Is it difficult getting to Silverstone by train?
Hi all,
Looks like I may be going to the British GP on my lonesome as my friends are all skint - plus I won free hire of a Kangeroo TV for any 2011 GP! So it'd be a shame not to use that... Problem being I don't drive. What's it like getting a train there? Selby |

Wolverton! Awesome - thanks mate. I'll now need to find out how much a cab would be roughly... Google Maps here we come!
Anyone else going out of interest? I'll be the small unkept guy, with a small tent, and a small fire  And Kangeroo TV! hahaaaSelby -- EDIT - 9 miles from the train station to Silverstone! That won't be too bad cab fare wise... |

 It's a real pain (actually, the pins and needles are worse). Spent a week in hospital, and now I have to wait for an indeterminate period to get fully mobile again (currently I'm shuffling around like an old man). Frustrating doesn't cover it! |

[QUOTE=Marbot;2907865]I would have been going with some mates, but currently out of action because I have recently been struck down with Guillain Barre Syndrome. Bugger!
Had to google it to find out what the hell it was! Sorry to hear you have it Marbot! Hope you get well soon and are up for camping next year! |

I'm glad to hear that. I've never heard of it before - sounds bloody terrible!
And that's gutting that you're missing the GP because of it Selby |

I have to agree that the timing couldn't have been much worse.
Luckily (although some would say otherwise) I can still type. |

don't go to wolverton. the silverstone website says that stagecoach will be running a grand prix special service from northampton.

it definitely will be, it's something they run every year. strikes me as being a bit expensive, but if it does the job reliably and safely then it seems like a decent option. it's certainly cheaper and more convenient than trying to get a cab!

Ahhhh knowing me though, i'll end up getting impatient and throwing money at the situation!! I do have a terrible, terrible tendancy to do so...
Example - I finish work at 3.40, my mate finishes at 4.30. I'd much rather get a taxi every time, than wait an extra 45/50 min for him Selby -- 3,000th post! Confessing to my money-throwing ways... Fantastic!
