We wont be I live 5 miles away and Glen is driving to my house to leave his car and then we are parking at my works near Hatton X to catch the bus to Richmond....

Tangy is parking at his other works depot (again near Hatton X and getting the same 490)

You probably left it a bit late to get a reasonable discount?

There are loads of hotels on the A4, Garion. Try websites like laterooms.com nearer the time, as you may only need to pay half the Travelodge cost for a way nicer hotel!

I looked at the Travelodge at Heathrow but it's getting to Richmond for the starting time. When I first looked at the Feltham travelodge price, it was £46 for both nights.

I dont mind paying the money, at least I know what I'm getting for for my money. Besides, the all you can eat breakfast is pretty tempting.....

Edit: I've booked it. At least I have room if anyone wants a place to stay now xD

Question: What's happening with tickets? I remember in 2009, I paid Soupie for my ticket...what's happening this year?
