From where? I'll assume London and then it's about 2 hours, just over usually. Or megabus/national express at around 3 hours.

It is the day of the Heineken cup final in the Stadium so transport could be a bit of a nightmare.

Also where is Llandudno? Wales obviously, but what airport is closest to it? Is Bristol and Liverpool airports relatively close to Wales?
North Wales. The nearest aiport is Liverpool I'd guess.

Exactly. May the mountain come to Mohammed.

Also, the lack of a London date surely suggests a London/Southern festival appearance?

They're at V, plus maybe they'll make an appearance at Glasto, Latitude or Wireless?

Unless there's something announced that is closer to me, I may have to miss out this time. I was lucky enough to have seen them at Brixton and Hard Rock Cafe this year. I guess with these shows plus the Winter Wonderland is why there's no London date in May. I guess Cambridge is a no no too, seeing as they played there on the last tour.

Manchester's a better bet, it's slightly further away but the trains are more direct. I'm fairly sure you can do it with one change from Manchester but Liverpool will involve two, maybe three.

Manc to llandudno trains are £12 each way with no changes for only 2 hours, LA has a good call.

I'll probably go to the Cardiff one, easy train journey, hotels nearby, and it's near the Cardiff station. Plus being on a Saturday I don't skip Uni, sorted.

Those UK dates are so horribly inconvenient that I am seriously considering Easyjetting to that Amsterdam date.

Heineken Cup Final is on that day in Cardiff - hotel rooms are going to be overpriced or non-existent.
