{{TT Meet}}
==Introduction==
The 2014 UK Transport Tycoon Forums meet is planned to take place in '''Glasgow''' on the 7th June. Further plans to be confirmed shortly.

As with previous years, we will not be able to accept responsibility for under-18s at the meet, so we respectfully ask that you do not attend if you are under 18 unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. As our initial venue is a public house, please be aware that '''entrance or service may be refused to under-18s'''. If this happens, I'm afraid we can't do anything to help you out.

TT Meet 2013

{{TT Meet}}
==Introduction==
The 2013 UK Transport Tycoon Forums meet is planned to take place in '''London''' on the 28th July (a Sunday this year, rather than the Saturdays of old). We will initially be congregating at a Wetherspoons pub, '''The Moon Under Water''', at '''Leicester Square''' for drinks and lunch. Plans for the rest of the day are still to be finalised. See below for further details on the venue, activities, and getting around London.

As with previous years, we will not be able to accept responsibility for under-18s at the meet, so we respectfully ask that you do not attend if you are under 18 unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. As our initial venue is a public house, please be aware that '''entrance or service may be refused to under-18s'''. If this happens, I'm afraid we can't do anything to help you out.

===There===
* [[User:orudge|orudge]] - Flying from Aberdeen, Tube to Leicester Square - should be arriving at the pub around 11:00 - 11:30

* JamieLei - train from Birmingham in the morning.
* [[User:Welshdragon|Welshdragon]] - Train from Oxford, or a coach.

* [[User:lolman|lolman]] Train to Newcastle

===Travel around London===

Travelcards are the best way to go around London at £8.90 (Absolutely sodding extortionate! Only yesterday it was £7.50!), and allows unlimited rides on Tubey-thingys, big red double deck boxes and huge long rail-riding thingys around this massive expanse of office blocks. Or basically anywhere on -> [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf] <- this map. Added by [[User:47 407|47 407]] ([[User talk:47 407|talk]]) 20:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

==Overnight in London==
The following people will/may be staying in or near London over the weekend:

* [[User:orudge|orudge]] - Staying the night in London (probably at a Travelodge near Heathrow Airport - £21 can't be knocked!)
* [[User:lolman|lolman]] - Staying Saturday night in London. Not sure where exactly yet, need to look up hotels.

==Activities==

=== Socialising! ===

The main focus of the meet is to get to know each other, enjoy a few pints, eat burgers, and have a laugh! While you're welcome to bring your laptop to play a game of OpenTTD or similar, you'll probably find that most people won't have gone to the trouble of doing so.

=== Other activities ===

Still to be finalised. If you have any suggestions, please post them!

* 47407 Return as above.
* [[User:Geo Ghost|Geo Ghost]] Train from London back to St. Evenage.
* [[User:Chris|Chris]] As above
* [[User:Welshdragon|Welshdragon]]

===Travel around London===

Travelcards are the best way to go around London at £8.90 (Absolutely sodding extortionate! Only yesterday it was £7.50!), and allows unlimited rides on Tubey-thingys, big red double deck boxes and huge long rail-riding thingys around this massive expanse of office blocks. Or basically anywhere on -> [http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloads/london-rail-and-tube-services-map.pdf] <- this map.

==Overnight in London==
The following people will/may be staying in or near London over the weekend:

* [[User:orudge|orudge]] - Staying the night in London (probably at a Travelodge near Heathrow Airport - £21 can't be knocked!)
* [[User:lolman|lolman]] - Staying Saturday night in London. Not sure where exactly yet, need to look up hotels.

==Activities==

=== Socialising! ===

The main focus of the meet is to get to know each other, enjoy a few pints, eat burgers, and have a laugh! While you're welcome to bring your laptop to play a game of OpenTTD or similar, you'll probably find that most people won't have gone to the trouble of doing so.

=== Other activities ===

Still to be finalised. If you have any suggestions, please post them!

TT Meet 2011

2011-08-17T12:02:11Z

Lolman:

{{TT Meet}}
==Introduction==
The 2011 UK Transport Tycoon Forums meet is planned to take place in '''Manchester''' on the 27th August. The plan is for the event to begin at the [http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=The+Old+Wellington+Inn,+Cathedral+Gates,+Manchester,+Great+Britain&z=15 Old Wellington Inn] in Manchester city centre at around 11am. We may then decide to move on and visit other attractions in the city, such as [http://www.mosi.org.uk/ MOSI]. See below for further details on the venue, activities, and getting around Manchester.

As with previous years, we will not be able to accept responsibility for under-18s at the meet, so we respectfully ask that you do not attend if you are under 18 unless you are accompanied by a parent or guardian. As our initial venue is a public house, please be aware that '''entrance or service may be refused to under-18s'''. If this happens, I'm afraid we can't do anything to help you out.

