Arrivals - SoCraTesUK/socrates-uk GitHub Wiki
Are you travelling by train? Maybe sharing a car? Taxi is needed from the train station to Milton Mill House. Maybe people arriving at approximately the same time can make groups of four to pick up the taxi.
Milton Mill House
Steventon, Abingdon, Oxford, OX13 6AF England, United Kingdom T: +44 (0) 1235 831 474
Getting to the venue:
Train
The nearest train station is Didcot Parkway, which is just 40 minutes from London Paddington.
Taxis
There are usually many taxis available at the taxi rank at Didcot Parkway; turn right when you come out of the train station.
If you want to book a taxi (and this will be more useful when going home than when going to the venue), you can use one of the following companies:
- Go Green Taxis; taxis can be booked online, through their smartphone app, or you can call +44 (0)1235 608012.
Buses
Although there are local bus services that take you some of the way to the venue, they don't take you all the way there and would leave you walking the last part of the journey down a country road. In addition, my experience when I lived in Didcot was that local buses are often late or don't turn up at all, so I sadly don't recommend relying on them.
Coordinating arrivals
It'll keep things tidy here if you put your handles (slack, mastodon, etc) on the whoami page, and reference/link your name here.
