the early bird tickets are always worth getting if you think about it it's only £5 to have more room and a better chance of a lucky find :D :D
please be careful going out of the zones on your travel card if you get caught you will get a large fine and a criminal record, better to get an oyster card you can use these like a travel card and they cover some out of zone stations

Just booked my coachticket from Amsterdam to London.
37 euro this time for a return.
Very much looking forward to see you there.

Hi Marcel, is that a one day return ticket?
Where did you make the reservation, I might want to go as well.
Gerrit.
Gerrit, Did you receive my last message with more info.
I travel one night to London, then whole day in the UK (from 4.45 till 21.30) and then next night back.
Yes the price is for a return but the sonner you book they cheaper it is.
I have been to Sandown for 22 euro return ticket in the past (for the Amsterdam-London return ticket) in the past.
In London I buy a 6 zone day travel card. Esher (place of the Sandown event) is just one station outside the 6th zone but never had problems with that as i travel there in the very early morning. You can use the card for all your journeys within the city for the rest of the day.
If I remember right that card will cost you 8 gbp.
I buy an early bird ticket at Sandown to get in early and the last time I went that early bird ticket was 10 gbp.
Far better then waiting till 10.30 when the public gets in and pay half price to get in comapring to the early bird ticket.

marcel
Yes Marcel all received, and guess what, I booked the same bus as you, ETD 19:30 Friday evening, ETA 5:45 Saturday morning Victoria London.

So if nothing comes in between, I'll be at Sandown the 28th

Hey Guys (Marcel and Gerrit), is there a chance you will be on the same Bus/Coach, because if it is, you can or probably should, arrive at Sandown together and for me that would be great!

Yes Kevin we will arrive together, we travel on the same bus, tube etc. to get to Sandown.
I will take the big red 1/24 Chinese Rolls Royce Phantom V with me, so take ample bags or so with you.
The YY Bugatti has found a new home in the meantime, so no show.

Kevin please make sure you make a good impression. Marmaduke should be ready with the silver tray with cucumber sandwiches and champagne at the very least for breakfast.

Ah Alex I see you are a man of good taste. It would indeed be appropriate if the Dutch delegation will be treated with the utmost courtesy. Maybe a more diverse array of sandwiches can be provided on arrival. The guard of honor and the welcome committee
should be ready when we alight from my Learjet. For lunch, fish and chips will do fine.
