stadman Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Public transport on Saturday is somewhat easier than on a Sunday. On Saturday it is possible to use the Marsh Barton park and ride bus in reverse. The nearest station is Exeter Central/Queen Street. The park and ride car park is right next door to the venue. By the way I shan't be making it this year as I am currently on holiday in sunny, yes, sunny Glasgow. Good luck to Dave and the team. SS We have a courtesy coach laid on Sunday (Hamilton Gray) From St David's and Central stations as well as Sidwell Street. 25 min's see exhibition guide via www.exemrs.co.uk for times or pm me.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted May 30, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2014 The public transport complication to station master may be where he is starting from rather than the Exeter end. ??? maybe ?? Andy Bit of both Andy - potentially seriously exacerbated by what happens at the Exeter end. Home to Exeter Central is almost exactly 3 hours with 3 changes, not the end of the world of course but add the walk to/find the shuttle 'bus then its time to Marsh Barton and I'm looking at the best part of an 8 hour day simply to travel to & fro - assuming trains and 'buses connect nicely at Central. St Davids would be far more convenient for me on the Sunday but the earliest I can get there wholly by public transport is after 13.00 although I could be there a couple of hours earlier if I drive to Reading and catch a train a couple of hours earlier. And in any case I'm not sure if the domestic authorities would welcome me taking another day off to visit an exhibition having done several in recent weeks but that is a separate issue of course.

RMweb Premium Indomitable026 Posted June 1, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 1, 2014 Humour him! Ask him why there are no GWR kettles? Er? No I'm not going down that route..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted June 1, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 1, 2014 Just as well that you would need to widen the track gauge by 12.8mm for my GWR kettles then! No fear of them being seen on DitD. PS. Spotted a toilet on a model yesterday that was NOT built by Stubbzie. Wrong gauge young fellah. St Blazey was on the Cornwall Minerals Railway and notwithstanding court action by the Cornwall Railway it never laid much in the way of a third rail for proper gauge trains and what it did lay was next to useless.
