Since there hasn't being a Buspedition this year I thought that I will put dates up early and people can get time off work, make arrangements to get there, etc. I finish school on the 12th and thought that we could have one in the following week which is the 15th to the 19th of December. Please post a preferred date, any runs you would like to go on, places for lunch, runs with drivers like Rob and Fraser on and I will try to get one organized. For me the better days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday as no-one will be at home (what my parents don't know, won't hurt them)

belcodriver

It'd be good to see some of you guys on my bus. MAN... knows what runs I do.

Snorzac

I do know your runs, i think that most of the other drivers that are members are floaters though:b

lukeo25

well i might come (anything to get me out of the house) because i will have finished college  (i finsh on the 21st november so until then i can go gunzeling everyday and might see other members) any date between 15th-19th december is perfect as i don't work :D

Merv319

I REALLY want to go,but sadly I live in Japan,so I can't go.

Snorzac

Where in japan? I am going there next september with school. I am putting down a $600 deposit down tomorrow

Merv319

Hyogo prefecture,which is next to Osaka.

Sir Pompously

A little tip to save a dime, get the airliner from BBP not the airport. From BBP it is $1.50 for consc compared to $4.50 from the terminal building. Was last time I used the service anyway!

Snorzac

$3 difference. Changing that, we will get the airliner from BBP.

Barry Drive

I'd be a bit concerned about making the connection between the 2 and the 59. You may be better off going for the 51 at 1624 (even that's doubtful) or the 52 or 59 at 1637 and then get 4W at 1706 from GMP - you will still be at Belc Inter in time for the 705.

I don't know about the timing of the 705 to know whether the one minute connection of Tugg Inter will be sufficient - but if it's not, the next intertown is 312 at 1835.

It's too early for me to know what shift I'll be doing that week - I'll find out the week before.

Snorzac

Can an admin please make this topic a sticky

Snorzac

Buzz Killington

Chicken Gourmet?

Hope you're immune to salmonella

Snorzac

I just like the chips with chicken salt.

belcodriver

The only acceptable time to eat Chicken Gourmet is at 3am when drunk but I guess you're too young for that.

Snorzac

Or if you are a Certain member of this forum that is really tall and likes chicken salt you can go there any time of day. Same goes for me.

agreed, although rolo's pizza in the interchange is the safer option in my experience. they make a mean slice.

Yes i am and my hair isn't as long as it used to be :) you will see how long it used to be if you go on flickr and looking at the cross country ski trip pictures

Barry Drive

I'm not committing to anything but I might be able to make it for *some* of the afternoon (I'll be the one dressed like an ACTION bus driver  :) ).

Snorzac

I will be wearing denim shorts, green shirt, thongs and a white hoodie if it is cold with a Brumbies hat, a Global Corporate Challenge Backpack and sunglasses, I will arrive in the city at 0706 on a southbound 313, more than likely an Iris but it is sometimes a .3a or a dart.

lukeo25

i will be shorts and my nirvana t-shirt and carrying a bag with some of my british timetables and probably arriving about 7.10 on a northbound intertown and i will get some cherry coke in the iga for the day :)

Snorzac

Cool. I have to get some timetables so that I can have one for every route in the network at the info office if they are open that early.
