[Blackpool] mini maker faire - travel arrangements

[crawford orr]

Hi all,

Heard a few people were interested in heading to this event in Manchester:

It is this Saturday and was wondering what the arrangements are for getting there?

Was thinking of driving down, but noticed that Northern rail offer duo tickets for this route
http://www.northernrail.org/offers/Duo+Tickets

which should bring the price down slightly for even number of travellers. (day return £11.50)

Les mentioned catching an 8.30ish train to arrive about 10 in Manchester

Just to know who's going & when to meet.

8.30 meet at station ok, for 8.44 train?

Responses greatly appreciated,

cheers,

Crawford
