Getting to, say, Sunderland is not going to pose that much of a problem to the likes Dan, Adam Malarkey and Fozz; however, for me (and maybe some other potential takers), it's going to cost an extra £6.10/£6.80 with an additional 2-3 hours of travelling time on top. If I lived in, say, Fencehouses, I might be able to go on the trip but not arrive back until the next day incurring a lengthy overnight wait in some grubby Sunderland bus shelter.
So, yeah, we need to think about where people are located. Should we all meet in one central location or is it possible for the coach to make stops to pick people up/drop people off along the way?
I understand and agree mate, Newcastle has already been mentioned as a pick up point, which is ideal for probably most of us...Although depending on where the bus comes from, I am sure we could organise multiple pick ups i.e Sunderland, Washington and Newcastle...But Newcastle should be within easy reach for everybody, even me from Murton
I suppose what we could also look at is multiple drops on the return, especially of it is late and we run the risk of missing last buses home, that is for Dan to sort out when he comes to booking up
