Branners Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi folks, To avoid it being lost in the swamp of posts in the main DB13 thread I thought I should post in here the various train timings we are working to. You can ask sensible questions in here, but keep all chit chat to the main DB13 thread. Friday 17th May Taking 2 trains from Eurotunnel Folkestone as they cannot fit us all on one train on the lower deck. First train is at 7.20am (so have to get at Eurotunnel by 6.50am for check-in) second train is at 7.50am (so have to be at Eurotunnel by 7.20am) The second train should arrive in Calais by 9.30am (France time). We will all stop at the Total petrol station here http://goo.gl/maps/Ebex7 And I plan on leaving the petrol station at exactly 10am (France time).

Guest Budz86 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Cheers John, will the times be on our tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 I will update the first post, you wont be issued with tickets. You just roll up to the gates, it should recognise your registration number and let you through. If not then you use the booking number that will be sent to you later this week. Its all electronic.

Branners Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Will there be two seperate convoys from Ashford ? Not sure on that one. I'm going to suggest everybody leaves Ashford travelodge at the same time just in case they decide to book us all on the same train. With Eurotunnel you never quite know what to expect when you pull up. Either way we will wait until 10am France time at the petrol station on the other side so if people are on a later train I wont go without them.

Westy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Does that list include passengers!? Thought it was just drivers!? I am a passenger in Alex Macraes car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Lol, turns out there are 2 Chris Baileys going. Silverhaze is the other one and they are on the later train. The list doesnt include passengers. I'm not tracking passengers at all as that would drive me bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think that would be best too if we left all together. Only a 30 min wait at the Eurotunnel car park, where we get far too excited anyway!! Just have to make sure that everyone is alert on the day to keep everyone together as close as possible. Though would highly recommend everyone sets the sat nav first thing incase you lose the convoy in the morning as this can easily be done.

Pete Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'd be more useful than that, but I've not idea what Mr Slutters real name is. If you do, then swap it for me and Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'd be more useful than that, but I've not idea what Mr Slutters real name is. If you do, then swap it for me and Bernard. Isn't his name John Hudd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 few changes Tracey dropped out so Craig got her slot, then she dropped back in and has a different time slot and reference now. Slutters (adam) gave his tickets to Pete and Burna And Tyson is dropping out so that will change. Apart from those the times are still the same. You should all have had your unique booking reference sent to you by Steve. Make sure you have that with you as if it cannot recognise your plates then thats your way in.

TheTurtleshead Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 As I bought Dean's ticket… I presume Fitz and I are on the 7:20 as Mr Dean Tracey? We also don't have a booking reference B-Dog, I have dropped Ellis an email about a few things we are missing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Yep, I had that one already changed with Eurotunnel so yes you are on the same reference and the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Bump!! Remember which trains you are on! Follow the coach lanes, use all the lanes to book in!! When you get out in France you'll see a large petrol station, pull over there! (IIRC it's a Total Station). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
