anybody know if it is to travel to by public transport from birmingham. this show looks awesome would be my first duxford show.

Post by **rdchawk** » Sat 27 Sep 2008, 12:00 pm

Never done it by public transport but i believe its best to get train to cambridge and then free shuttle bus to Duxford.

Yeah although the show says it starts at 1:30 the NOTAM for the PdF finishes at 1:10 on the 5th so maybe it will be a 1:00 start :question:

Times on NOTAMs are in UTC, so it probably expires at 2:10pm BST. Unless you already added the hour. Can you post the NOTAM?

Post by **Monty** » Sat 27 Sep 2008, 6:21 pm

Notam is already posted on page 3, didn't add an hour on so youre probably right bout it beeing 2:10

Get the Birmingham New Street to Stansted Airport train. There are free shuttle buses just outside cambridge station which depart quite regularly. :smile:

Post by **Domvickery** » Sat 27 Sep 2008, 8:05 pm

i looked at coming down on the train but its a 4 hr journey. plus the only train to get you a reasonable time is at 9.10 which gets you to cambridge at 1.00 or you could do this journey which will get you into cambridge at 11:

Outward journey: Saturday 4 October 2008 Station Arr Dep Travel by Service Provider
BIRMINGHAM NEW STREET 22:48 Train LONDON MIDLAND
COVENTRY 23:22 23:30 Bus LONDON MIDLAND
NORTHAMPTON 01:02 06:40 Bus LONDON MIDLAND
WATFORD JUNCTION 08:46 08:51 Train LONDON OVERGROUND
LONDON EUSTON 09:38 09:38 Tube*
LONDON KINGS CROSS 10:15 10:15 Train FIRST CAPITAL CONNECT
CAMBRIDGE STATION 11:01

sounds like a nice journey i think i'll stick to pops driving it only takes 2 hrs

When i went by train i got the C7 which seems like a general bus through the vilages in took a very long time to get there. Tho i dont know weather they lay on a special bus straight in

Post by **SJMF-15** » Sat 27 Sep 2008, 10:09 pm

Courtesy bus timetable...

As XH668 has said the C7 takes a long time (over an hour) and not every bus goes all the way to the museum, so be wary.

I'm going on Saturday afternoon as well as spending the day there on Sunday. Does anyone know if anything will be practicing during the week? Lokking to go on Thursday :vulcan:

Post by **MrAngry2** » Mon 29 Sep 2008, 1:09 pm

Very doubtful Tonka, but you never know? Friday would prob be best if you can go then.

Post by **Pen Pusher** » Mon 29 Sep 2008, 1:12 pm

Check the weather forecast during the week first. Saturday is best day for practice arrivals although RAF/Navy aircraft will probably arrive Friday afternoon with cease work.

I did mean apart from Saturday by the way

Post by **Ben Montgomery** » Mon 29 Sep 2008, 1:19 pm

So if the RAF/RN stuff is turning up on friday, do they do a pratice display then?
