sorry bensmum, i did mean to post last week but have been doing an essay on and off and keep forgetting what i logged onto the pc for!!

red flags- absolute no no, silly as it sounds could cause major probs especially in larger , busier stations, the guards use the red flags to inform a train to stary stationary at the platform.
same goes with green, the guard uses this flag to inform the driver its safe to go- you could imagine the pandemonium if the guard is waving his green flag and a m,netter is manically waving a red flag!!

any colours apart from red and green will be fine!!

tiredemma · 04/04/2005 09:14

forgot to add---- tiredmania!???

manically tired should be!

Anyone else like to join in ?
Ds and DD have been making yellow flags today, with the mn smiley face on, so we won't cause any problems at the stations.

Could possibly make Taunton depending on the date.

Bensmum, is it 08.30 in FW? If so, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it - what time will it call at FW on the way back?

Whizzz · 06/04/2005 20:53

Wow - I work near the station in Warrington - I could wave at the trains if I'm about at the right time !!

Yes, next week, just thought I'd see if anyone else is interested as I'm going to get a few local momento's to pass out.
So glad cod hasn't abandoned us !

bensmum3 · 06/04/2005 23:03

Don't worry giraffeski, we will think of you anyway at Crewe, hope you have a nice time.

I can probably do Exeter. Do you have times for the way back?

bensmum3 · 07/04/2005 15:10

We are actually travelling from Exeter on 20th April, leaving at 10.20. I have been asked if we will bring 2 small animals back with us as well, so there could be 7 of us on the return journey.

ponygirl · 07/04/2005 19:19

Hi bensmum3. Do you need someone right at the beginning? I can't make the way down as I won't have the car on Friday, but can say hello in Exeter if you like!

WideWebWitch · 07/04/2005 19:26

When's this, is it 15th? No time to read whole thread, bensmum, can you tell us ages again? ta

bensmum3 · 07/04/2005 22:00

Hi, ponygirl, this was all cod's brilliant idea, I think it would be great to meet as many MN'ers as possible, even though it will only be breifly, so if you can make it to Exeter we'd love to see you, I'm going to bring a small token from scotland and the children have made yellow flags for the train. They are 21 months, 7 and 10 yrs. We are travelling down on the 15th and back on the 20th, by which time I think they will be exhausted!
