Transport from Southampton
In spite of our lobbying, Flybe have yet to introduce any flights from Southampton to London City Airport. However, there are some other options:
Train - Some of us will be taking our bikes on the train, in order to join the Climate Emergency Bike Ride from Lincoln's Inn Fields to Grosvenor Square at 10:00. Unfortunately, the line is closed at Southampton Central on that weekend, so we will need to meet at Southampton Airport Parkway ticket office at 7:45, in order to pick up the 8:02 train. If there are enough of us we can buy group travel tickets on the day, which give a discount of 1/3. The group tickets are for groups of four, such groups must stick together for both journeys.
Co-op Coach - The Co-op have organised a coach to the demonstration. The coach departs at 08:00 from the Bus Stops on Above Bar St opposite the Cenotaph (SO14 7DW) and you can book online at http://www.co-operative.coop/ethicsinaction/takeaction/thewave/ The price is £5, but you need to be a member of the Cooperative (which is only £1 to join) or 6 people can go with a Cooperative member.
Commercial Coach - Alternatively, you can get tickets starting at £1 each way on coaches such as National Express, MegaBus, or Greyhounds.
There are plans for a Copenhagen solidarity demo of some kind in Southampton on 12 December. Watch this space for further info. |
