Fox Stevenson LIVE 2026 – Electric Brixton, London (18/04/2026)

[unreal pasture]

that's where the new CDC is right?

[desert bone]

oh it's actually got a name

[willow badge]

yep

old broadmarsh

or broad marsh, idk i keep seeing it spelt both ways

[unreal pasture]

ahh

got ye old flix to there

[desert bone]

apparently there's a good indian place down there, next to the bus station

[stuck carbon]

Real tbh

[unreal pasture]

I got told of an elite taco place in Hockley tbf

[desert bone]

Bar Iberico?

oh wait, it might be a diff place acc

Hockley is super goated for food spots honestly

[willow badge]

atleast the one thing left of broadmarsh looks nice i guess

[desert bone]

only good part about it tbf

since they re-did that whole area it looks sooo much nicer

[willow badge]

also seemingly the only area in notts that has a 24 hour loo

[desert bone]

crazy work

[unreal pasture]

think this was it https://maps.app.goo.gl/ppRRXXtHL6r1kyzW8

[willow badge]

not exactly a nottingham exclusive, but pizza pilgrims in hockley is really nice

[autumn void]

This is my list of Notts food spots I've gotta hit up

Everyday People is a goated ramen spot

[willow badge]

doughnotts is lovely too

[desert bone]

ahh

gotchu

[desert bone]

unfortunately i can't say the same 🥀
went there with family once and the pizza was very underwhelming, wasn't a good experience for us as a whole

[autumn void]

Rudy's pizza is my fave chain I think

[willow badge]

rudys is much better than pizza pilgrims

theres one in west bridgford now so i can literally just walk there 😭

[willow badge]

ah, maybe me and my gf have just gotten lucky then

[unreal pasture]

i went to the one in leicester when it was there and it was alright tbf

[wheat lion]

one is en route to London for the weekend 👀

loving what i see so far

[willow badge]

😭

i wonder if dave has his own wifi yet

probably not

[wheat lion]

god knows

i managed to get a first class upgrade for pretty cheap so i am gonna enjoy this journey

[willow badge]

ooo

seatfrog?

[wheat lion]

damn right

[willow badge]

hell yeah

[wheat lion]

im currently adjusting the average hair colour of the newcastle first class lounge clientelle

[willow badge]

😭

[wheat lion]

just by sitting here

[willow badge]

going to be nonstop travelling between 3pm-10pm tomorrow 💀

walsall-nottingham-london

making sure my headphones are fully charged

[unreal pasture]

eek

[autumn void]

I'm a big fan of seatfrog

Wicked bit of entrepreneurship

[balmy oasis]

Per the VIP email, I'm thinking about phoning the venue and asking if their cloakroom can take a tote bag + jacket/jumper, has anyone done so yet? Or is that silly and they'll definitely be fine with a bag

I wanna bring my vinyl cover to get signed but obvs don't want to carry it around for the whole show lol

[willow badge]

i wasnt a fan until i actually tried it

but now i actively use it 😭

[modest breach]

They might charge for 2 items but they’ll almost definitely take that

It’s a pretty big cloakroom

[wheat lion]

i do have terrible news everyone

there will be no tevenson t-shirts this year

because i wanna wear my new skirt and it's not white

[willow badge]

it would appear that the new shirt is 55 euros

so around £50?

[wheat lion]

tis a thing of the past

[willow badge]

😔

[desert bone]

my lord

[leaden coral]

I'm hearing you. Same day shirt printing in the same colour

[wheat lion]

it's unfortunately black so i'll probably just wear last years tour shirt

if i wear the skirt at all

[leaden coral]

Or…

Long-sleeved black shirt
Then this shirt on top

[willow badge]

invert the colour on the print to be white

[leaden coral]

(I understand you weren't asking for "how can I wear this", I just love this shirt xD)

[wheat lion]

i'll see if i can find same day black tshirt printing 😅

and invert it

but i very much doubt it

[leaden coral]

Noooo it's not worth it x_x

[wheat lion]

oh but it is

if i can manage it

it'll be my first time wearing a skirt out, would make it even more special lol

[molten totem]

Hi chat

[wheat lion]

uh you're a bit early

[molten totem]

Gotta camp early to make sure I get the best spot yknow

[wheat lion]

so that's how you get barrier

[molten totem]

Exactly

[leaden coral]

Mine's the red tent by the entrance
-# /s

[leaden coral]

Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If it's a skirt night, you'll know ^^

[wheat lion]

if i don't put pressure on myself ill never do it

this is a good night for it, you guys are amazing 🥺

[leaden coral]

That's very valid!

