Put me down for a ticket for each thanks.. a Pacific Hwy pickup from the top of the street will be fine thanks

Street name and suburb please, Blackadder, and I'll see what can be done.
People, please note
The bus will be travelling in the opposite direction to the Sydney peak hour flow, mostly, and the lane allocations and traffic lights phasing will be against us.
I would like to limit the number of pickup points, if that's allright with everyone, and turn off the Pacific Highway onto Ryde Road (for 13/6) and Mona Vale Road (for 19/6), to avoid the congestion from Gordon thru to Chatswood along the Pacific Highway.
If you must insist upon pickups in the heart of Chatswood, be aware that it's going to slow things up.
Ultimately, it's what you folks want, I'm just the driver and I'll be happy to pickup wherever you think is fair enough.
The departure times form Gosford do allow a bit of leeway with the pickups and unexpected traffic congestion etc. but in my experience, passengers who come along for the full trip would wanna see a football match via the most direct route.

Most direct route.....HEAR HEAR!

for the gladesville game wouldn't a closer pickup to the stadium be more feasible than chatswood?

the above means you have to drive to chatswood (traffic nightmare) and then fight the home traffic coming back to north ryde

The idea of a Chatswood pickup was firstly floated by you, Mick, and Melsy saw that and put herself, Mitch and Juzzy's name down for a pickup along the Pacific Hwy. too. I believe Melsy and Mitch work in Chatswood? so I thought it good for all 4 of you to meet there.
A pickup at Pymble would be a much more ideal pickup. I can then turn either left or right at the major intersection just down the road (Mona Vale, Ryde Rds. and Pacific Hwy.) depending upon which Park we're heading for. If everyone is more agreeable to a Pymble pickup, it should give us more time to get there and everyone to be ready for the match ( maybe even grab some food!). Can everyone make it to Pymble (via trainline?) in sufficient time?
We have a 2 hour time limit for the Cromer game (from Gosford) on the 19th, whereas on the 13th we have only 1 hour 45 mins. (but Christie Park is closer).
A pickup at Chatswood is possible, but a Pymble pickup is ideal. The ball's in your court folks.

[Melsy]

Mitch and I are easy going about where ever its easist too pick up from i went with Pacific Highway as we live along there now and it was suggested as a pick up point.

Tell us where you want too pick up from and Mitch and I will be their ( No Juzzy).

Is it possible to get a seat for the 13th?

Best spot is on the Pacific Hwy. at the bus stop just near the stairs to the Railway Station at Pymble. I can call in there and pick you up no problems. Thanks for your co operation!
Marinermick, is Pymble OK for you on the 19th?

I floated the Chatswood pickup for the Manly game.

I work in North Ryde so for the Gladesville game I only need a lift back not a pick up on the way. I will be meeting the crew at the game.

If Melsy, Chimmi and Mitch can get to Pymble that would be great as coming back from Chatswood would be a nightmare at that time.

PM Lou Macari for seat availability.

[Melsy]

Mitch and i will be at Pymble.

That's great ;D
Marinermick, can Chimmi make it to Pymble instead of Chatswood for a pickup both games?
And yes, Mick, I got it that you were making your own way to Christie Park but needed a lift home. And needed a pickup on the 19th. Question is: Can you make it to Pymble on the 19th? (we'll probably be zooming thru Pymble about 5:40 - 5:50 or so on that date).

[Pete]

AMENDED PICKUP POINT 2
Pacific Highway, Pymble.
At the bus stop near the steps leading to the Railway Station (city bound side).
Approx times: 6:45 - 7:00 PM on the 13th
5:40 -5:55 PM on the 19th
Please be waiting for the bus as we will go ASAP.
THIS PICKUP POINT REPLACES CHATSWOOD ON BOTH DATES.
