URGENT PLEA TO FLIST!!

[mitchy]

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 :)

Thanks for this! Going is going to be no problem, plenty of buses. Coming back is slightly more problematic as the last bus from Heathrow is 10.05. I'm scheduled to fly in at 8.55. Theoretically I should be out inside an hour but this is Heathrow so you never know. However, even if I have to get a cab, it's still going to cost me less than a train ticket or the long term parking, so yay :)

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? :)

kelemvor would appreciate Charmed season 2, if it's on sale.

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.
