Default Basildon

Thinking about going to Basildon, does anyone know if the venue is anywhere near a train station? Not driving.. can't cope with another 4 hour drive each way.. otherwise I'll have to bug someone to give us a lift from a train station

Still haven't decided whether to go, but not going to Hamm.. and it is almost on my birthday.. so I might have some cash

It would probaly take around 5/10 minutes in a cab but would be a very crap and long walk.

its not immensly far, a cab will cost about a £5.

If you want to know the cheaper companies let me know and ill PM numbers.

But you are looking at 20 mins to walk, through col-de-sac (spelling?) and industrial areas...

The station is about 2 miles from the venue. I'll be going prob via the train so will get a taxi from the station, anyone who needs a life is welcome to jump in.

Aye, cabs are genrally Ok around here, but some (the ones with free phones and Ads everywhere) are not that cheap.

There are others with a better service, and nicer fares

Willing to walk anyone over but it will take a while. There isnt a bus that goes near either.

I may be able to offer a lift to a couple of people if needed. It all depends how long people stay there as to wether I can give them lifts back to the station or not though LOL
