Going to shows by public transport

[hamsterman]

For people who don't drive getting to a hamster show can be difficult, I myself rely on trains, buses and my feet. I have been to a couple of shows like this but was wondering out of all the shows that there are - how many are near a train station or bus route? Can anyone possibly offer any information or perhaps local knowledge - if so post it here and maybe it would enable more people to be able to attend a hamster show. ( p.s - I myself do not bring any hamsters on trains/buses as it would be too far) but I do like to come along and meet all the people that are there as they are so friendly)

The majority of the shows are near public transport links luckily

Just as a tip for the future, if you visit towyvale.co.uk under the shows bit the majority of the venues are linked via google. If you click the map link, buses that stop in that area are small blue squares with a picture of a bus in (further work is then needed via google to determine numbers and times) and trains are marked with the red train symbol You will sometimes have to zoom out to see trains, and zoom in to see the bus squares. For an example of the bus squares look at this: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en ... &z=17&om=1 This is the map for Shurdington and you can see quite clearly the blue bus squares denoting that their are buses to the venue

For our more Northern members Brockholes show in April is a few minutes walk from the railway station.
