Hello!
Ive arranged my flights/trains and now only need to know how to get from Newbury Train Station to the racecourse (train arrives in at 19:46 I hope thats not too late!!).
Im travelling alone so if there is anyone from the gaming community at the train station can you please wear a 'Pooned' or 'ZOMG HE4DSHOT' t-shirt so I know who to follow :D
OK back to the serious -
1. Whats the best/easiest way to get from the station to the racecourse at 8pm?
2. What happens if I get lost :O

Honestly a taxi is gonna be the quickest way should be less than a tenner.
If you're not bringing a pc its about a 15-20 minute walk but that'd be a long way dragging a suitcase etc.
or you could just ask a friendly guildie to come out and pick you up ;)

Organised to be down on the Friday arriving in station at 19:46. I can change to the Thursday no problems it would give me some extra time and it would cost less I just didnt think we were allowed to go till the 6th :O

Have you got EAS tucool? If not, when the i30 signups open again, go into your account and add it as a service :p Then you are good to go for thursday :D

Yeah its going to be cheaper to get ticket with EAS than it is to fly on a bank holiday :D
I will re-book flights for Thursday and when signups open, book some EAS goodness :D

newbury racecourse has it's own train station, not all trains stop there but iirc it would leave you with about 100meters to walk with your kit.
