I've looked everywhere but I cant see a thread about a coach to SubDub on Friday? Is there a coach?
If not how are people getting there? I guess it's going to be train business from London although I may drive...anyone looked at the options already?

18:45 Depart London Victoria, Greenline Coach Station
Arrive Leeds, Wellington Street 23:15 1 seat = £14.00
Depart Leeds, Wellington Street
Arrive London Victoria, Greenline Coach Station 10:30 1 seat = £9.50
Total: £21.50...
^^ I suppose that would do it - gonna look at trains tho.
How far from Wellington St to venue?
How far from Leeds BR to venue?
Anyone know?

Going:
Depart Kings X: 19:30
Arrive Leeds: 21:55
(couple earlier or later but with a change)
Stumbling back:
Depart Leeds: 05:05
Arrive Kings X: 07:31
or
Depart Leeds: 06:10
Arrive Kings X: 08:42
But the cheapest ticket is £71.60 return 
Journey times are great but I doubt I will stretch to £70 to get there...back to megabus then...

about fifteen minutes in a cab, which would be about five or six quid I reckon.
Train Station backs onto Wellington Street, so could easily meet people off the trains.

Yeah and its £70 quid from London at the moment tho I may go up on National Express and back on the train. Even a single at 5.10am on Sat is £20!
Mala did offer up a coach apparently but few takers, think he is going up with crew and few guests in an 8 seater.

Ok - SubDub told me that National Express was less stops than megabus, I checked them and they are actually cheaper than megabus.
Travelling between 6pm and 7pm prices range from £9 to £11 (single).
First coach back is 06.10 but I may do train back as it is only £20 if booked in advance and it leaves 5.10 back at 7.20. Ticket bought for club, transport (almost) sorted, cant wait!

Takes you 5 minutes to the club from the train/bus stations.
Just ask for West Indian Centre, Chapeltown.
See you all there!
