Premier Inn Argyle Street, quite close to Central Station is doing double rooms for £29, only a quid less than I'm paying for the train from Leeds

is that 30 squid for a return choo choo? I'm taking anya up for a few days and it cost me £58

Aye, return. I have to change at York and Embra but that's nae bother. Touchdown should be around 14:30 James

Aye, I would've got that one but couldn't be arsed getting on and off with the brat. Bloody ankle biters.

Room booked at the rather splendid looking Glasgow Grand Central Hotel

It might look splendid,,,,but wait till you go out of the front door onto Gordon Street...at night...looking for a taxi....it's not for the faint hearted

I'm more interested in the fact that after a six hour train journey the hotel is actually at the railway station!

[James Blast]

not only 'at' but 'in', it makes up the front right of Glass~gow Central
looks like they knew you were coming

I was only in it once back in 81, looks like it's lost its old world charm - ie. ye cannae smoke

[merrisl]

We're stopping there too....mainly due to the fact the the train back home in the morning is at 06:20am !!

We can share that 1 cab

Sounds good to me.However,having looked at GoogleEarth it doesn't seem that far to the venue anyway,although doubtless it will take longer to walk back than to walk there
Oh,and I hope you will forgive us for not joining you for breakfast if you are leaving that early!

[merrisl]

It's about a 10/15 min walk (missus only has short legs). Slightly uphill.
Wandered around last time we played at the ABC2.

We're not gonna get in til gone 6pm anyway.
You'll all be half pished by the time we get there

I'll make sure they save you a sausage !

[James Blast]

Start one! Hoping for those elusive days tickets, or as Scardy pointed out to me, try a last minute ebay thing. Still not too sure on getting to and from Glasgow at the mo.

Matt..

I'll be travelling from Glasgow to Welwyn Garden City (via Edinbourgh and Peterborough) on a train which leaves Glasgow at 8.45 AM on 8th July. That's all I know - the train ticket was booked by AndrewS and he knows all the details (we will be travelling together). He's not much on the Internet these days (crashed computer), but I can PM you his telephone number (if you don't have it), so he can tell you the details.
And yes I bought the 3 day ticket for Sonisphere and I plan to camp and go all rock'n'roll.

Done!

[timsinister]

I land at four-thirty, hope that doesn't mean I'm missing t'BBQ?

[Quiff Boy]

we "land" at 1pm

we'll be off to the hotel to check-in and have a quick freshen up, and will probably be back out and about by 2.30 ish

wassaplan?

[weebleswobble]

I'm in around 2, taking the anklebiter up to grannies and then attempting an escape into the toon.
