Have you checked the coach prices, though time might be a factor, prices could be from around £18 upward.

If you're on facebook it might be worth posting on the Vapefest page, I'm pretty sure there was a carshare thread last year..

"Cheaper Advance fares usually go on sale 12 weeks before travel" www.thetrainline.com/ticketalert/I used this for going to London from Shrewsbury, and got tickets costing £44 all together for two adults, that's with return.

Yes, if you pick a date in about 10 weeks time, you will see how much more reasonable it is, so that will give you a basic idea of costs if booked between 12-8 weeks before date of vapefest. Also go for two singles and specified train. its cheaper again.
I've just traveled from The Wirral, Merseyside onto Liverpool then to London Euston, through tube to London Bridge and onto East Sussex for £20 each way, thats by picking an off peak journey and buying singles and booking 10 weeks in advance.

Sorry to hijack this thread What is vapefest? Where is it? When is it? And what does it cost? Dumb questions you might think, but I have only lived in the UK for four months in the last ten years

Sorry to hijack this thread What is vapefest? Where is it? When is it? And what does it cost? Dumb questions you might think, but I have only lived in the UK for four months in the last ten years 1. Vapefest is a gathering of dedicated vapers who are driven by shinyitus. 2. It is in a field in Shrewsbury 3. 6th and 7th August (which will be the only dry weekend this year) but the Scottish department will be arriving on the 5th August 4. Cost, that's subjective. How much can you drink and how big is your carry out.
There will also be two categories of entertainment, planned and spur of the moment. I suggest for a bit of spur of the moment entertainment, you keep an eye on DiscoDes. He is providing a ladies only taxi service with his new, state of the art, twin horse power (Des's legs) single seater, single wheeler, metallic green Spear and Jackson wheelbarrow. It has no doors to catch your fingers in. Entry and exit to this state of the art mode of transport is a kind of "pour in" and "tip out" affair. Also, keep an eye out for oor gill2009, she leaks when she laughs. So if you see her nip behind a straw bale, she's away doing a huggies changeover. Straw bale, I hear you ask, yep that is the seating provided. No expense spared, pure vintage 2016 Shropshire straw, strategically cut and packed tight so you can park your arse on it. Thanks to spikeyfridge, AAEC will have it's very own big, white, canvas, conference centre complete with straw bales. Yes sir, its the only conference centre you will go into dressed like Daniel Craig and come out looking like Worzel Gummidge. And there is the curtain call, you have to watch out for Perpetua, she may well be encouraged to perform a "legsakimbo". By her own admission, she performed her best one to date at last years event but a wee birdie tells me she is going for a Broadway performance this year. Hope she manages to pull it off, if she doesn't it might bring tears to a glass eye (or Des's eyes at least). Just a wee insight as to what could possibly be happening Lee. Might be something there you fancy that will encourage you to come on down and join us.
