As we have quite a few people coming in to the UK via airports I thought it would help somewhat to collate a list of who is arriving when and where so that people can volunteer to help out other dMw members with the transportation requirements.
Please post here is you need help with transport from an airport to the LAN (or back again). When transport has been offered by another LAN/Meet attendee we'll add the details here so that we can see who has transport and who still needs to be helped out.

UK Based But Need a Lift?

If you are coming to the LAN or the Meet and passing within an hour of these airports, please consider helping out a fellow dMw member and posting here to offer them a lift!
In the mean time I am looking into another option which might help the STN group. No promises, but we'll see what we can do.

I'll handle that pickup! Now go round up some additional mad norwegians to join you on the roadtrip!
We're working on it :woot2:
Quote from: TeaLeaf;386498I'll handle that pickup! Now go round up some additional mad norwegians to join you on the roadtrip!
I'll be in London for a few days before the lan, so I can be picked up at pretty much any tube station or from my hotel, or I can make it out to Heathrow to coincide with the other arrivals.
Departure:
17:10 London, Heathrow Airport (LHR)Terminal 4
KLM KL1022
I'd really appreciate a lift again this year if at all possible. I'm booked in from Thursday-Sunday.
I won't have much gear to transport just a travel backpack and small bag for my laptop. I can easily get to London Heathrow. I'll let the international arrivals sort out their transport first and will try and tag along with someone if there are still spaces available :)

What he said :D
Right I'm bit slow but now is the flights booked. Assuming everything goes on time I will be arriving on Stansted on the Friday at 11:20 with flight FR53 and my flight home FR58 will be leaving Stansted at 17:25 on the sunday so is anyone free for doing a pickup on Friday and/or drop me off on Sunday?
right on Hal!!
Looks like I'll need some help with the Heathrow crew. I could do four at a squeeze on the Thursday, but we have four (or five with Faust) to pick up on Thursday and five to go back on Sunday so I reckon it's best to plan for two cars. Anyone available to step in and help?
There is no squeezing with me, Kake, spiritus and faust...
You'd have more luck with an industrial sized compactor;-)
Why change a system that works, BrotherTobious express reporting for duty :)
It's zebra time!
Forever alone :(
I guess there is some sort of train system from Stanstead to March?
Quote from: Vargen;387181Forever alone :(
I guess there is some sort of train system from Stanstead to March?
Yep - you can get a train direct from the airport. I think it stops at Cambridge, Ely and then March.
All those stations are on my way to March, if anyone needs picking up from a station.
HI Varg,
TooBad and I are travelling up together. We should be able to pick you up from Stanstead on our way up. However, I won't be able to leave that early on Sunday to get you back to the airport on time. Perhaps there's someone else that is leaving early on Sunday morning?
NF
I can help out with lifts from Heathrow on the way up and possibly with the early lifts back to Stanstead on Sunday although I will have my beloved with me and she may not like the idea of early starts and also reduced room.

Awesome! I suspect I will have to use the train back on Sunday, as it is pretty early. It was either that or 12 hours later ><

You might want to have a chat with the beloved seeing shes making me and melisanda fly on some weird airport called south hampton so we could drive up with her for a few hours :roflmao:

Well you know I don't take up that much room, if you find that you don't mind an early start ;)
Got an email now saying my departure time has been pushed up by 10 minutes to 11:20, not that it's a lot.
Quote from: BrotherTobious;387162Why change a system that works, BrotherTobious express reporting for duty :)
Do you have room for two more? Me and my wife was originally thinking about having one night in London before going to March. But it looks like it will be easier just to go there on Thursday. We arrive at Heathrow on the same flight as the other Norwegians on thursday morning.

Ok mate I will post up and see if we can get some more help at Heathrow can you post up you flights out info, so that we can organize you getting back. :)
Thanks
Quote from: BrotherTobious;387259can you post up you flights out info, so that we can organize you getting back.
Back is not a issue for us. We are going to london by train. We will go back to Norway from Gatwick monday evening.
Getting to March is the only ride we need!

