That'd be good. Further South the better for me, to maximise the chance that I can get there without having to change. The only changes Mum will allow would be bus routes that I'm familiar with.

Maybe we should post a map with a cross on it to show roughly where we are, so that we can pick a place which would be convenient for the most members.

how come youre not allowed to change? and the further south the better for me too, although i know loads of people live up north

I think what we should do about choosing where we are gonna meet, eventually we narrow it down to a few places that we all wouldnt mind going to, and then maybe do a vote, but hopefully we'll all be happy with the outcome cos those in the top list we are all happy with?

yeh i think a vote is a good idea just searched for birmingham, it would take me 4hrs, though the price isnt bad if i book in advance. dont think id wanna go further up than that though

Well we could search around places around the Birmingham area, or places a bit further down? Cos thats kinda in the centre isnt it? Well not really but you know?
Im going to find a really detailed map

Mum seems to have decided I'll get on the wrong train, or miss the change and ring home in hysterics or something. I don't think I should push her about the change thing, or she'll probably go back to saying I can't meet anyone.

[Abbie]

What about Northampton Im just randomly searching maps?

Lol Ive just looked and it would be pretty much the same time for me to Get to London. Its just the cost

[Kim]

That's 103 miles for me, according to Google Maps, so not too far. I don't see any reason why Mum would object to there if I don't have to change.

[Abbie]

I'll look on the website for you if you want?

This is so hard thinking of a place to meet I think I'll just sit back and see where other people think, so just ignore my suggestions

[Kim]

I'll have a look, there's about 5 different train stations I'll be allowed to go from, as they're all quite local and in places I've been to before.

Bath would probably be best for me, although that is probably too far South for some people. We could always have a South and a North one if we had to, as obviously parents are going to be deciding on the behalf of members under 18 particularly whether they go or not.

[Abbie]

Yeah Bath is too awkward for me, its gonna take ages and all the trains have like 2 or 3 changes

[Kim]

Can't do Northampton. The very least I can get is 1 change, most of them 2 or 3.

[Kim]

Swindon? 1 change by bus gets me there, and I've been there quite a lot so Mum won't object to that change.
