Ok now I've not got my interview yet, but its coming (soon I hope). But I don't know what to do about getting down there and stuff. Went down on the overnight Bus for the medical from manchester, was not fun it was packet !!! got no sleep but was ok coming back. so I could ether,

1) go down on the overnight bus on a return ticket for the interview. it get in about 6.15

2) go down the day before on the bus and stay in the hotel.

3) get the plane there and back.

4) get the plane the day before and stay in the hotel.

Look't at the train and it was coming up more expensive than the plane go figure !!! the bus is only £ 36 pound But not sure If I could do it again LOL anyone want to share their experience on this please

thanks in advance

The bus is usually the cheapest - but they are ALWAYS crowded and it is like hell! The train is almost always out if you have a morning interview because they don't get down from MAN til about mid day. If you can fly down and stay the day before, that is your best bet (but likely most expensive). If you are looking for cheap and secure, take the coach down the day before and stay over night. Going on the day is risky and you wouldn't want to have to reschedule your interview!

The medical we scheduled in the afternoon and I believe got the train - because if we are late/missed it, figured it was easier to just turn up and say "hi, im here!" Let us know what you decide.

Not sure if this helps at all. Perhaps catch the train at one of the stops South of Leeds???

I was travelling down for my interview in July 2007 (how time flies!) from Doncaster.

I was able to get a GNER Saver Return train ticket by booking in advance, travelling down

the night before and back before 2:30pm. Had my interview taken another

I caught the last stayed at a hotel in the Paddington area

and then was able to walk to the embassy in the morning.

I could have travelled down in the very early hours, but I didn't want to chance it.

I would always suggest travelling down the night before unless cost is a bigger issue than the

risk of delay.

I was slightly concerned about the risk of oversleeping, but the noise woke me well

before my alarm!

I hope that your interview goes well.

D'oh!

Had I had to wait another half hour for my interview I'd have had to pay for

a single back up. I caught the final train valid for Saver Return. Arrived

at 9am, but ended up as the second interview after lunch. I hope it's a bit

less busy earlier in the year than July.
