The Railway Tavern at Liverpool Street has been booked for 23rd July 2011 meet (same venue last year). To avoid confusion with the March meet, I'll keep this on the back burner until after that meet. It's booked now to give people more advance warning for booking days off work or flights or whatever.

From what I can see online Virgin and Chiltern have both released advance tickets on the meet day. First Great Western have still yet to. Grab em while there still dirt cheap guys.

It is James if they update it. They say that East Coast haven't released advance fares for the meet day when they have. Same with Virgin.

Advance ticket & reservation information last updated 28 April 2011. If it's updated weekly then maybe tomorrow it will change to reflect the current availability (which indeed does not include Great Western yet). SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

First Great Western now taking seat reservations and advance tickets for the weekend of the meet. The only major ones left to allow seat reservations and booking for the weekend of the meet are Virgin Trains and Southern.

Thanks for the Link Geoff. I presume that your goint off for a curry afterwards, if i was to join with the curry too what sort of time would that finish? Would be travelling back to bristol that night, and the ticket would only be for a certain service so obv don't want to book an early one and miss the curry, or book a late one and wait at paddington for hours. Thanks Geoff Log in to reply |

The curry is booked around lunchtime when we have a better idea of numbers. Usually we'll try for 7pm, allow 2 hours, another hour to get back to Paddington, and you should be good for a 10pm-ish departure. We can't guarantee that though.

Should be able to attend this meet.  :cool: I've already alerted my bank manager to be prepared for a large withdrawal from my account on or near to the day to fund my purchases of the expensive drinks at the pub :| which have no doubt gone up in price since the previous meet  Anyway, should hopefully be a Any views and / or opinions expressed by myself are from me personally and do not represent those of any company I either work for or am a consultant for.
