There's more now because I've been adding to the list, and I am sure there are more coming smiley - erm

Why not advertize this entry in your name, for the next week?

You'll be a non-posting advert, as you'll be in England anyway.

smiley - bigeyes

You can always put your ship advert back when you get home.smiley - ok

How about putting "London meet-up A828821 Nov.23 2pm onwards! Meet Galaxy Babe in person"

GB, if there's another firefighters strike it will start on the 22nd. If today is anything to go by, anyone trying to use public transport may have a problem. I had to cross London today for a training course and it took ages due to the closure of 22 deep stations and the additional walk out by Tube drivers who are not happy to work without the cover.

I never use the Tube myself*, so I had always intended to take a smiley - bus, but all the usual Tube passengers had to as well and so the smiley - bus were very full and slow.

Information for public transport in London is here http://www.transportforlondon.gov.uk

and the most up to date information for the strike days is here http://www.transportforlondon.gov.uk/tfl/firefighterstrike_home.shtml

Maybe, to help people you could put these links on the page? Don't move me to the definites although most likely I'll be there. I plan to be driving up.
smiley - bluefish
*Why I never use the Tube: I get extremely disoriented underground, it's dirty, smelly and pervs use it. I know it's easier for visitors to London since they just want to go from A to B and don't need to know the layout of the city, but I like the view from a bus. I grew up in London and remember bus rides as a smiley - chick Also, I don't think I want to be underground during the firefighter's strike.

Hi, Pierce! All London Transport smiley - bus have a roof so that sounds like a tourist one. You were lucky with the weather!

GB, smiley - erm Kings Cross to Euston would take about 3 mins to walk! They're so close! It's hardly worth thinking about a smiley - bus just for one stop and they run less frequently at the weekends as London is a lot quieter. You'd spend more time waiting than you would on the journey.

I see you've got the links up. smiley - smiley However, the TFL site isn't just for the strike, (as you've put in brackets). It's a permanent, offical site with detailed information about any aspect of travelling by London Transport, at any time. Their page of info about the emergency measures (the one you have put at the top) is just for strike days.
