Picture the scene...

Claire: sitting at work, realising she hasn't actually booked a flight down to London for Peg2 yet.

*Bugger, thinks me*

~time dilation field~

Claire: on the BA website, looking at return flights from Newcastle to Heathrow and back again.

£98.40.

Well, arse.

*thinks*

*checks GNER for train fares*

£25.10

The train down leaves Newcastle at 7:18 in the morning.

Flying Vs Getting up at gods awful time in the morning and having an extra £70 to spend in the dealer's room on total crap.

Yeah, you totally know what won *g*

On the upside, the GNER trains have power points in them, so all I need to do is plug in Sheppard, queue up something to watch and ignore the world around me.

(They're also apparently all WiFi enabled. It's free in first class and would cost about £8 for 3 hours, which is the duration of the journey.)

Wow, what a difference! But I'm glad you'll have no problem getting to the party.

*looks forward to Peg 2*

Ah yes, the joys of trains. *sighs nostalgically*
What time you going to be arriving at the hotel? Because I'm going to be hyper and jet-lagged and need someone to squee at *grins*

*g* By the time I get in and out of Kings Cross and out to heathrow, I'll probably be at the hotel for about midday on the Friday. Temaris is thinking about taking the Friday off work, so she might actually be there a little earlier (since she's already in London).