I hope you're able to. At the very least, you can snap/share a pic of your outfit you would wear - we're all supportive here

[willow badge]

its london, you have the highest possible chance

[wheat lion]

i've only got a picture of me in it holding two buzzballs

[wheat lion]

not of affording it 😭😭

[willow badge]

okay that one might be a barrier 😭

[wheat lion]

oops that's the instagram post

oh well

[leaden coral]

#sesh

The outfit looks so adorable - I love it! Esp the hair too

But the buzzballs complete it

[wheat lion]

oh the hairs been redone since then it's even more vibrant now 😭

thank you :DDD

[mortal arrow]

Get your Instagram doxxed gg

[willow badge]

you look amazing!

[wheat lion]

thank you so much 😅😅

[molten totem]

Slay

[wheat lion]

im crying no please not my instagram

[leaden coral]

No please don't give them follows they'd hate that oh nooooooo…

[mortal arrow]

sigh I'll let it slide

[willow badge]

what is an instant gram

👵

[leaden coral]

What I call my plug in my contacts

-# Don't do drugs.

[wheat lion]

i almost went a very different direction there

[willow badge]

😭

[mortal arrow]

A very fast unit of weight measurement

[wheat lion]

uber eats for coke (coca cola)

[leaden coral]

Gps = Grams per sec

[leaden coral]

Uber Drinks

[willow badge]

all coke?

(llike pepsi)

[wheat lion]

and barr's cola

[willow badge]

holy shit barr cola

https://tenor.com/view/zaunvi-caitvitwt-stan-twitter-gif-11982472424887997248

[wheat lion]

this is how i feel when anyone brings up aldi lemonade

back when it was like 10p for 2L

[willow badge]

omg yess

[willow badge]

ooo i didnt know lner did their own ale too

ive had the avanti one

as an ale/beer hater, ehhhh

[leaden coral]

Still top tier

[leaden coral]

That's a bus company here

[wheat lion]

i quite like a local brewery around here so i've been trying a few more

this one's surprisingly decent

[wheat lion]

i didn't know any other train companies were extra enough to have branded drinks

[willow badge]

its avanti

[wheat lion]

i've never ridden avanti so i'll take your word for that

[leaden coral]

Classic

[wheat lion]

swr is pretty much a bus company these days too

[leaden coral]

Lmaooo

In Cornwall, we tried to have our own branch of First

[wheat lion]

genuinely do not think they've gotten me to london once without some kind of delay or cancellation

[leaden coral]

The buses were greeeeeeen

[willow badge]

omg kernow

[leaden coral]

Yas!

[willow badge]

rip kernow

[leaden coral]

I always do Coach now, and the day before, cos I know there'll be some bull bull

[willow badge]

thats like me with avanti 😭

[willow badge]

same here

since moving to notts i havent tried using the train to london

emr can kiss my ass if they think im paying like 100 quid

[willow badge]

theyre the only train company with a 3 tier class system

in the uk

excluding eurostar

and they have the cool tilting trains

[leaden coral]

I'm in Leicester atm, and the last fox show, I didn't get a seat for the whole journey

[willow badge]

emr moment

[leaden coral]

Truly

[unreal pasture]

i'm sorry for your loss (of braincells)

[leaden coral]

Oh I feel it

[wheat lion]

im going back home to portsmouth and there was genuinely only 20% of trains out that weren't rail replacements

feel like i might as well get a coach

[wheat lion]

:O

maybe i have to ride avanti sometime

they do look fancy as hell

[willow badge]

yeahh they kinda are

better be for the price

[unreal pasture]

good luck getting a seat....

