Just arrived and it's absolutely pissing down, the station is a nightmare trying to get on the bus ..soaked to the skin and not even there yet!
I hope you haven't thrown away your outbound train ticket like I did last year. Just got past the exit slope from the station and joined the queue for the buses and they wanted to check my train ticket.
Mrs is there today on the bus an hour so far, when people are paying over £80.00 a ticket they really should up there game i didnt realise south eastern had a hand in organising cheltenham, the worry is tuesday is usually quietest day if this weather holds up im dreading tomorrow and thursday on the 9.23 out of euston to birmingham then to cheltenham.
as for the betting this is going to be a great week for @bobmunro as its going to be heavy

We've been sitting on the bus for over an hour now but it's pissing down too hard to walk!
Our corporate tkts are £500 each and I suspect my lunch is getting cold
Going tomorrow and its killing me being a work today, i just want to sit in my pants and watch it
update from course is real chance racing called off tomorrow, wonder what happens i will already be £140 down without a bet as hotel and train for the night.
am hoping from a big run from fakir in the opener cheltenham form etc as this is going to be very testing on some of these horses, native river for the gold cup could be a cracking bet just got on again on it.

Good luck everyone, and more importantly may all the the horses and jockeys come home safely.
