peanuts Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 just testing for interest for now would anybody be interested in traveling by chartered pullman train to either of the above fixtures obviously at slightly higher cost but this would include full 3 course meal served at your table on outward journey plus light buffet on return complimentry wine tea/coffee coach transfer to & from the ground train to pick up/ set down at rochdale shaw & mumps ? not aimed at the boozer cruiser crowd more your family/ group of friends thing who dont want the long drive there and back any interest ?

Tommy_Fent Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) yeah for Brighton, but that strikes me as a tall order, how could this be done? Edited January 14, 2009 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 yeah for Brighton, but that strikes me as a tall order, how could this be done? hire the train from west coast railways they do all the rest ie train crew routing times etc had my long service award at work part of which was a trip out on this train with with the full slap up meal etc was quite a pleasant experiance thats what gave me the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daznathe Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 doesnt strike me as the kind of thing that could be pulled of independently. i like the thought process though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Sounds like a top idea. doesnt strike me as the kind of thing that could be pulled of independently. i like the thought process though. Its simple enough, all you need is for the train to be available and the means to pay for it. Probably easier than organising a wedding reception or sportsmans dinner.

Fyldelatic Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 May be worthwhile for a Wembley play-off final, as you need to fill a train with ca 600 passengers. Plymouth recently chartered two trains to London for their Arsenal cup tie, with 1500 fans on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It not like getting a coach which you could just stick on the motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanuts Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 how about fitting the train into an empty slot on the national timetable? It not like getting a coach which you could just stick on the motorway not realy aproblem tommy a lot less frieght runs at weekends so train would be able to use there slots also slots are left in the time table for just this eventuality this was realy just a float it and see exercise before suggesting it to the club /trust for them to organise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24hoursfromtulsehill Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 For the Brighton trip, can you pick up BALLS and BOAST and OASIS members on the way? I'd quite like to be picked up at Dalston Kingsland station if that's okay. Much obliged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise, Balham for me please, although if it helps I am willing to put myself out and walk a little further to Streatham Hill. If I could book the return journey for about 10PM that would be great. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