[leaden coral]

I prefer to lay across the floor

[modest breach]

I’m glad I no longer rely on those buses 😂

[wheat lion]

jesus christ speaking of! apparently seat reservation signs are broken on this train im on now

[unreal pasture]

Edinburgh to london train is always RAMMED

[wheat lion]

so fucking glad i got the first class upgrade because oh my god i would not have a seat

[willow badge]

i have you seen one of the new* trains yet (delayed by like 5 years)

[unreal pasture]

i now double down on my comment lol

[leaden coral]

I'll never forget

• bus every 2h
• one didn't show up, so I went home
• came back, got on bus
• > "I'm actually the bus from 2h ago. The real bus is behind me"

[modest breach]

Yuppp

[modest breach]

Mine was hourly so not as bad but so unreliable

[wheat lion]

can you tell im enjoying myself lol

[willow badge]

omg i love your hair

[unreal pasture]

the hair do be a vibe

[modest breach]

I still have to commute down once a week but at least the Truro park and ride isn’t bad 😂

[wheat lion]

i redid it specifically for saturday cause it had faded a bunch so that's really appreciated 💜💜

[leaden coral]

They treat Truro like it's the only place 😭

[mental jackal]

hair do be cool

[leaden coral]

Hair 👍

[unreal pasture]

i thought cornwall was in london tbh /j

[mental jackal]

I'm coming from Soton and apparently the Clapham Junction trains run till late, so I should be able to make it back after the show with time to spare

[leaden coral]

The ultimate trigger is
"Oh Cornwall? Like where Plymouth is?"

[wheat lion]

ngl i'd have been headed back to pompey and decided not to risk south western rail so you're braver than me

[unreal pasture]

I mean true though

[mental jackal]

fuck it worst case there's a 1:30 national express back that's always empty

[leaden coral]

https://tenor.com/view/skiing-viralhog-ski-sliding-down-on-snow-gif-24912407

Worst case:

(on the back of a rando's car)

[modest breach]

@everyone set times for Saturday. Catch you at 6pm 😉

[unreal pasture]

Who knew london has like MEGA cheap airbnb's like cheaper than getting a 2am bus back to brum

[wheat lion]

see you at 6 🫡

[wheat lion]

i ended up getting a premier inn at heathrow and then they jacked the tube prices there massively

[tropic chasm]

So hyped to see you all again!

[willow badge]

finally found this

[wheat lion]

not pleased but i did still save money rather than getting a premier inn in brixton

[spark jasper]

meanwhile I'm gonna be playing dice with the last trains in london

[wheat lion]

that can is hot as fuck oh my

[willow badge]

yeah, i kept it 😭

[unreal pasture]

i mean 4 people for 60 quid is elite icl

[wheat lion]

i would have too!

[leaden coral]

Catch me leaving at 18:45 who are these other bozos on the king's set list?
/s

[willow badge]

got it for free aswell because i did first class that day

[spark jasper]

oh yeah nah yeah the elizabeth line at heathrow is a scam

because heathrow own the tunnels, not TfL

[modest breach]

Fox Whoenson?

[wheat lion]

it may be a scam but it's quick 😅

i'll see if piccadilly line is a noticeable price difference

[willow badge]

heathrow express is a bigger scam

[wheat lion]

cause i need to go there to change anyway

[spark jasper]

pic is 4.50 from central london, liz is 13.50

[wheat lion]

bloody hell

maybe piccadilly line then

as much as i love the lizzie line

[spark jasper]

you can also get superloop to hayes and it's still cheaper

[unreal pasture]

[tropic chasm]

Its gonna be tight timings for me getting home. The show ends at 11 and the last train home is at 12

[wheat lion]

oh wow

[leaden coral]

Prison

[unreal pasture]

cheaper than the silly timed bus

[spark jasper]

yay for me being able to use night tube

[unreal pasture]

i mean after my drinking and kebab i could sleep in a plant pot

[tropic chasm]

I gotta get a train back to eastbourne

[wheat lion]

night tube to heathrow is gonna be fun

[leaden coral]

https://tenor.com/view/bush-im-a-bush-meme-memes-if-im-not-a-bush-im-not-no-one-gif-22675499

"I'm a bush"

[spark jasper]

nah I'ma night tube to oxford circus

[tropic chasm]

So ill still be making use of the night tube

[wheat lion]

oh no that's what im gonna be doing lol

[rigid pagoda]

He took the midnight train going anyyyywheeerrrreeee

[unreal pasture]

wouldn't be the first time....

[willow badge]

imagine not being able to leverage off your amazing girlfriend and stay at their fathers for absolutely free and its just a bus ride away from the venue! (she is coming too im not just using her 😭 )

[wheat lion]

to oxford circus doesn't sound nearly as bad

[spark jasper]

I somehow get the feeling that I'm gonna be the only person leaving sober

[leaden coral]

I too will stay at your gf's dad's place

Can we all come, actually?

