I'm meant to be flying with Flybe on Thursday but it's not looking too hopeful. I could get the train for £55 from Edinburgh but just read the Flybe website and they'll only refund you if your flight is cancelled. It would be just my luck to book the train and then find that the flight restrictions are lifted!
I'd still be looking at alternate arrangements to be on the safe side ? There must be loads of you in the same boat - so sharing a car down wouldnt be that expensive. Just a pain in the arse but rather that than miss your race - surely ?
Hope everyone managed to make it down one way or another. I'm driving down but only because we're taking a 5-month old and need so much stuff with us that it wasn't possible to fly. £55 sounds a pretty reasonable amount to pay as backup but more than that will be a difficult choice. Good luck!
I am travelling form aberdeen, meant to fly on friday but just booked a train ticket. only booked one way at the moment as frankly just want to make sure I am at the start line! My brother is an air traffic controller and he said book a back up as he reckons air space will be restricted again all weeked . TP glad to see you are still going to make it to cheers us on..I was a bit worried you wouldn't be there to hand out my beans and tablet!
excellent TP, I shall pop in tomorrow; and on another note.... if one more person suggests that I do an 'eddie izzard' and run to the marathon I will kill them!
TP, All Flybe flights are cancelled until 1300 today. I'm meant to be on a Flybe flight from Edinburgh to Southampton tomorrow, hopefully that'll be ok!
I was at Edinburgh airport today, although not everything was flying there seemed to be a fair few flights coming and going, presuming there's no more ash then you've got a good chance for friday.
I't getting the train down tomorrow, but my wife's flying down on saturday...

i had a look at mega bus and its cheap enough, i can find rail return fair for £108 so not that bad
i dont think i can sit that length of time on a bus..
where you stayin in londin
I looked and £100+ for a train is too much at this point.
No way I will be getting the bus.
Lets just all hope it will be sorted by then!!
Just spoke to easyjet and it is not looking good for flights on Saturday!
What to do, what to do?

That's not even let alone as a suggestion.
Looking more hopeful for flying though. I'm on the first Flybe out in the morning.
