Re: [Mpls-interop] editor/author meeting in Ipswich - short tinfo

[Ben Niven-Jenkins <[e-mail]>]

Well, personally I wouldn't want to commute Liverpool Street to Adastral as
once you've added in a taxi to Adastral you're looking 2 hours each way.

I wouldn't paint the public transport option from an airport to Ipwich as
bad as Tom does but driving is my preferred route.  I'd say allow 3 hours
from LHR driving but it will depend on time of day and how you drive.

To answer Andy's questions - Yes I would arrive the day before if possible
for the reasons you state.

I will have hotel information available as soon as I collate it (hopefully
later today).

Train fare from Liverpool Street - Ipswich return at peak time (i.e. Before
9.30 am) is approximately £60, although if you travel outside of peak hours
(after 9.30 am and not between 4pm and 7pm) is it approximately £35.

Need any more let me know.
Ben