[willow badge]

erm

no i think wed all be kicked out

[unreal pasture]

[spark jasper]

[willow badge]

[spark jasper]

[modest breach]

They might but don't count on it

[willow badge]

🙏

[leaden coral]

If not, you can threaten Stan in person :D

-# I do not condone threatening other people

[rigid pagoda]

I don't even remember

But nice one lmao

[modest breach]

There were vinyls being sold at the Pizza Party in December, but idk if they're being brought around Europe for this tour

[rigid pagoda]

I think the last pint I bought for someone was actually @modest breach after the pizza party (it was a fantastic pint)

I'm just eating, then I'll ping out the pre drinks location

[tropic chasm]

Unless I'm remembering the wrong person

[rigid pagoda]

I mean I'll take a pint on behalf of them lmao

[modest breach]

I think you might have but I was several in at that point

[tropic chasm]

I owe someone a pint as they gifted me a month sub to fox's twitch so that I could watch a stream thati missed

[opaque wraith]

Dude the amount of ADHD chat in here in the last 20 mins xD

[rigid pagoda]

It might tell you in your twitch notifications tbh

[rigid pagoda]

Pre Drinks / Pre Show Meetup

I've booked an outdoor long table at Hope & Anchor, located just under 10 minutes walking distance from Electric Brixton!

https://maps.app.goo.gl/RUTU85vb7KXqCrdd6

There is a massive table located in the rear beer garden, it is ours from 3-6pm
You are welcome to go there earlier than this time, you can just sit anywhere 🙂

I've spoken to the managers there who have said they are more than happy for people to go inside or outside for food, but the main table out the back will be ours

If anyone asks what the table booking is under, its my name, but I have told them it's a pre-drinks for Fox Stevenson

I'll be getting there just after 3pm with a few of the modsquad & team

Cant wait to see everyone!

@modest breach Would you mind also pinning this please good sir

[wheat lion]

[rigid pagoda]

Last years table we made it that long ourselves lmao

[wheat lion]

infinity beers is my plan

[arctic citrus]

I'm already getting started! Was gonna chill at the hotel room but the beer and nerdy stuff was calling!

I think this place was the best beer nerd spot I could find this central (Beer + Burger) 🥳

You can also buy cans of beer.. and bring.. home! Which is illegal for silly reasons in sweden 😄

[leaden coral]

why does the Platform 9 3/4 helper have a wand

[wheat lion]

holy shit 😅

lner is cosplaying as swr

[willow badge]

Yeahhh

[wheat lion]

yikes i really didn't leave that long before

[haughty lily]

bruh getting the train from Newcastle tomorrow if it's cancelled I'm ending it all

[wheat lion]

omg another newcastle fox fan

[willow badge]

Things are still quite dire but I imagine things will be fine by tomorrow

[haughty lily]

aye it should be, they have like 24 hours to sort it

swear this happened the last time I travelled down for a fox show

[wheat lion]

that is such a useful website my god im stealing that

[willow badge]

Yesss, realtimetrains is amazing

App is coming soon

Tells you the platform before departure, exact fleetcode of the train you're on for most operators, what features it has, estimated times and more!

[wheat lion]

that's amazing

[willow badge]

A train that is actually running for example

[wheat lion]

sainsbury's train

[willow badge]

Detailed mode gives you the actual fleet code and pretty much the exact location

[willow badge]

I diss the west midlands a lot but the one thing we've done well is the connected liveries for public transport

[wheat lion]

that's so cool, im absolutely bookmarking that

[willow badge]

All of the public transport methods have their own unique identity which shares the same theming to create a form of multi modal network

[wheat lion]

so sort of like tfl but less boring

that's a sick ass tram

[willow badge]

Yeah pretty much

[willow badge]

Because it shows which livery your train is in, it's currently useful for finding out if your crosscountry train is a refurbished unit or not

[willow badge]

Our trams are really nice, however they are really unreliable

Like every few years they just go out of service for months because they've started falling apart

[leaden coral]

If you start walking the route now, you can avoid a few of the stops to increase your chances!

