Gresham 928 Posted June 29, 2015 ....just working out train times to get back home. Last one is 10pm. I'm presuming with engines start at 5pm it will leave me plenty of time? Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.... I'm looking forward to it....as I'm trying to remember the last time I watched Speedway live, probably a couple of years ago at Somerset. Hopefully I'll get the bug back again. Thank you in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted June 29, 2015 If your last train is 10pm then you'll be out well before that. You'll even have time for a couple of pints after the meeting - in fact you'll probably be able to get an earlier train. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris4gillian 1,832 Posted June 29, 2015 Starts at 5pm so will finish around 7.30 - 8pm depending upon hold-ups (ie. crashes etc). Hope that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted June 30, 2015 starting tapes failures etc. Fair point PW - that can drag things out a bit - followed by the regulation stop Riding because of the state of the Track - that can drag things out a bit more - and then, of course, there is the cancellation of last four Heats. Yep - you should make the 2200hrs Train. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 2, 2015 We used to stay every year Friday to Sunday at a very nice hotel in Cardiff who allowed us to leave Jemma in the room for the evening. Lots of walking in Sophia Gardens on GP day, playing with a ball on The Castle grass - she was ready for a sleep when we got back to the hotel. Sunday was spent at Porthcawl before driving home. Happy memories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But have a great day anyway! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
