Re: Borderline gig

["Paul Vallis" <paulvallis@ho...com>]

23.35 sounds better!  I did my search going to and from Bristol Parkway, not 
Temple Meads, as its nearer where I live.  Most trains from London stop at 
both, but this one must terminate at Temple Meads.  Still, would be better 
to stay up there, as you say!  Would appreciate any recommendations.
If the Borderline is that small then maybe the ticket thang is worth doing.  
Still waiting on my mate deciding whether to drive or not, and for any of 
the Bristol posse who post on here to reply!!

  Last Train back from Paddington to Temple Meads leaves at 23.35, you can
book it online for £20 single Apex, whatever that is.
  Only been to Borderline twice, and though they didn't exactlly chuck us
out at 11, they only needed to once.
  Very bijou, the Borderline. The 'Stage' meets the Bar, and there are
various other nooks.
  The Beer is not outrageously priced by London standards, Bogs are rock'n
'roll.
  I will make some enquiries at work to see about suitably priced,
recommended Hotels, because you must not be rushing off for trains.
  Wake up in London with a full English, wander back to the Station, and
then rush back if you have to.