- Lner's PR team, probably

[willow badge]

This is not a joke, a few years ago the trams were out of service for like a year because they had to be sent back to Spain due to the roofs collapsing due to a battery being placed on both ends

[wheat lion]

well that doesn't quite seem ideal

[wheat lion]

how on earth does that even happen

[willow badge]

The first batch of them weren't built with batteries and im assuming they weren't made to handle that much weight

[wheat lion]

i must say i may be a little bit of a nerd, specifically for the metro 👀

love the metro

[wheat lion]

you'd have thought an engineer would have considered that

[willow badge]

The only reason they need the batteries is because of an extension going past the Birmingham art gallery and they complained the overhead wires

[willow badge]

Omg yesss

I did one of the remaining Tyne and wear old metros last month before they get retired

[wheat lion]

i've not seen one in about a month :(

and i get the metro to work most days

figure most of them are gone by now

[willow badge]

It was by pure luck aswell, me and my gf wanted to go from Gateshead to the station and the first one was just an old one

We did Nottingham* to Newcastle by bus all in one day 😭

[willow badge]

First and only time doing it as well btw

[wheat lion]

i can't say i envy that 😭

i've done portsmouth to newcastle a couple times before i lived up there by coach and it's horrid

[haughty lily]

don't get me started on the Metros

old metros were better than the new ones

[wheat lion]

i miss the comfy seats, the ones where i don't have to be opposite someone, the front!!

the new ones are so much nicer during rush hour though

[haughty lily]

noooo I think the old ones are better during rush hour, nowhere to hold onto on the new ones

[willow badge]

Ahhhh, tbh that's probably something to do by overnight coach

This was by public bus though, so no coaches were allowed

We wanted to see how far we could get in a day

[wheat lion]

oh yeah true, i was just considering less chairs in the way cause they got rid of the sofa style ones

[wheat lion]

WHAT????

that's mental

you left your address in 😅

[willow badge]

A

Thank uou

🙏

Nottingham > Chesterfield > Barnsley > Wakefield > Leeds > Whitby > Middlesbrough > Newcastle

[wheat lion]

that's a ridiculous journey

but yknow power to you

[willow badge]

It was literally just a funny idea I had while I was in college

And we didn't have anything else to do

Also done Reading to Nottingham by public bus but that one isn't so magnificent

Didn't take 15 hours too 😭

[wheat lion]

consider me impressed, i wouldn't stilll be sane after that

[willow badge]

We just about were

https://fxflic.kr/p/2s2fzrr
https://fxflic.kr/p/2s2eKt5

I didn't get many photos because it was literally pitch black once we got there, definitely want to properly go back one day though

Also because everything in-between was perfectly time by like 10 minutes at most

Especially now Newcastle has some new buses!

[brittle turtle]

I'm learning a lot today... did not know about this site, nor seatfrog 🙂 Thank you.

[willow badge]

Np 😂

[opaque wraith]

It's a train 😄

Absolutely standard UK train experience

1 journey costs 2 days wages and it doesnt turn up

[stuck carbon]

Gang??

[wheat lion]

🙏🙏🙏

[stuck carbon]

Huge massive

I'm on from central tomorrow also

[wheat lion]

i went from there yesterday thank god

made it down south okay

[stuck carbon]

Fox stevenson UKF on air (Tyne and Wear metro JBL speaker set)

[stuck carbon]

Winner

[wheat lion]

best of luck for you and baguette getting to london okay

[modest breach]

Tbf if trains are disrupted today due to trespassers on the rails, I’m sure they’ll be fine tomorrow

Since it’s just a chain reaction of delays

[autumn void]

guess you could call it a train reaction

[opaque wraith]

Newcastle? 👀

[haughty lily]

I have like a 4 hour buffer so even if it's delayed should be okay

[stuck carbon]

Aye, I'll don some Geordie merch to be identifiable in the pub

[haughty lily]

what time train are you on lol

[opaque wraith]

Oh, sweet naïve prince 🤣

[haughty lily]

that's plenty!

[opaque wraith]

[haughty lily]

have some faith

[leaden coral]

I have made it onto a coach of some sorts.

I hate coaches as much as trains

[willow badge]

Green or white

[arctic citrus]

Woo!

I tool the Gatwick express yesterday thinking it'd be red and.. clean.. but it was green and almost brown from dirt 🥳

[stuck carbon]

Mid morning I think mate

[leaden coral]

White!

