A quick question to MrG, how far in the park are we going to be, as that will determine what time I will leave for the train! I would prefer to take the last but one, just to be on the safe side, that's me always cautious! And I would prefer to spend more time in the park, rather than spend in the pub? Does that make sense? Unless it is bitterly cold!
I few posts back, I had recommended not relying on a last train so we'll assume everyone is taking a 9:38pm train. So I suggest leave the park 9:15pm (14min walk plus 9min wait at station).
There will be Baty and OH plus Chelle1973 and her Mum also coming from Wales and Scotland. 3 days to go 
Ooh I wonder what it is?yogi wrote:All sounds great, we enjoy a nice walk as well.
Just finished the quiz, hope I've judged it right and everyone doesn't get either zero or full marks!
Also made and printed something else as a surprise for when people arrive!!
Been to it once before and it was good in parts but a tad weird in others but we're all different so some might love it.
No you need to get a train to Piccadilly which takes 2 minutes then one from there to Ashburys which takes 4 minutes it will cost £1.50 for this ticket. Does your ticket say to Manchester Stations on the reservation part as if it does you can just stay on the train to Piccadilly then get one to Ashburys? Virtually all the trains that stop at Oxford Road go onto Piccadilly so if it doesn't say Manchester Stations just b*y one on the train as it will save getting off and faffing b*ying a ticket.chelle1973 wrote:I have had no time to sit down and study maps ect, we get into oxford station on friday about 17.26pm. I'm not sure how we make our way to our travelodge but the nearest station is Ashburys. Can we get a train straight from oxford station?
Thanks Diane yeah it says Manchester Stations on the reservation part of our tickets. We are travelling very light so we will think about coming straight to Glossop, see how my mum feels.......Excited now!!Diane65 wrote:No you need to get a train to Piccadilly which takes 2 minutes then one from there to Ashburys which takes 4 minutes it will cost £1.50 for this ticket.

On another note if by the time you check in etc you will probably be getting the 18:52 to Glossop but if you are ask for an evening return which costs £1.95 or if you're very quick checking in the earlier off peak returns (off peak on this route does include evening rush hour) are £3.90 are at 18:03 or 18:10. Not sure if you're travelling very light or not but it is the same train from Piccadilly to Glossop which stops at Ashburys so maybe worth thinking of going straight to Glossop but it would be a pain for you walking with a load of luggage.