===Travel around Manchester===

The initial venue for the meet is [http://www.nicholsonspubs.co.uk/theoldwellingtonmanchester/ The Old Wellington Inn], 4 Cathedral Gates, Manchester, M3 1SW. The pub opens at 10am, so if you're in town early, you may have to find something else to do - there will be a few of us knocking around, though, so try to get in touch with Owen if you're looking for something to do!

We may move away from the pub later in the day, so if you think you're going to be arriving later than, say, 1pm, please let Owen know and he can try to update you on our location later in the day.

==== Manchester Piccadilly to the pub ====

* It's a 20 minute walk or so from Manchester Piccadilly railway station to the pub
* Directions can be found [http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Manchester+Piccadilly+Railway+Station,+London+Road&daddr=M3+1SW&hl=en&ll=53.481636,-2.239559&spn=0.010126,0.033023&sll=53.48355,-2.23512&sspn=0.020123,0.066047&geocode=FaP8LwMdh_nd_yFiGfz3EP3HFSk5iPwCvrF7SDFgI5RPPlDUGg%3BFcMcMAMdfcDd_ylbR6uQxrF7SDEZtiXXw1svhg&mra=ltm&dirflg=w&z=16 on Google Maps]
* Alternatively, take the free Manchester Metroshuttle bus route 1 from the station forecourt and alight at the end of Deansgate. More details on [http://www.tfgm.com/buses/metroshuttle.cfm TfGM Metroshuttle information page]

==== Manchester Oxford Road to the pub ====

* Take the free Manchester Metroshuttle bus route 2 from the station forecourt and alight at the Cathedral. More details on [http://www.tfgm.com/buses/metroshuttle.cfm TfGM Metroshuttle information page]

==== Manchester Victoria to the pub ====

* Manchester Victoria is even more convenient for the pub - just a 5-10 minute walk away
* Directions can be found [http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=United+Kingdom+(Manchester+Victoria+Rail+Station)&daddr=The+Old+Wellington+Inn,+Manchester&hl=en&ll=53.485837,-2.244805&spn=0.005031,0.016512&sll=53.485925,-2.24418&sspn=0.00503,0.016512&geocode=FXgnMAMd2Mfd_yFkWFvXwN2dDQ%3BFXwcMAMdZcLd_yH6StJOkttp5ylrYayQxrF7SDFdocWOuCoyPA&mra=ltm&dirflg=w&z=17 on Google Maps]

==== Manchester Airport to the pub ====

* From Manchester Airport, you simply take any train to Manchester Piccadilly railway station. Transpennine Express offer frequent services, and a return ticket will cost you £3.60 (£2.40 with a railcard). A single is £3.50, so there's not much point in buying one unless you're not going back to the airport!
* [http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ National Rail] can provide train times.

==Overnight in Manchester==
The following people will be staying in Manchester over the weekend:

* [[User:GoneWacko|GoneWacko]] - [http://maps.google.nl/maps?hl=en&safe=off&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&biw=1024&bih=509&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Copthorne+Hotel+Manchester&fb=1&gl=nl&hq=Copthorne+Hotel&hnear=0x487a4d4c5226f5db:0xd9be143804fe6baa,Manchester,+Greater+Manchester,+UK&ei=pNEpTv-rBsqAOsDd_dgK&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&ved=0CAQQtgM Copthorne Hotel Manchester]

==Cameras==

If you're bringing a digital camera, or a video camera, please let us know here. In addition, Owen would appreciate any video of your journey, your time at the meet, and so on, for the Meet 2011 video, should he have time to actually make it. Considering the 2009 video hasn't been made yet, though, then that's perhaps not all that likely...

* [[User:orudge|orudge]] - Bringing DSLR
* [[User:Born_Acorn|Born_Acorn]] - DSLR, which is installed with the HD videoness.
* [[User:Geo Ghost|Geo Ghost]] - DSLR (Nikon D200) and possibly my DV camera if I have it.
* ThorRune Casio compact camera of decent sort.

==Activities==

=== Socialising! ===

The main focus of the meet is to get to know each other, enjoy a few pints, eat burgers, and have a laugh! While you're welcome to bring your laptop to play a game of OpenTTD or similar, you'll probably find that most people won't have gone to the trouble of doing so.

=== Quiz ===

Owen is pondering rustling up a little quiz for you all, to see just how much you know about the forums and the game!

=== MOSI trip ===

The excellent [http://www.mosi.org.uk/ Museum of Science and Industry] is just a 15 minute walk away from the pub, and it's free! If people fancy it, we may take a trip there in the afternoon.

Lolman is that bloke who just appears in the most inconvenient places imaginable. This usually takes the form of being at meets.
