RMweb Gold big jim Posted January 30, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 30, 2018 Trying so decide which day to go, I finish in derby at 06:00 Saturday morning so do I grab a brekkie and call in on the way home getting a few hours kip in the van at the show ground before the show starts or do I come over especially on Sunday (the downside is I’d have to use my own vehicle and fuel) Decisions decisions, looking forward to it either way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 1, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2018 Well I’ll be off after breakfast to collect the hire van. Today’s jobs being to collect barriers from Warley Club and the Chiltern Association stores and to deliver them to Showground in readiness for the Stafford exhibition this weekend. I did however get a couple of hours Modelling in yesterday with a session in weathering some of the new stock to be used on my layout Chebstone this weekend. All for now Eltel 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin2 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Should it be necessary to withdraw the service for whatever reason, intending travellers will have to make alternative arrangements to reach the exhibition. This is a bit of a downer. What should a stranger to Stafford do if he finds himself outside the railway station (having paid for an expensive rail ticket) and discovers there is no bus? I have been planning for some months to come on Saturday - but now I'm not so sure. ...R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 1, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hi It’s a standard clause that any organisation makes and really nothing to worry about. Should the very unlikely happen the taxi rank is outside the railway station and I believe on the Saturday a service bus would be another option.

Robin2 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Should the very unlikely happen the taxi rank is outside the railway station and I believe on the Saturday a service bus would be another option. Thank you for the quick response. Do you know how much the taxi-fare would be? And what is the number of the appropriate bus? ...R Edited February 1, 2018 by Robin2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 1, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2018 It’s the Uttoxerter bus I believe (suggest you Google it) Taxi I guess £5-7 In 15 years the preserved buses have always run. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 1, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2018 As I don't know the area I don't know what I should Google - sorry. ...R A quick look in google maps pin pointing the station and show ground gives you various options of getting there, the service busses are showing as a good hour + journey, as opposed to 11 minutes by car, 3.something miles, so a taxi would be best if the free bus didn’t run for whatever reason, walking is showing as 45 mins but I certainly wouldn’t fancy doing that as it’s at the top of a big hill!

RMweb Premium ELTEL Posted February 1, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2018 All today’s tasks completed (see posting 38) Tomorrow all the available members (about 35) of the club start the exhibition build at 09:30 at the Showground with marking out, cabling up, signage and endless hot drinks. Meanwhile a 08:30 start for two of us loading all the items in the clubroom and if all goes well arrive at Showground for 09:30 Layouts and traders start to arrive around lunchtime. I’ll post a final pre exhibition update tomorrow evening. For those who have not been to our exhibition we are very easy to find follow the signs for the Showground which is on the Uttoxeter Rd out of Stafford (you will also see signs for Antique Fair which is also on this weekend on the same location. For those traveling by train we offer a complimentary preserved bus service on both days. Full bus timetables and information of layouts and traders attending are available on www.staffordrailwaycircle.org.uk 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
