At the time, pre-Heathrow Express, it advertised that the train journey from Euston to Birmingham International was quicker than getting out of London to Heathrow.

arran Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hi all for the next year or so everyone has to temper their expectations of exhibitions . Most will play the cautious card so they live to fight another day , it’s unrealistic to expect them to pick up where they left of. regards Arran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a link on the Ally Pally show web page that will give you your subscriber number. Or it will be printed on the address label on your next copy of BRM that should be arriving shortly.

Back to the exhibition itself, as this is really what its all about, for me there are a few must see layouts. In no particular order Dobris. Canada Street Lindon Road Sidmouth Norge sounds like a bit of fun. Trader wise, Titfield Thunderbolt will definately get a visit as I have a few, ahem....'needs'....... It should be a good couple of weeks with the SWAG meet the weekend before. Rob. There's been a change of plan as I have now been asked to bring Banbury instead of Dobris. Hopefully Dobris will be there next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent 14 months commuting to Birmingham a few years ago so I really don't need to look at a model of Banbury station And..Sidmouth? I remember it well. Many, many years ago I cycled there from Exeter. It was a good ride, I particularly enjoyed the final run down to the beach. Unfortunately as the old saying points out 'what goes down has to climb back up...'. Edited February 27, 2022 by AndrueC 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that you send your details to the exhibition team at exhibit@warnersgroup.co.uk who will be able to assist you with your subscription number problem This email address is monitored daily Monday – Friday. I have used them in the past and found them very helpful. But if you are not concerned with the subscriber discount and you want the early entry, then by purchasing an advanced ticket, this will allow you to enter the exhibition early at 09.30.

In view of the costs from Penzance to Thornbury, and back, a £3 saving is neither here not there Have you looked at split ticketing? The last time I did a return trip Plymouth-Bristol, there was a good saving, by breaking it down, Plymouth-Taunton and Taunton-Bristol, obviously you may need to break it down further. The train(s) you split ticket on must stop at those stations. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 So a turn up for the books, I am going to be in Weston Super Mare from 27-29th April and my journey home on the 29th will be right past Thornbury. So rather than a trip down and back in one day, a day out at this exhibition is going to be my rest on the way home. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I just wanted to thank the organisers of this year's Bristol show for inviting me back for a repeat visit with my layout, BEIJIAO. The Bristol exhibition in 2018 was the layout's first public show - and we learnt a lot. In the intervening four years I have made several upgrades and, four years later, we are returning with a layout which is finally 'finished' - hopefully! Here is a video made at Aly Paly a few weeks ago to give you an idea of what you'll see in three weeks time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 LOOKING FOR GUEST OPERATORS FOR BRISTOL! Hello all I'm bring my large CHINESE HO layout, BEIJIAO (see video above), to the Bristol show and due to unforeseen circumstances I am one operator short - would you like to be that extra guest operator? There will be a hotel room available on a B&B basis and we all love a night in the pub after a day's operating. So, how about it? There are all sorts of options as the show is setting up on Thursday and open to the public Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Please send me a PM if you would like to be part of team or any (or all) of those days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
247 Developments Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 This time next week the show will be open Were trying to pack all the plates so it its in stock we will have it athe the Show Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEAMYAKIMA Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) This is a second appeal for a guest operator for my large HO layout next weekend. I have had two offers, but they were both from about 200 miles away from the venue and whilst I can offer a B&B on Friday and Saturday, I was hoping to find some a tad closer to Thornbury as our travelling expenses budget is already overdrawn. So, fancy a chance to operate a layout (and see the show for free) then please send me a PM - and I don't mean Boris.
