending in 3095 - if not, PM me your new one thankyouplease.

I'll be there from about 12.30

BUT:

STOP PRESS

They've changed its name. It's still wetherspoons, and still in Centenary Square (obviously), but it has JUST been renamed The Turls Green. If you're asking Bradfordians, you might say 'formerly known as Lloyds Bar.'

Yes, that's my mobile number: anybody else who'd like it, just pm me.

And some bad news: Ricard00 just texted me to say he can't come as he's just lost a foot to gangrene. The fop.

Meh! Any excuse. (fail)

 

Does your number still end with 095? If so then I've got it. I'll be getting a train which is /supposed/ to get to the Interchange for about 12:45. So I'll be there shortly after that if the train isn't delayed.

I am going to get the 8:47 train back to Leeds to get the last sensible train to Sheffield :( Oh well. I will still be there. 1ish, you say?

Aye it does. See you there

DYL>>> And you too.

I WILL COME AT TO THE MEAT :O

Assuming I leave Liverpool at 8ish, I ought to be in Bradford for 11 at the latest.

Now, to those in The Know, where is a good place to park?

<realises he's leaving it a bit late>

If nobody answers in time I'll just have to find Lloyds in Centenary Square and look for Manthorp since he's the only one I'm likely to recognise :$
