BTTT again

 

This absolutely definitely IS on! 

John & Me WILL be there   even if on our own    

 

Plan is to meet at Piccadilly Station underneath the display board @ 1015am prompt, with objective of catching train out at 1040am.

Beverages will start being consumed in the Cellar Bar (click here) Batley  at around mid day 

 

We are intending to buy tickets in advance, although those that wish can leave it until the day.

We do need to know if your coming so we can look out for you at Manchester, John will have his AO shirt on.

 

Here's a link to our planned route...

Have done similar in the past but won't be able to join you this time

 

However, you are missing out on a treat by not going to the Head of Steam on Huddersfield Station (it;s WAY better than the Kings Head and to this day I don't know why Oz and James missed it...) If you can spare more time in Huddersfield, you MUST go the the Rat and Ratchet!

 

It's possible that I and a couple of others will be up doing something similar in September. We drive up and over the Peaks to Huddersfield on Saturday and the following day do Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Leeds and back for a curry and a pint. Monday is a rest day and we make our way back dharn sarf in the afternoon. Would be good to meet up at some point along that crawl! But that's something for later - did not mean to hijack this.

Would love to have joined you, but every weekend's spare moments are tied up with car building at the moment ready for IVA.

[John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO]

Yes John we may have met but probably in passing at Stoneleigh or at the factory days, so I'll look out for the AO shirt and the red carnation, thanks for the simple recognition system beats having a huge flag . Depending on the weather I will probably have my WSCC jacket on so if I walk by give me a shout. I will be there before the witching hour under the display at no later than 10:15, I want to make sure I get the same ticket as you guys, we have 25 minutes to sort that till the 10:40 departs. Looking forward to it, hope the trains have facilities.
