I'm beginning to think I was lucky to get out of London so easily. Wibble Send a noteboard - 18/04/2010 11:13:58 AM
I woke up on Thursday, turned on news, saw volcano and went and bought a rail ticket at 9am, before my flight was cancelled. This may have been a stroke of genius. The train was heaving and I had to stand for the 1st 2.5hours, but I got home not long after I was meant to on a flight. Now of course all trains are fully booked everywhere it seems.

One mate is still stuck in London and another did a 15hour hire car drive from Holland to Madrid with 7 people.

I am however getting worried about my USA flights in a couple weeks.

So, I am Volcano-stuck in Rome, but I want to be in Edinburgh - 18/04/2010 10:01:40 AM 954 Views
Board-er Patrol, arrest that woman! - 18/04/2010 10:34:49 AM 599 Views
There are worse places to be stuck than Rome - 18/04/2010 10:40:29 AM 469 Views
You are really not being very sensible here. - 18/04/2010 10:48:34 AM 501 Views
Oh, I am being sensible. The wish to get home is really just a sham. - 18/04/2010 10:53:46 AM 526 Views
Can you even get Eurostar tickets anymore? - 18/04/2010 12:53:52 PM 469 Views
Yes. There are tickets on all trains on Tuesday. - 18/04/2010 04:11:49 PM 471 Views

If you can get to Amsterdam, there are ferries to Newcastle. - 18/04/2010 11:37:41 AM 594 Views
Oooh. I didn't know that. That sounds like it might be more sensible than Eurostar. - 18/04/2010 04:10:33 PM 467 Views
Here is the website for the ferry: - 18/04/2010 04:27:30 PM 697 Views
There is no room, sadly. It would have been a good idea. - 18/04/2010 04:35:41 PM 460 Views
There appear to be luxury cabins for £242. *NM* - 18/04/2010 07:05:41 PM 195 Views

Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? - 18/04/2010 04:38:54 PM 1546 Views
Re: Do you have travel insurance? Or an HSBC Advance Account? - 18/04/2010 04:41:44 PM 456 Views
It's nothing to do with the card you pay with. Travel insurance is a freebie with the Advance A/c. - 18/04/2010 04:50:08 PM 2101 Views
oooh - 18/04/2010 04:52:15 PM 437 Views

There's a volcano named Katla? That's awesome. - 18/04/2010 08:24:59 PM 479 Views
Well, typically, the name would refer to the dragon. - 18/04/2010 08:30:03 PM 397 Views
