MINI BUS / COACH? - TRAVEL FROM BRIGHTON/LEWES

I have been looking into the poss of hiring a mini-bus or coach, with or without driver provided. Obviously the more people I can get, the cheaper per person it works out.

At the mo, for a minibus 8 - 17 seats, the return journey works out at between £10 and £20 each, depending on the size of bus and whether or not we have get a driver.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF YOU WOULD ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING US ON THE COACH AND HOW MANY SEATS YOU WOULD LIKE. I would like to sort this out within the next week or so.

Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris,

We are definately interested in sharing transportation with your party. As I said in my other post, at the moment we are definately 3 and am just waiting for another 2 to confirm if they are going or not.
I'll hopefully confirm this by the end of the week.
I've not asked around for prices of minibuses as yet but the price range you mentioned does seem about right. I don't mind driving there if someone can drive it back!!
My backup plan was to get a hire car and drive there and back myself ... but obviously stay sober
Myself and my mates will start asking around to see if there is anybody else interested in going in order to bump up the numbers.

Hi Mark . . . that is great news . . . the more the better
Is there anyway I can contact you without having to post long boring details on here??
Chris

That all sounds good to me.
I have sent you a private message with contact details.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Chris

Thanks Aud . . . looks like the coach will definitely be on . . . just have a couple more bits of info to have confirmed

Please could you send me a private message with your contact details (mobile and email add if poss) and I will send you mine.

Bye for now . . . Chris

I'll be looking for some help with transportation from/to Brighton as well... I'll throw my name into the hat for the coach if there is still some room. I'll PM you my details.

Thanks for organizing it Chris!

Yay!! Hopefully see you on the coach, Low Roller.

I'll be there!
Any other Canadians on the bus?? Or will I be the only guy with the funny accent, eh?

Well, I offered Old Shakey a place on our coach but he hasn't responded yet!!

Maybe you could 'ave a word with your fellow countryman??

I'm very interested in 2 seats too. Have pm'd you details.

fingers crossed*

Hi there

Have you managed to sort out a coach are there still spaces? There's 6 of us going and I reckon we'd be interested.

Cheers

Andi

Two absolutely definite additions here - is anything arranged anywhere? Had no idea about the public transport problems until after geting tickets....

Have had more people asking me if I can get a larger coach and 'fit them in' so, hating the thought of stranded 'Old Shakey' fans, I have increased the size of the coach!!

If you would like to travel from Brighton to Hop Farm on my coach, PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE URGENTLY with a mobile contact number and an email address. Briefly . . . pick up is in Brighton, round trip is £20 each.

NOTE TO THOSE ALREADY 'BOOKED AND PAID', I will be emailing the final details to you either tonight or tomorrow evening.

Seeya soon . . . Chris

Allrighty folks....

Who does that leave and is here anything we can sort amongst ourselves?

Gav

damn, just seen this thread. Me and a friend of mine are still looking for a transport.

anyone else???


PS: Chris, there's no way for "expanding" the coach, right?

Yes yes, i just realised i have no way of getting back too!!!

So is there any room on a mini bus or are any kind folk driving too/back to Brighton???

in the worst case I think I am renting a car if we are not enough for a mini bus!

We are 2, how many are you?

Heh Satkid . . . no need to drive!! I have increased the size of the coach from/back to Brighton I sent you a message . . . maybe it did not get through??

If you would like to come on it, send me a private message with mobile no and email address asap so I can get in touch with you.

IF ANYONE ELSE IS INTERESTED PLEASE DO THE SAME . . .

Chris

thank you very much chris

we are 2, I've sent you a pm with details

hi- i would also like to join the bus, have pmed you mobile and email details. jason

Heads up, folks!

If you're travelling on the coach from Brighton, you should, like me, have received your emails confirming the final details.
I'd like you all to join me in thanking Chris (and Dave...did he do anything? ) for making this potentially awkward journey a much more enjoyable prospect.
We can assist by getting to the departure point on time and making sure we have all paid up, to prevent any delays to the 'off'.
Let's have a great journey and a fantastic day!

See you all Sunday.

Yup . . . Dave (I may be a fan but Dave is the FANATIC!) designed the lovely tickets that you will get on Sunday and the signs for the coach. . . plus he was my 'sounding board', poured me large glasses of vino plus kept out of my way when my need was greatest!!! . . . particularly when my computer played up . . . like tonight!!!! grrrrrr!! (Still have a couple of email confs to send to those who booked in the last 24 hours, hopefully all the others reached you all ok!)

Thanks 'fishbus' for your advice too . . . and for posting this comment too!

This crowd we are travelling with are going to be FANTASTIC!!! I have had SO MANY great 'communications' with all who are on the bus and am really looking forward to meeting everyone

There are a few places left . . . if anyone else is interested please send me a pm asap with mob no and email address and I will get back to you . .

SEE YAS ALL ON SUNDAY

Chris
PS thought I would use a few more emoticons this time round!!

hi I'm wondering if you have room left in your coach for three possibly four brighton ones bit late in the day i know but our lift has broken! we're desperate! any help is really welcomed thanks
