    Yes it worked for me at the classic car show yesterday, like said park up, follow signs, up the lift / escalator along the walkway is a sign for the shuttle bus on the left, or its a walk 10mins, you are outside around 2 minutes, my advise leave coats in car its hot in the shows nowadays.

    I'll be going this year, fancy a look at the new bikes and to see if there are any custom parts as I'm going to try and convert an old GS650GT shafty into a cafe racer or a scrambler over the winter.

    If I recall correctly you dont have to go outside at all for the bike show, just up the escalator at station, along the concourse past the station and down a big escalator and you are basically there,possibly one more turn to make but that is it. five mins tops. I tried last year to get in from outside,my mate took me and said he knew a way in............. wrong,lol. We walked under a tunnel at the end of the railway station,ground level, but ended up where the exhibitors go to set up.

    Well, the show was pretty good. Some marvellous machines on display. Most of them way out of my price range. The Triumph stand was especially good.

    I must admit that I didn't spend a single penny. Plenty of stuff that I would have snapped up but then have to explain to the misses why I needed this or that when I already have it.:upyeah: I like to keep her happy, so plenty of looking. However the next big purchase is the Explorer XC next year.:smile:

    Me and the Mrs will be off about 9ish.

    The weather looks good enough to take the bike but it looks a bit cold.

    Not planning to buy anything but will be doing some "research"

    We've had a great day.Plenty to look at and jump all over.
    Thanks for the advice on the parking at the station,£5 for parking and a 10 min walk.

    I've seen just about every new bike on the market and after not to much thought I'll be...............keeping my Speed Triple!

    Liked the new RCV honda if they ever sell it but it would be out of reach for a lot of people
