Sorry for the confusion. Panyd 12:54, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would it be useful to set a time. Its a big campus- for anyone driving-in a geotag would be helpful. If it were Wednesday I could have made it. --ClemRutter 13:23, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Trains[edit]

I've just looked up getting to Manchester from my town in East Anglia. £155 for a single, and that's with my rail card - £236 otherwise. And they wonder why we don't use the train. WilliamH 11:34, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's a microgrant for that. Panyd 12:52, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I was doing something wrong. It can be that expensive but I had the wrong box ticked or something. It's more like £60 for me. WilliamH 20:50, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cars[edit]

I'd be interested in helping out – I have 25+ years of teaching experience across all ages – but public transport is prohibitively expensive. I would have to drive from the West Midlands, so does anyone have any idea if it's possible to park somewhere in the vicinity? --RexxS 13:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cecil St, Car Park E is only £3 for the whole day and is only a few streets away from the library. Hope that helps! Would really love to see you there. Panyd 13:57, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
