Dont be silly, get the train. Cheap if you book now and you can drink all weekend. :) Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Claw75 on September 04, 2009, 09:37:46 PM now dithering between getting the train and driving. anyone know if it's free parking at the hotel? Dont be silly, get the train. Cheap if you book now and you can drink all weekend. :) I can drink all weekend anyway, car will just be parked up. If parking is free then it'll probably be cheaper to drive, and I dont have to worry about lugging my girl suitcase around on the tube and can pack more shoes :)up Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Claw75 on September 04, 2009, 11:25:01 PM just in case it's of interest to anyone else, looks like parking is £7 a day at Holiday Inn. I think I'm going to follow the wise words of the Divine Comedy and take the National Express :)up
Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Rooky9 on September 06, 2009, 09:34:16 AM The holiday inn express car park is also ales car park. Ales hand out validated tickets to customers. All you do is get one of those on the Sunday and you have free parking!

Also, lol @ this post blatently being done from an iPhone. Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Claw75 on September 06, 2009, 01:56:42 PM ah ok - so if I grab a validated ticket on Sunday will it let me out of the car park Monday morning?
Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Cf on September 07, 2009, 05:32:52 PM ah ok - so if I grab a validated ticket on Sunday will it let me out of the car park Monday morning? I'm not 100% sure actually. It'd deffo get you out on the sunday. And the casino doesn't close til like 6am, so presumably it'll get you out then too. But I've never been there that late with my car. Whether they'll work the next day I'm not sure... Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: BulldozerD on September 07, 2009, 06:00:14 PM prob not as the casino shuts at 6.
i have left my car overnight there once and had to pay the morning after, i think only if you go back after 6pm next day can you cheat with the validated ticket Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Claw75 on September 07, 2009, 06:32:06 PM ah ok. worst case scenario I'll grab a ticket on Sunday, leave the car park then come back and only pay for one night!
Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: BulldozerD on September 07, 2009, 06:42:34 PM i think one night is 12 quid
might have to get ticket, drive out then go back in???? Title: Re: travel arrangements Post by: Claw75 on September 07, 2009, 06:44:26 PM i think one night is 12 quid might have to get ticket, drive out then go back in???? says £7 on holiday inn website. maybe they do discounted parking?

They probably have a discount at the hotel as you say |
