Ride a c*ck horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes

A nursery rhyme, but my inner didact has fallen asleep so I won't try and remember the deep significance

Have a great day tomorrow

Hello all
I am posting this today so that you have time post if you have any queries.

Therefore we are meeting at noon at the clock tower Waterloo Station Saturday 8th March.. There is apparently a Costa Coffee nearby should you arrive early and no one standing that looks like us by the tower.. we will hang around for 15 minutes or so but then move onto for lunch to be decided by the group.

Some of you have my mobile number, but some of you are travelling together. So if you need to track us down to where we went if you are late then please do..

I have posted a photo of me and will hopefully be travelling with Blackcat as we are coming from the same area. I have a CP badge on a usually wear a white sharf (as it gets very chilly in railway stations)...

This was the last up to date list of people attending... My train gets in at 11.54am so hope to see you there.

I hope thats it, but if i have forgotten anything pls post. Black cat will PM you later with details of my train, but it looks as though its the same one!

Of course forgot 341 goes that way. I was just going to pick up the 76 but the 341 at Newington Green? Happy to meet up there if you're keen.

Yeah Ruth, why not? I have to walk a couple of stops back towards Newington Green but it's an excuse to walk off the walnut cake I've consumed this evening... You getting a 141 and then changing?

I know where you mean Mark, it's just beyond the library if you come in from the Balls Pond Road end of Mildmay Park.

Okidoke. I'm 141'ing it down to Newington Green and can wait for you there, will PM you so we can time it.

Mark, I know the one. Yes, those are still nice main road and all. They're selling for a bomb now though, you can sometimes see inside when you're on the bus and some of them look absolutely stunning.

That's it

- I was on the corner of Mildmay Park and Mildmay Grove south
I miss the cafe in Balls Pond Road. They did a huge all-day breakfast (Which we often had at 6.30pm) with a mug of lovely Lavazza filter coffee for about £3.50

OK, the 10:48 from Chatham (Charing Cross service) gets into Waterloo East at 11:54. It is a stopping train so a long trip, but the only one that goes direct to Waterloo East. Since it is my ambition in life to avoid the tube where-ever possible, it seems the most attractive option to me. What do you reckon?

Blackcat i am trying to work out where that train somes from.. I am coming from Herne Bay and will need to change at Chatham but have yet to work otu if i can join you on the 10.48... Timetables are not my thing!

My road was mildmay park. Mildmay grove north & south run either side of the train track. They are lovely but I only had a raised ground floor garden flat, not a whole one

My road was the one the bus runs along.

Say hello to my old flat as you pass it

Just off Newington Green, in Mildmay Park, where the train line crosses over on the right, south side. A raised ground floor flat - I do miss it

Mildmay South or North in fact.. those houses are gorgeous Mark!!!! Drive past them now and again when I take my short cuts

Nice part of town to be in right now.

Will probably bus it too, drove past last night and parking is going to be a nightmare around the Southbank. Witty getting the 76 down on Southgate Road.

Ruth, I was planning on getting the 341. Can always change that if you fancy bussing together?

just to confuse you further Lucy, I thought we were meeting under the clock! I suggest that on the friday night we post a clear agreement as to what we are doing when ... It was my understanding that we met at noon under the clock at Waterloo (the main station). If anyone arrives early they can easily grab a coffee and wait elsewhere as long as they are under the clock at noon

I thought that was the plan too?

I have direction to London waterloo I am coming from the SE way and it goes to Waterloo East.. So i hope that this is the same place everyone else has posted about.
I have a CP badge so perhaps other people can wear a badge or something.. Meeting at Costa Coffee noon.. Sat 8th March...

Is the Costa coffee on the main Waterloo station or is there another at Waterloo East? I only know main Waterloo, and am easily confused!

I am sure I can find wherever so long as I know where to aim for!

Mark, are you not joining us?

Unlikely as I get so little time with OH that it would not go down well me disappearing off for the day. He complains that the weekend is too short as it is

Shame it's not midweek but I understand most people have jobs

yep, travelling up from Chatham that morning. Perhaps we can agree a carriage to travel in? I have a friend who is convinced she absolutely must travel in the second carriage from the front so perhaps that would do?

That would be good blackcat will come back mid week with times that my train leaves. I have to change at Chatham so if you let me know what one you aiming for..