5 minutes into London & already have seen a Lime bike parked in an awful spot, and a Lime scooter causing havoc

[gusty carbon]

See you lovely lot tomorrow o7

[rigid pagoda]

See you guys tomorrow!! Remember the pre drinks location, everyone is welcome, solo or with friends!
I will keep my DMs open if anyone is anxious/nervous about the meet up or anything 🙂

[modest breach]

Eyyy didn’t realise you were coming along mate

[gusty carbon]

Always man couldn't miss out on a good evening

[leaden coral]

I have survived my coach trip

[molten totem]

I'm nervous about meeting you

[rigid pagoda]

You should be

[willow badge]

15 more minutes until I start my 8 hour trek to London

[opaque wraith]

My friend from Newcastle came back with me to scotland last night, we are driving to birmingham at half 5, then to coventry in the morning to collect 2 more, then to london to drop off the car, then tube to brixton 😄

[autumn void]

Christ you're on a trek

[desert bone]

new nickname dropped

[arctic citrus]

London is surprisingly easy to get around! Love that you can blip your credit card at the underground.

Crazy warm tho

[opaque wraith]

Legit longer and more awkward than the trips to the us xD

[autumn void]

I know @lucid ferry is flying from Scotland because it's faster and cheaper

[lucid ferry]

that I am

[opaque wraith]

I live in Lockerbie which isnt close to any airport, Manchester is the easist to get to

[lucid ferry]

really!

[opaque wraith]

but its quite expensive to do this then i have to get to somewhere to stay

and this way im splitting the costs with 3 others so travel becomes very small

[lucid ferry]

that’s so fair

i’m flying edi - stanstead

[opaque wraith]

Train would have been like £150 or something

flying once you include to and from the airport was more

[lucid ferry]

from Lockerbie yeah i can imagine that’s not easy

i got flights weeks ago so it was more doable

but still stanstead into london gonna rinse me

[rigid pagoda]

Oh no

[modest breach]

Either coach to Victoria or train to Tottenham Hale aren’t too bad tbf

Not cheap but not awful

[lucid ferry]

didn’t consider the coach tbf

[lucid ferry]

me when i’m deliberately ignoring the instructions given before the match

[molten totem]

Can confirm, got a stansted express a couple days ago to Tottenham Hale and it was just half an hour and like £18.50

Busses are the same for pricing, just a bit longer

[analog zinc]

20 bucks for a 30 min ride is expensive tho 😬

[gritty fox]

when the train is more expensive than the flight

[opaque wraith]

In the UK, basically always

🤡

[leaden coral]

Lmao

My friend. I was talking to him as I typed Ash

[leaden coral]

I am MELTING

[desert bone]

I love EMR
Train hasn't even left Notts yet and it's showing as delayed

[willow badge]

Shouldve gone with nx instead smh

Literally just left notts too

[analog zinc]

It is just 1 min tho…
If the past few weeks it has always arrived a minute late you can safely assume that it‘ll do that this time as well; hence the predicted delay

[desert bone]

Tbf I did think about coach but I'd rather have the quicker journey to London

[willow badge]

Yeahh I guess you do get in an hour before us

[desert bone]

Oh yeah it's a small amount of time, there's no actual issue, but the fact that it's predicted delayed before it's even left is typical for UK

[willow badge]

Holy shit you've got one of the new trains

Lucky

[desert bone]

Yesss

[analog zinc]

Not just the UK. Most train companies do it these days

[desert bone]

This is my 2nd time on the new fancy bougie trains

[desert bone]

Oooh really?
Fair enough then

[willow badge]

I haven't had chance to get one yet

I keep seeing them stabled outside derby though when going to college

They've annoyingly been focussing on launching them on the Sheffield runs rather than notts

[desert bone]

Ahh

They're quite nice

[willow badge]

I've heard good and bad things about them

[analog zinc]

DB sometimes predicts delays of up to 10-15 minutes 😅

[mortal arrow]

[leaden coral]

So weird that you're right by where I'm watching TV xD

Come catch us, we're delayed by 9 mins !!!

