David Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yup, another thread from someone going to see muse I can't say I have had the pleasure of seeing anyone in the AECC before, so the travelling bit is still a bit unsure, so basically, whats the easiest bus to get from town out there and back after the show?David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 1 or 2 there, they run a bus back into town after gigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Unless you go there 2 hours early the bus is ALWAYS rammed, also, don't even think you'll get a bus back... unless you like the idea of fighting off several thousand other disgruntled hikers.

Lemonade Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Getting back is an absolute nightmare trust me, I used to work night shifts in the Holiday Inn next door and on concert nights we would still have people hanging around 2 hours after the gig trying to get buses or taxis back into town, and now the HI have started getting bouncers on the door only letting in hotel guests so you can't even sit in the bar and have a pint while you're waiting for the queues to go down. You're best to walk down to king street and try to jump on a 1 or a 2 there but they will all be packed.Me, I'm driving there and parking up beside McDonalds a few streets away as getting out of the car park is a bottleneck you can get stuck in for hours, so I'm going to walk the 5 minutes back to my car and get away swiftly. Tried and tested method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachie Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 The best bus is the 40, it goes right to the carpark... the 1/2 do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Does the 40 run that late at night? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My train ticket had cost like 60 for a return cos I got it really early. I only noticed I'd lost all this on the morning I was leaving for Aberdeen, and I had work the next day so I had to be on the train. I raked through the large communal buckets outside my friends flat looking for the envelope, finding such delights as a carrier bag full of used sanitary towels, but no envelope. I eventually had to go to Kings Cross and buy a one-way ticket to Aberdeen which cost 99. I also had to rebuy my Leeds ticket, which cost 100 or so. Then, a couple of months later, after the Leeds festival, I was unpacking my bag at home and I found the original envelope stuck in the lining.That was annoying.
