Ron Ron Ron Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'm pleased to see it's back to the Admiral Lord Nelson School. It's a nice modern venue and very easy to get to. :icon_thumbsup2: . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted January 27, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thanks Ron. We just want lots of people to support it. Portsmouth seems to be a problem area for getting people to attend shows, that why it is only a single day event. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Ron Ron Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 ...Portsmouth seems to be a problem area for getting people to attend shows.... There's no answer to that.... Seriously though, it's always going to be a problem when half your catchment area is in the Sea. Also, while Portsmouth is well served by regional and local rail services, the venue is a long hike from the main railway stations. Road access is really good though. Could the proximity to the Southampton show (two weeks before) also have an affect on attendances? Whatever, I'm hoping to get down there if all goes well. .

great central Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 can you tell me how far it is from railway stations, looking on google maps it seems the nearest station is Hllsea? I'm thinking of doing Basingstoke and Portsmouth the same day, if I can get up early enough! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold kipford Posted February 28, 2010 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi Hilsea is the nearest station about 0.7 miles from the exhibition. However I think there is only a limited number of trains that stop there. Next nearest is Fratton - all trains stop here. Its about 2.5 miles from the exhibition Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samkiller42 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I might attend this, living in Havant does have it's bonuses, and the event happens to fall on the last day of Week 1 of my annual leave. Depending on where you travel from by train. South West Trains and Southern do operate services that call at Hilsea. Great Central, if your attending Basingstoke, a train from London Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour via Basingstoke should call at Hilsea, and vice versa. National rail also show NO engineering works in the area for the weekend. The walk isn't too bad, and can take up to 20 mins. Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Thanks for that, I'm coming from Nottingham so will be from Waterloo. see how the times, (and the weather!) are on the day. Don't trust the weather forecast, it was supposed to be dire this weekend, went to Chapel-en-le-Frith today, not somewhere to go if the weather, rather than just the forecast, is bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 A very good selection of layouts - but sadly the trade seems desperately thin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terriertankengine Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Oh well, I'm going. Great selection of layouts and because I live in Portsmouth I don't have to dilly around for transport. YAY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
