Please post here if 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.
Also If it possible arrange to arrive in pick up points around the same time.

UK Based But Need a Lift?
Thursday

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.

whats the date mate?
updated :)
I'd appreciate a lift on Thursday from Heathrow if possible, could also make it to any London tube station if that helps. Obviously I'd like to see all out international travellers sorted out first, I could also make the journey by train if needs be.
Bring on LAN XXVIII \o/ :woot2:

Any assistance getting either way would be greatly appreciated! :)
I'll put myself down for the LHR crew. At the moment, based on the numbers we'll need 2 cars total. If more people book for LHR then we might need more.
At a push I could take 4 people plus luggage, but that would ignore Pnuts and force SJ to sit between Spiritus and Othbarty for the whole journey, so let's not be that cruel eh? :P
Any other volunteers to join me on the LHR run?
Thanks TL, I know we will have more coming in on the Thursday so we might need more.
Will be flying in on Thursday most probably via Luton. Haven't booked any flights yet.
Not sure if we're going back immediately after the lan. Missus has family in York and they want us to go up there. Is anyone travelling back to that area by any chance?
Arriving 10.40 am on the Thursday LHR T5. Prefer a BMW with heated seats and wine gums.

Arriving LHR terminal 2 thursday at 11.05 with flight SK4629, leaving the 11th from terminal 2 on the 17:30 headed for viking country again.
Strongly suspect there'll be more Norwegians on those flights too.

You know, I still haven't checked if the rear seats are heated. Must get around to that some day. The front heaters work brilliantly though :p

Brilliant, I'll grab you for LHR Terminal 2 please!
Most likely going to book stuff tomorrow but thought I ask beforehand, is anyone going by either Stansted or Heathrow on Friday at around 11ish and back on Sunday?
They'll be a convoy going back to LHR on Sunday yes, but I'm picking up LHR on Thursday so will already be at the LAN on Friday. You're welcome to join the convoy to LHR for the return trip on Sunday though.

That would be awsome! Just wondering about pickup on friday cause Stansted is really easy to get from to March just using the train and I'd rather fly to/from the same airport here at home cause it makes parking my car easier :P
Hal go for what you need to mate and we see if anyone is avialble quite a few of us are going up on the Thursday. But some people are arriving on the Friday too :)
looking at airfare right now, how is return by London City Airport? anyone going that way? or able to drop me and my missus at some train/tube station that will connect us :)

Think that one might a toughie mate not sure hopefully someone will be able to help
It's not great for a pickup, but it is great for train connections as you're in the centre of London. Depending on when you arrive, you could either train to March, or get to somewhere around the M25 on the north side of London and get picked up from there? My route from LHR back to march will go clockwise around the M25 and pass places like Watford (mainline station from London Euston), Potters bar (mainline station from Kings Cross) etc.
looking at google maps I can find a number of ways to get there so I think we'll just go for it at we can sort it out later.. the airfare is 200£ cheaper this way, so I can accept being a little inconvenienced :p
and it's only the return that is from LCY, we arrive at heathrow 15 min before the other norwegians :)
When are you planning on flying in. There's a slim possibility I'll be in that area on Thursday 'til about lunchtime. Slim but worth a punt.
edit: sorry just read it was outbound only you're looking for from City.

Pick up shouldnt be a problem and TL idea seem quite sensbile or at the very least you can get a lift back to heathrow and then train it in to London!

I can drop you to woolwich arsenal or to my local station which is just a couple of stops to woolwich arsenal where you can change to DLR to LCY.
Be very willing to return the favor of all the trips you have made for me in Norway Mirianna.
So basically what you're saying you're willing to drop them nearly there so they get totally lost and confused and have to drag their luggage into one of the tightest and annoying rail systems in the whole of London [emoji12]

I'm sure if Mirianna bribes you with beer that he'll persuade you to make the 10 min detour to LCY to save him the trouble of DLR travel!
Details added to the flight OP and GM tagged for the return trip! :norty:
Right flights booked. Will arrive at Stansted at 7:55 (Ye early I know but don't mind killing some time at Stansted) with flight FR53 and I'll leave from the same airport at 18:30 with FR58, Pick up would be appreciated on the Friday (if not there is always the train) and a lift back on Sunday would be even more appreciated!

