Title: People travelling from Brum Post by: zelda on April 08, 2007, 09:11:30 PM I just looked at trains to luton and it says I have to get a train to Milton Keynes and then a bus to luton. I am terrible at travelling and any changes are bad enough - is this the only way to get to Luton other than by car and air? I fear I will end up in some far away land, all alone... :(

Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: zelda on April 08, 2007, 09:54:12 PM :( I could cycle I suppose :) Id still get lost though :D
Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: kinboshi on April 08, 2007, 11:45:07 PM I'm sure you can go from New Street to Leicester, and then on to Luton from there...:dontask:
Although, not sure what time these trains run. http://www.traintimes.org.uk/ Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: KingPoker on April 09, 2007, 12:14:50 AM I'm sure you can go from New Street to Leicester, and then on to Luton from there...:dontask: Although, not sure what time these trains run. http://www.traintimes.org.uk/ Kinboshi= Young TK in the making :dontask: Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: tikay on April 09, 2007, 12:20:05 AM From where are you travelling Zelda? There has to be a better way than a bus from Milron Keynes, & Luton has two Stations, both on the Midland Mainline.

Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: zelda on April 09, 2007, 12:04:45 PM Tikay my local station is Sandwell - 1 stop from new street.
What time you leaving dan? Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: tikay on April 09, 2007, 12:14:32 PM Tikay my local station is Sandwell - 1 stop from new street. What time you leaving dan? If you go by train, EITHER..... Get a train fom New Steeet to Leicester, them it's direct to Luton. (You want Luton, NOT Luton Airport Parkway, ideally, though both are quite close). OR.... Go via London - go New St to London Euston, then walk along Marleybone Road (or get the Tube, but it's not far), past Britain's ugliest building - The British Library, to St Pancras, (admire the stunning architecture of St Pancras while there) where you can get a Train to Luton (takes 25 mins), or even Kings Cross Thameslink, which also serves Luton, but the Rolling Stock is less attractiive. Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: zelda on April 09, 2007, 12:19:24 PM Ok ty :)
The london way sounds a little confusing so will rule that out :). Title: Re: People travelling from Brum Post by: TightEnd on April 09, 2007, 01:14:55 PM cough
when are you wishing to travel down Zelda? As a valued and integral part of the winning HU team I could meet you at MK if that would help Only for that reason of course, and because I am local. I will be the handsome one wearing a red carnation and carrying a copy of The Economist. Or something else similar. Viz maybe.
