263.0. "Commute from Weybridge to Guildford?" by RTL::RAVEN () Fri Feb 23 1990 16:26

    I may be attending the IEEE Professional Communication Conference
    in Guildford, Surrey, in September.  I was planning on staying in
    Weybridge and taking the train to Guildford each day. (I was in
    Weybridge about 10 years ago and loved it).  Would I be rational in
    trying to commute from Weybridge to Guildford each morning to arrive at
    the conference center (post house hotel) by 8:30 or so?
    
    	Would bus or train be better? any suggestions?
    
    	Thanks,
    Mary Beth

    Hi Mary Beth,
    
    Commuting from Weybridge to the Post House at Guildford is most likely
    the best alternative.  Trains from Weybridge to Guildford are good but
    you would need to catch a bus at Guildford, as the Post House is about
    2 miles from the station.  I have no idea about busses, but they tend
    to be slow.  Commuting should be relatively easy as the Post House is
    just off and under the A3 (signposted Cathedral and Hospital) and the
    access from Weybridge is reasonably (although I do not know what the
    traffic will be like, early in the morning.
    
    Hope this helps,
    regards,  Richard.

    	Thanks very much for the information.  It makes the trip much
    easier to plan.
