Is someone able to pick up my brother and I from Stoke on trent station at 8:15 for the Feb event please.

Hey Alex,

I'll most likely be training it myself (but earlier) and I thought I'd share the bus secrets I've discovered.

There is a bus to Consall scout camp (nearest stop is Blakeley Lane) on route 32.

Unfortunately it leaves from the bus station and not the rail station so you need to go there first. Details below:

25, 41, 85 Buses from Stoke station to Hanley bus station.

32 from Hanley (city centre) bus station towards Kingsley/Cheadle/Uttoxeter.

timetable here: www.stokebus.info/timetables/32.pdf

There are a couple of buses back on the Sunday too, around 11:05, 13:05 and 15:05

Cheers,
Mick.

Alex? Any chance you can get to the train station any earlier than 8.15? I'm hoping to be fully kitted up and have started drinking well before then

Mick, what time are you planning on arriving at Stoke? I'm aiming on leaving London around 1ish so will hopefully be in/around stoke by 5pm but let me know when you are due in and I'll try to arrive to collect you and then go to site (rather than go to site and then do a 40 min round trip.

I'll happily do a shuttle run back to the train station on Sunday. . squeezing in as many people as can fit! It's not that far out of my way and leaving you in the whims of a rural sunday bus service would be beyond cruel

Hi Shaun,

That's very generous thanks. It's 50/50 I'll get a lift from the wife, if she takes the kids away for the weekend so I'll let you know.

If I do train it I'd probably be at stoke at around 5pm ish.

Would defo like a lift on the Sunday though!

Cheers,
Mick.

You've got my mobile in case you get stuck right? If not drop me a PM.

Cheers

Shaun

If I rush back from work I could get to stoke for 7:20 if that is any better.

Ah you are breaking my black and shrivelled heart, I must be in a generous mood! Go on then, if you can get there for 7.20 I'll head over and pick you up at the station, otherwise you'll be properly late and where would we be without our battlecry inspiration

Ping me your mobile details so we can communicate on the day (assuming your battery doesn't run out. . . .)

Cheers

Shaun
