The official travelling to Barnsley thread

[Giraffe]

When are you leaving?

What are the trains like?

When are the coaches leaving?

Get out of Sussex and it's easy after that I think.

Do you know what? I think I'll give this one a miss.

It's ment to snow in Sussex most of the day and night so getting back will be the problem

 

[Conkers]

Can't see the Supporters coach going to be honest, considering Brighton and Hove buses aren't running at all.

 

[Giraffe]

Am I alone then in thinking there shouldn't be a problem?

Surely by the time the coach goes the roads will be clear?

Most main roads are clear (of-sorts) anyway, once your North of Gatwick its fine.

I can't see a massive thaw occurring in the next 3 hours. It's not just the roads out of Hove/Sussex, it's whether the drivers can get to the coach depot in the first instance.
We shall see, fingers crossed its still going though.

 

[Conkers]

Supporters coach still not confirmed as running.
Potential issue with lack of drivers and of course a safety concern with larger buses/coaches.
Expecting a decision in the next 30 minutes or so.

Yeh, exactly, and you can leave it as late as 2ish to leave by which time all primary routes will be clear for sure.

I'm setting out at 2pm but have the advantage of no settled snow in the west.


194 mi, 3 hours 9 mins In current traffic: 3 hours 12 mins M5 and M1

I am just at St Pancras, with a few days of meetings around South Yorkshire and York planned. FCC looks a write off, so had to go into Victoria and get the tube. Trains seem fine once they get above Haywards Heath, not a sight of snow in London !

Be in Sheffield in a couple of hours, then hopefully in Barnsley just after 7.

 

[Muzzy]

I don't work for the supporters coach company but I do work as a coach driver locally. We have all been sent home for the day.

Started already, suns out

A23/M23 piece of cake. Never seen it quieter.
Minor problem at reigate , otherwise no worries.
Don't worry, get on your way.

We will be departing from Tunbridge Wells at around 2pm, staying in a hotel just north of Leeds as I have a meeting in Skipton tomorrow morning, how very convenient

Just stopped in Watford to get a bet on. Next stop Nottingham hotel for "paperwork" before football.
Well, its a sort of paperwork

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Setting out imminently. Not anticipating any real issues now I've dug the car out.

 

[Springal]

Starting to snow in the Midlands, very light around East Midlands Parkway
