Beedster Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 So, I recently advertised my Ampeg PF-50/115 Flip-Top for sale, collection only from Canterbury as I no longer trust couriers following a few rather annoying incidents. As it turns out a lovely gentleman named Jeff (aka ToneFree) from the suburb of Canterbury known as Aberdeen indicated that he had his heart set on it if we could make it work. So here's asking whether anyone can help out with a rather long distance relay. If you can, please drop me or Jeff a PM or post below. If the cab makes if from here to Aberdeen in less than one month courtesy the BC community I'm going to make a £100 donation to Barrie/Molan's charity here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I’m happy to do a stint - am in Herts so if anyone can get it to either Scratchwood services or J8 on M1 I can take over and get it as far as Northampton services (J15a on M1). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 That’s a really kind offer Chris. I’m in Henley if that’s any use for someone. Easy to get to west London and up the M40 to Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len_derby Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 If anyone can get it as far as the East Midlands; Derby, Nottingham, Leicester area I'm ready to take it north for a section, either side of the Pennines, Manchester or Sheffield side.

Kirky Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm driving from Archway to Harrogate on Monday. If you can get it to Archway I'd be happy to bring it to Yorkshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozkerr Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I could manage Leeds to Edinburgh on the 21st February. Could meet between Leeds and Sheffield. EDIT: Or collect from Harrogate.

lozkerr Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 @ped - I'm wondering if there's scope for a dedicated Underground Railway forum? It looks like a lot of BCers travel around quite a bit. F'rinstance, I make regular train journeys between Edinburgh and London, and regular car journeys between Edinburgh and Yorkshire. I could easily take a bass on the train (DBs excepted because of the size and the fact that peak-hour trains are aye rammed) and can take anything that'll go in a Landy between Yorkshire and Embra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that is an excellent idea. Quite rightly a lot of us don't trust couriers and this is a cracking solution 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone needs to take ownership of it for it to be effective though. Possibly a dedicated thread for members to put their names down and state the routes they are willing to do. Agreed. I think a pinned thread in the Marketplace would be the best place for it. I'm happy to do some donkey work collating names and routes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Guys, thanks so much for the above, just looking at a few travel options and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Cheers. C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to do some donkey work collating names and routes. I don't think a pinned thread will work - people come and go, and it'll end up being inaccurate quite quickly, unless anyone who wanted to be involved updated you every month or so. Also pinning threads is the number one way to make sure it gets overlooked. I think the best method would be a forum where people wanting help post the from>to in the topic title and then leave it to people to work it out from there on a case by case basis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense. Maybe worth adding it to the Marketplace? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
