Good day out and three points for the Bees.
Ground has changed a bit since I last went there.

For anyone in the London or Reading area

Virgin Trains direct to Bournemouth

9.48 arriving at 11.12

last direct return 19.38 arriving at Reading 21.31

Cheap day return £21.20 but if booked 7 days in advance £13.00.

 

[Edmundo]

Thanks Vicky. This is exactly the sort of information we usually rely on nocoat for. I'm contemplating an overnighter as that looks rather early to be leaving the Dorset hotspot!

There's loads of trains on the Waterloo - Poole/Weymouth line Ed. I think that the last one up to London is about 11.30pm.

cant be arsed anymore lol one season is enough for davey!

And it would appear that Keith has confirmed that Vicky is to be trusted with sorting out our awaydays :thumbs:

 

[GP]

The one away game I can definately get too bearing in mind only 7 miles to travel. Looks like I've persuaded the kids and 'other half' as well so 6 of us making the short journey.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Not sure whether we'll be doing the route from Reading or from Waterloo.

I think £13 looks good from Reading but I might be able to get it cheaper.

If anyone finds cheaper deals from London let me know as I am probably closer to London, Reading was just the option I found.

 

[Vicky B]

Ok have found out the London option.

London Waterloo - Bournemouth

£16.60 Apex cheap day return.

9.00am - 11.00am

Have to specify the times when you book and it depends if you need to get another train home from Waterloo afterwards.

19.57 Bournemouth, arrives at Waterloo 22.15
21.05 Bournemouth, arrives at Waterloo 23.23

I know the last train from Waterloo into Twickenham/ Staines etc is 23.48, which is cutting it abit fine on the later option.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

The nearest station is Pokesdown, which complicates matters slightly. I'm not sure how far it is from Bournemouth station, probably a decent cab ride.

You can't get to Pokesdown from Reading on Virgin Trains, and you can't get cheap tickets from Waterloo to Pokesdown either, cheapest is about £30.

The APEX Vicky mention don't appear to be on sale yet from Waterloo to Bournemouth anyway. Either that or they are sold out.

They don't go on sale until 6-8 weeks b4 so should be anytime now.
They are definetly not on sale yet though.

Will investigate more, u can tell I'm bored!

 

[Vicky B]

ok it's only 4 minutes on a train between the two stations so will probably be not much at all in a cab.

sorted!

 

[saffrey]

it's about 1.5 miles from the ground to the station/town centre. Pokedown is about 10 minutes walk from the ground.

 

[nocoat]

Pokedown is about 10 minutes walk from the ground.

:bound: :bound:

Count me in for a Pokedown :yes:

Cutting it fine??? but where in Waterloo does it take 25 minutes to get from one platform to another????

 

[nocoat]

Hole in the Wall to Platform 18 :yes:

 

[Paulo Bee]

I love that boozer frequent there most lunch times!

Still no 25 minutes trek though!

 

[Vicky B]

I no that but everytime I've travelled back from an away game there's been some sort of delay or cancellation of some kind.

 

[Paulo Bee]

You shouldnt smash up the train then Vicky!

 

[Vicky B]

I have never done no such thing

 

[nocoat]

I!

Still no 25 minutes trek though!

depends how much you have left to drink :beer:

 

[nocoat]

I have never done no such thing

ahem, handcuffs, wycombe?? :thumbs: alcopops everywhere

 

[Vicky B]

ahem, handcuffs, wycombe?? :thumbs: alcopops everywhere

Ye but i didn't touch the train, can't help it if a know such vandals!!

Everytime I get on the train for an away match there's problems.
Huddlesfield,Cheltenham, Tranmere to name a few!

Trouble just seems to follow me.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

I no that but everytime I've travelled back from an away game there's been some sort of delay or cancellation of some kind.

If you miss your last train because of a delay or cancellation the train company has a responsibility to get you home, in a cab if needed.

Many Bees get cabs from Virgin Trains regularly.

 

[-superbees2k3-]

I will be there so say hello

Just wondered if it was her fault the train back was so late, which meant that I missed out on 10 pints of Stella at Ealing Broadway.

probably tight getting back after the game.

It cost me £18 one way from Newcastle (returning by coach via London)

Might not be many cheap tickets left though...

Just to let you know, you can go anywhere for £10 by coach in November with a Student Coachcard - www.nationalexpress.co.uk
