I don't expect anyone to really want any of the last lot, but I figure I'll ask before recycling them...

Depending on our respective commuting times I figured we could make a rendez-vous off our trains one morning. If the times don't work it's just possible I could persuade the AMT coffee lounge to be a drop-off point as I've been faithfully buying my morning cappuccino there for a year! I usually arrive at Euston around 8:46 but could make that later or (with the grumbles of all night-owls confronted with early rising) earlier.

Oops, forgot to sort this out! I also arrive at Euston at 8.45ish. I will be passing through either tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday. Which of these suits you best, and where should we meet?

Either would do, as long as we have a way of alerting each other to missed or cancelled trains. I suggest meeting at the AMT coffee lounge at the head of the higher numbered platforms on the west end of the station, as I usually arrive at platform 17 and am on complete autopilot until the nice Polish girl there puts cappuccino into my groggy hand.

Aha, a Plan!

Let's go with tomorrow morning (Wednesday) then, because then if it goes wrong we have one more day to fix things.

My mobile number is in my contacts post here. I'll have it on me. (Likewise if you want to email me yours, my email address is in the same post)

I will confess that I have a rubbish memory for faces, so you might want to wave at me or something. I have a blue brompton, which is fairly distinctive even for Euston.

[livejournal.com profile] emperor should have my mobile number in the TS panic sheet. I have a rubbish memory for faces too, and additionally no idea of what a blue brompton is... (coat? bike? hat?), but I will be wearing an olive green parka, a sleepy expression and vaguely resemble the usericon, and I'll try to remember to wear my red beret.

Bike :-)

Hopefully see you tomorrow! I am on the train that was the 7.38 from Coventry (from Wolverhampton originally, I think)
