    P
406.11MARVIN::TANGFri Mar 22 1996 19:068
I'd probably say 3 hours (2.5 if there's no traffic and we don't stop
at the services - not likely at all)!

BTW, any day is good for me (I'll have to arrange to stay overnight
with someone though)...


H.
406.12WOTVAX::LEVERSEDGEMSunshine on a rainy dayFri Mar 22 1996 19:078
    
    And I'll have to make arrangements to meet you guys somewhere inside
    Alton towers - wouldnt want to be wandering around alone all day
    looking for ya .

> why do you need to stay with someone H?

I don't think it's possible to catch a train from Eastleigh to Reading
to be in Reading by 6am (they don't run early enough to do that)...  

Could always check this out though over the weekend...

406.19WOTVAX::LEVERSEDGEMSunshine on a rainy dayFri Mar 22 1996 19:278
    
    Paula - I dont drive which means I'll have to get the coach down which
    means the coach will go straight into the coach park.. we'll think of
    somewhere to meet - dont want to play hide and seek all day ;-)

406.20KERNEL::PLANTCBeam me up Scotty!Fri Mar 22 1996 19:388
    
    
    H, you've just been, where do you think we should meet?
    
    If you need a place, I'm sure you could stay with us overnight.
    
    Chris
    :)
406.21MARVIN::TANGFri Mar 22 1996 19:4312
> H, you've just been, where do you think we should meet?

Well, as far as I know, everybody (no matter how you got there) has to
go on the monorail which takes you into the park...  So how about we
all meet in or just outside the station...

> If you need a place, I'm sure you could stay with us overnight.

Thanks, I'll bear that in mind...  BTW, where do you live?
