I'm driving up Rich but not till the Saturday morning. Only problem with driving is that you will need to think about parking. There is none at the hotel
The pre-book price for the multi storey next to Earls Court is £35.50 from 7 am Sat morning till 7am Monday morning. You would need to add an extra day to that unfortunately.
Just thought I'd give you a heads up

Cheers

Darren

Karyn and Andy are you taking standard or first class?

Cheer's Steve

Hi Steve,

Just standard class, our prices were £16 each (single fare) going up and £11 each (single fare) coming back. Then postage & booking fee, totalling £57 altogther for the two of us.

Rich - Honiton and Yeovil are on the direct line to Waterloo, we don't need to change trains, so maybe thats why its a bit cheaper? Don't know.

Cheers,
Karyn

Hi Rich,

Looks like you can get a standard class saver return for £30.30, so that would be chaeper for you (equivalent of £15 each way).

Cheers,
Karyn

There's going to be an Alien talk on the Saturday now. This could be more appropriate for having the marines escort the guests onto the stage and then stand off to the side. Something to see if showmasters are interested in us doing anyway.

Cheers

Darren

Add me to the list, hotel and trains(ugh) booked.

Great news Darren and Simon.

Ok for the southwest lot I think we should get off at Wimbledon station as there is a tube that goes straight from Wimbledon to Earls court station for the tube.

As if wee go to Waterloo we have to get the tube from Waterloo to Westminster and then to Earls court.

Wimbledon station is before Clapham junction. Due to the fact that waterloo and Clapham station are were all the London trains meet and this means they will be busy.

So get off at Wimbledon station and on the tube to earls court in one hit.

What do you think Karyn and Andy?

Cheer's Steve

Anyone know how much celeb autographs are at this show/con?

Thanks,

Russ

Hi Data,
Our train doesn't stop at Wimbledon station.

I think we'll have to go to Waterloo and use the underground Jubliee line to get to the District line, which will take us to Earls Court. Its not far.
Cheers,
Karyn

I've updated the first post with a list of all the Alien(s) related guests going to this show as well as the days they are appearing and cost of autograph.

Cheers

Darren

That nice, £95 for all seven Aliens people there.

It goes right though Wimbledon station tho, I thought it would stop there also.

But I gust waterloo station and than tube to Westminster tube station to Earle court.

Earls court to hotel as follow.

Out of station, turn right first right turn, end of road Earle court. turn left, 50 meters stop and turn left at hotel.

Cheer's Steve

You can tell Steve's an engineer even his directions are down to the mm

i was going on a budget of £20 per autograph..good to see that im going to be under budget.... John Hurt is only doing saturday? going to have fight to the front of the queue on saturday..

Who gets the free tickets? Are we going to have do some topless mud wrestling to work it out? Or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

That's not too bad. We can't expect free entry everywhere. Besides, it was the same deal at CM: Glasgow ...

As long as "dealers" have exemption from the virtual queuing for the guests, I'm happy.
