Yes, it will be fantastic. Just a shame I can't go to London a few days earlier.

and a few days later...

Yes, that, too.

But at least I can go for the weekend.

Weekend jaunts are always fun. Especially when meeting up with friends.

Dear bassman, Have you left africa?

It woukld be nice to see you all but unless I can rent an electric wheelchair, I shall not condemn anyone to push me around. !!

sounds a wonderful walk.

Chrisiane, as I mentioned on the previous Kew event, there are free electric scooters available. I just need to know in advance, so I can book one.

Bassman is coming from Leicester, not Africa

I'll endevour to update the meet page and such like in the next few days

Here is an update on planned engineering works on London Underground on the Meet weekend.

Please check your route with the details below:

Circle Line (Yellow one) -
No service Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th May.


District Line (Light Green one) -
No service in either direction between Embankment and Whitechapel on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May.
There may also be no service between Earl's Court and Embankment, but I am awaiting conformation!

Jubilee Line (Silver one) -
No service in either direction between Stanmore and London Bridge on Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th May.
A replacement service operates for part of this route.

Metroplitan and City (Purple line) -
No service in either direction between Moorgate and Aldgate.

Further updates if I receive any.

I hope these suspensions do not affect your weekend travel.
I'll be to provide alternative routes or means of transport if necessary!

Circle is totally out all weekend...again... Think I'll make sure the and cart is free for the weekend

I have no idea how you people can live with so complex public transportation. It confusing even if it works okay (does that ever actually happen?) but all those changes...

It really is supprising just how often the transport system actually works and gets you to the right destiantion at the right time Err.... I don't know if the London Underground has ever actually been up and running with each and every line working all at the same time ;- It'd be a national day of celibration were it to do so probably

aye, and that in turn would of course mean that only half the lines would be w*rking

I always use the anyway. It's much easier.

>> I have no idea how you people can live with so complex public transportation. <<

Well, it does service a city of 7.5 million people, so it's very large. It *does* work without closure during the working week* but at weekends TFL take the opportunity to do engineering work during the relatively less busy period. As it is the world's oldest underground railway system, it does need a lot of maintenance.

I know we like to complain about it but the fact remains that for the vast majority of the time it does work.

* Except for major engineering, when stations or sections of line can be closed for months at a time.

it w*rked great for me whenever i was there and needed it, so kudos to the powers that be

and i'm glad santragenius took notes

Sorry 2legs , not going to be able to make it now as babysiter will be away for the weekend and I'm nt sure Josh would mentally survive the pub with you lot if I don't see yo before don't forhget my hen night in august

Dear MMF

Thank you for that information. However, as I only found out today when a lot wad of about 160 postings suddenly landed on my thread, what was actually happening - I thought eventually that it was a walk through London and past St. Pauls/ Now you are going to Kew which is wonderful.

However, quite honestly, I really cannot manage anything. I feel a dreadful drop out, but I really can only just manage being wheeled around in this lovely seaside town and then falling into bed as soon as I reach home.

so have a lovely day a Kew. I shall be thinking of you.

With all good wishes for a wonderful sunny day and a wonderful time.