I've added you and your wife to the OP for pick up by me, Toby and possibly we'll requisition one more too. Whatever happens we'll get you to March.
Any volunteers to grab the last Heathrow car slot to help out?
I can drop Hal back to Stansted on Sunday. Unfortunately I can't pick him up on Friday morning as I'm going to swing by a client in Peterborough on the way to March.
Spoken to Gortex he will help on Thursday Heathrow pick up.
for the avoidance of confusion I will pick up Varg and also grab TwoBad on my way through..
Quote from: BrotherTobious;387264Spoken to Gortex he will help on Thursday Heathrow pick up.
Thanks Gortex :thumbsup:
Checkpoint.OP updated to this point, please all check that you are listed in the correct location and on the correct day and that way we'll know who is sorted and who still needs to be helped.

Can you try to make it to Heathrow Terminal 2 for say 9.45am on the Thursday please? We'll pick you up along with the internationals from there.
Quote from: TeaLeaf;387275Thanks Gortex :thumbsup:
Checkpoint.
OP updated to this point, ....
or not :)
Hi Folks,
Slight Change. I've got a Rugby fixture on the Sunday in Salisbury so I need to get there as soon as I can. I'll get up and take Varg to the airport in the morning. TwoBad - You're on your own (I think you were initially driving up yourself anyway)..
NF
I might not get a hire car this year if there are any lifts that make sense with the below...?
On Thursday I'd be coming from work which is in Hatfield, AL10 9NE. I can get slow trains from there towards Cambridge and Peterborough.
On Sunday I need to get back to near kings cross in London, so unless anyone is already heading to central-ish London(?) any main line station with fast direct London links would be great as March trains on Sunday are poor. Cambridge, Hatfield and Luton airport parkway are all pretty good options for me.
Thanks :-)
I'm heading up from Watford on Thursday morning, probably quite early as She Who Must Be Obeyed is heading off to work about 6.30am. Can pick people up if needed but would be early.
Suicidal - Sunday isn't a problem so I could run you back down to London. PM'd you anyway.
Quote from: smilodon;388373I'm heading up from Watford on Thursday morning
Let's have a chat as we're all down in Watford (en route to Heathrow) at about the same time. Might be able to switch some of ours to you or just convoy.
Hal, if someone else doesn't jump in then I'll pop over from the hotel on Friday morning and pick you up from the airport.
Quote from: smilodon;388373Suicidal - Sunday isn't a problem so I could run you back down to London. PM'd you anyway.
Sunday return would be great, thanks!
Anyone going near Hatfield on Thursday around 4pm? ...or near any train station on the Hatfield and Cambridge/Peterborough lines sometime around 5? ...or who i can ring on the evening who might be sober enough to pop up to March station around 6? :-)
Quote from: TeaLeaf;388538Hal, if someone else doesn't jump in then I'll pop over from the hotel on Friday morning and pick you up from the airport.
That would be very nice but you shouldn't have to do that I don't really mind taking the train to March it only takes about 1 hour
Quote from: TeaLeaf;387276Can you try to make it to Heathrow Terminal 2 for say 9.45am on the Thursday please? We'll pick you up along with the internationals from there.
Excuse the late reply. I posted in the other LAN thread that I wont be attending after all. :(
Starting a new job on monday and am flying out to California for 4 weeks of training.
No probs, thanks for the update.
Quote from: Michelanio;388567That would be very nice but you shouldn't have to do that I don't really mind taking the train to March it only takes about 1 hour
Ok, see you at the hotel then! :thumbsup:
Quote from: TeaLeaf;388769Ok, see you at the hotel then! :thumbsup:
Yep! :thumbsup: Of course if someone happens to drive by Stansted I wouldn't mind a pick-up or if by some minor chance someone is still sober around 13-14 a short pick-up from the train station in March would be very nice :)
Thanks Hal.
I'll pick you up from March station on the Friday (and drop you back to the airport on Sunday). I'll pm you my mobile number if you don't still have it ?
Quote from: Penfold;388775Thanks Hal.

Just checked my phone and unless you changed number I still got it, thanks Pen :)
