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?
Maybe there\'s something to be said for being different. We are who we are. What more could we ask for?

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

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]
Cheers, Bert

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:
