I see what you mean. Central Trains has apparently decided not to run any actual trains on Saturday. That's nice of them.

Ahh thats what it is then? 
I was wondering why all the jorney times were like five hours plus 
and it didn't want to bring up any* trains going to Birmingham until I threatened it several times 
I'll go check again see if its plausible and then all I've gotta do is sort out accomidation, but transport first

Only one bus though, which is better than some other options. The only way you'll make it without buses is to go via London...
Central Trains is having some argy bargy with ASLEF, so their weekend services are screwed.
1300 is okay, that's around the time folks will be gathering.

Don't bother with the B&B, I've arranged free accommodation in the upstairs of teh pub (it used to be a hotel), just bring a sleeping bag.

Thats kind I might have to do that 
Though I'll wait till Thursday probably to decide for certain that I can still go, I've been a bit I thinkk run down recently, and I'm out all day Wednesday, so presuming I'm alright Thursday, I cna go ahead get the trains fixed in me head, and hopefully gets someones mobile who's going to be there so I can call and be 'rescued' from the Train station/bus that takes me into Burton-on-Trent