Vargen, I added you to the OP in the list of travels.
On the Thursday, if nobody else grabs you then we'll swing by on the way from LHR and pick you up - I reckon we'll have 9 people in 3 cars, so it is manageable. The Sunday should be easier, we'll just twist someone's arm if they are heading in that general direction!

Haha, superb. Looking forward to it :)
Am happy to help with return trips to either Heathrow or Stanstead on Sunday. I usually leave on Sunday in the late morning so if you don't mind getting to the airport and waiting then can help out.

A lift to a train station would be great :) It looks like the March trains are actually running at a decent speed on the Sunday this time, so hopefully just a short sprint 5 minutes up the road will do it, but if they return to normal service and morph into buses - is anyone going near a station with a fast route into London (e.g. Cambridge/Peterborough)? So I know who to pester on the day :flirty:
Need some help with transport for two.
I should be booking tomorrow (Payday), and it will either be arrivals at Heathrow (9.45 am), or Luton (2.00 pm), both of them Thursday 8th. No return on Sunday 11th required as we'll be going up North.
Which is the best choice for getting a lift? Luton is between Heathrow and March, but there is the time difference. Can anyone help, or is transport to the LAN going to be an issue?
I could pickup from Stansted...?
Unfortunately, no flights to stansted are available.
looks to be some cheap transfers from Luton to Stansted if no-one else is able to pick you up?

If it Thursday mate then I think Heathrow is best we seem to have a lot of people turning up then. Also not sure who is coming from the Luton way.
We sort of pass Luton on the way back from Heathrow to the LAN. The main consideration though if timing, the earlier flight at Heathrow makes it much easier to align with the other inbound flights, so my vote goes to Heathrow too!

Alrighty then. Heathrow it is, attaching times and stuff.

Does someone have an idea on how to go to the pickup zone from Terminal 4 to whatever Terminal number the pickup zone is at?
Have never been to Heathrow before, and it looks massive.
According to the map, we can go down to the underground station and travel to other Terminals and whatnot.

Taking a train from March > Peterborough > Grantham > York. We booked via http://ojp.nationalrail.co.uk/. Decent prices, especially the 11am one with 75 for a first class trip.

As you are early enough it would simplify things for us if you could get to the Terminal 2 drop off zone, but if not then we'll sort you a Terminal 4. (each Terminal has its own drop off zones, pick up usually need short-term parking, so we tend to pick you up in the drop off zone for that terminal!)
Right, we'll go to terminal 2 then.
Nearer the time I'll set up a Google Hangout for LHR pickups so that we can all keep in touch.
Uni has kindly offered to give me a lift from LHR. consider me sorted. :yahoo:

Thanks for the volunteering everyone, we just about managed to squeeze everyone in but have no extra room whatsoever!
The planned pickups are in the OP. The LHR crew will meet as usual at the MacDonalds nearby and track flight numbers in until they land. Fish and chips on the way up seems a cracking idea again!!

Any chance of a lift to March train station on Sunday just after breakfast etc - my train leaves just after 11am...
Also, I don't suppose any of you could dash up to March train station and back again on Thursday? My train is due in at 17:37 and last time the taxi took about 25 minutes to turn up!
Alternatively, ...which taxi company in March is the best?
pm sent
If we can carpool for that, me and missus have to catch an 11am train on Sunday from March as well. And have to pickup tickets from station as well.
Payment in alcohol being offered.
sorry.. pickup on Thursday only..
I'm sure we can sort something out at the lan, or split a taxi on Sunday :-)
