I've just found out that in their infinite wisdom *snarl* WAGN trains are plotting engineering works and there will be a bus replacement service between either Finsbury Park or Alexandra Palace and WGC on the Sunday I fly back from the States. At least, two websites have said that but I can find nothing in the Planned Services bulletin on the National Rail website. I'll ring tomorrow and double check.
However, on the off chance the information is correct, it means getting home is going to be a bitch. Is there ANY kind soul out there with a car who could meet me at Finsbury Park (I can get there by Tube, I believe) and give me a lift home? I'd be slobberingly grateful. I guesstimate I'll be in Finsbury Park for about 10.15pm Sunday 7th May. I know, I know - it's late on a Sunday night. But if you could, can you let me know asap? If it turns out the advance ticket booking info is wrong (and it has gotten confused before) I will be quite happy trundling back on the train. But it would be good to have an alternative to a two hour bus ride after an 8 hour flight and a 50 minute tube trip.
If all else fails, I can bite the bullet and park the damn car at the airport. It's only money. Who wants to be rich? :P
Any kind soul who steps into the breach gets to have goodies brought back from the States for them. Fancy that Region 1DVD? That book that won't be published here until next year? Say the word :)

I don't know what time you're travelling out, but you could park your car near ours. There's a pretty decent bus service that runs to LHR. Cheaper than parking, and we're not that far from the airport either.

I assume you think my car will be safe round your neck of the woods for five days?
Thanks for the idea! :)

There's a free car park near us, and I've never had problems leaving hire cars there overnight. Alternatively, if you get lucky, there's a small stretch of road outside the block of flats that you can park on, if there's a space.

The closest stop to ours is Walton-on-Thames Sainburys.
When do you fly out? We might be able to put you up the night before, if you want a little more time in bed.

The trip would also be taxi-able, but I have no idea how much it would cost.

Thanks for the offer of accommodation, but I'd rather just head out early from here. I never sleep well before I travel anyway :) But it was kind of you to offer. I'll be flying out on Tuesday 2nd.
Any DVDs you'd like from the States? :)

I'd love Stargate series 9, although no idea if it's out yet, or Atlantis season 1.
Will try to take a look at the rough prices and see how many dollars we have lying around the place.
