woodenhead Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Is there parking at the venue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted April 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2014 As the Museum was the first Manchester Corporation Transport Bus Garage built in the early 1900's it doesn't have a car park but there is plenty of on street parking within easy reach of the museum. I have been using this for many years when visiting the museum and I have never had any problems and like anywhere these days just make sure nothing is left on display. There is also the Manchester Fort retail park just a few minutes walk away from the museum which some people use, I am not sure what restrictions apply. We jokingly say you persuade the wife she might like shopping in Manchester and just happen to stumble across an exhibition near to the shopping venue! Another possible alternative is to use a city centre car park and catch the Free Bus Service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hmm being a southerner (Manchester, not Thames) travelling up North will have to be on a First bus and I'll have to practice my 'Manc' speak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted April 26, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 26, 2014 Fort shopping centre seems a bit manic trying to get on when I last went there at a weekend. They also have ANPR cameras I believe, and the notices say you are breaking the conditions for free parking if you leave your car there and go off-site on foot. Last time I did the exhibition I parked in the street behind the garage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulbb Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 If you are travelling to the show via Metrolink, the nearest station is Queens Road (opposite their depot) . This is the next stop out from Victoria to Bury -now closed temporarily. The walk down the road to the Museum from this stop is about 5-10 minutes depend on your personal mobility capabilities.

RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted May 11, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 11, 2014 Due to sickness 'Tom's Rusty Yard' will not be able to attend, Young Tom's Grandma, who does the demos on the Smart Model stand is ill and unable to attend so Tom and his layout will be unable to attend. All being well Brian of Smart Models still intends to come. We wish his mum a speedy recovery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I hope you've left enougth room for our barriers this year Peter! Coppell is all packed and awaiting the arrival of the van and we will have some of Legomanbiffo's 'leccies' guest running for the weekend.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted May 17, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 17, 2014 We visited today. Nice to see a good variety of layouts in various gauges and a good mix of trade support. Spent all our pocket money on a few bits. The plentiful seating in the refreshment area was much appreciated as were the custard tarts and muffins. Thanks to everyone for putting on a good show. A few pics. Appledore Brucklay Iron Street Mortomley New Chapel Stonecroft and Foley Park Polly & Ray Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevpeo Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 And well deserved it was too Ray. Fancy your mate only letting you run one loco all weekend though! Here is a photo for DavidM - Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevpeo Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 He spent most of Sunday trying to get me to part with them, and nearly succeeded! In the end I decided that the upcoming Dapol one would probably not have the room for the big speaker that is in this one. We were also proud recipients of a pot. As Ray says, many thanks to all who voted. Kev. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Savoyard Posted May 19, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2014 I've just been looking at the voting and comment slips and one says "Too few layouts and too many traders" We had 21 layouts and 23 traders! I wonder what they think constitutes a large exhibition! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