[willow badge]

We're not due into victoria until 21:50 😔

However we're also early so doing better than you

[molten totem]

300m from my Airbnb and doesn't even come to say hi smh

Guys I have a question, do you know if the venue sells any sort of food? I feel like going until 11pm with no food is gonna be a bit much haha

[mortal arrow]

You come here

[molten totem]

Aight bet

[celest storm]

Last time I went there, there was no food

But where the pre drinks meet up is happening they do food too

[molten totem]

Tbh I was thinking of just having a pretty big lunch at around 2pm so I can last as much as possible

[mortal arrow]

Raid the maccas nearby after the show

[molten totem]

That's probably going to happen haha

[gusty carbon]

There's also a burger king down the road I wanna say if maccies is rammed

[wispy dew]

Spare ticket for tomorrow, going to a good home if anyone wants it

[soft spear]

as a chef....... poor kitchen team

[wispy dew]

I can also vouch for that

Rather them than us, eh

[soft spear]

aye true

deal with it

its what we're paid for at the end of day

[wispy dew]

We hungry

I feel more sorry for the bar staff tomorrow 😂

[soft spear]

we should stay all on the same drink and run them out of it

thatd be hilarious xD

[wispy dew]

Ill call ahead and make sure they are well stocked

[autumn void]

Delay repay railcard coming in handy

[severe sky]

Yeah. If my train gets delayed by 9 mins then I get a full refund which would be nice

[autumn void]

It’s possible with LNER

[leaden coral]

There's a biscuit by Fox's called Crunch Creams. Theyre in an orange packet.

Du moste try them whilst you're here!!

[mortal arrow]

Where you staying at?

[leaden coral]

I'm in the Premier Inn by the venue (over the road)

[mortal arrow]

Ah, fairs

[autumn void]

The premierest of inns

Honestly it's farthest from xD

Buuuuut I'm bringing my friend (the Ant) for his first gig & wanted to make it super easy!

[wheat lion]

chat we are in london

[crystal light]

Hey people, just confirming the event finishes at 11pm

If you're going to Waterloo to catch a train afterwards, jump straight on the Victoria Line tube and change to the Northern at Stockwell, just checked TFL and there's no delays

Hope to see some of you there! You'll probably see a lot of us in Syn LDN shirts xD

[wheat lion]

on the northern line

almost at euston lol

[restive flame]

Getting excited now for this see you all there

[autumn void]

I’m rapidly running away from you (I am going clothes shopping)

[gusty carbon]

[wheat lion]

It’s a drag show apparently

I think trains from Newcastle to London won't make it

[soft spear]

Gifs that need no audio

[foggy panther]

Me too, more excited about that than the gig (only slightly a lie)

[haughty lily]

it's over

[wheat lion]

shit really?

[haughty lily]

they've told everyone to take their headphones off for an announcement

[molten totem]

Sunny af

[haughty lily]

there's a train stopped on the line further south and it's not moving

[gusty carbon]

Here's hoping it lasts woop woop

[opaque wraith]

This does sound like the standard train experience

Where are you currently

[soft spear]

Isn't too late to coach my friend!

[opaque wraith]

Maybe the replacement bus will be fast enough

[modest breach]

Train baited me with the wrong announcement a few mins ago

[molten totem]

Actually it's a bit cloudy but it's not bad and pretty warm

[soft spear]

You'll have to be swift tho for sure

[molten totem]

Here, it's like this haha

[soft spear]

I'm fuckin excited man

[haughty lily]

currently near York

disruption at Newark

[gusty carbon]

Gorgeous very much debating shorts for this evening

[gusty carbon]

Ewww that's fucking shit

Still time tho!!

[molten totem]

That's a bit hardcore for me haha, gonna be cold when we get out, but Idk what your resistance is

Surely a t shirt kinda day so far

[molten totem]

Good luck

[haughty lily]

ty ty we'll see what happens

they're cancelling all the other trains ffs

[gusty carbon]

Ahah my thoughts as well I think I'll pass

[foggy panther]

Hoping for the best!

[foggy panther]

I probably should have brought shorts… bit late now

[severe sky]

Yep…

[haughty lily]

this fucking country

[fossil island]

get the lingerie out for your set

[severe sky]

I think there might be one getting in at half 2 with “significant delays”

[modest breach]

Time to get jealous

[severe sky]

At least whatever happens I’m getting a free ride to London

[fossil island]

ill be cheering for you north of london in my full femboy attire dw

[gusty carbon]

Well nothing a pair of scissors can't fix 😂

[modest breach]

Hey at least you can go to Electric Ballroom 🙂

[foggy panther]

TRUE why didn’t I think of that

Anyone got scissors on them?

[molten totem]

Fox Stevenson concerts are probably the most inclusive normie events, totally not because of furries

[molten totem]

Just be brave enough and use your teeth

Ez

You'll get it eventually

[haughty lily]

if I can get to Doncaster I think I can get to st pancras

[fossil island]

Yeh man where is everyone show starts at 6pm right? or am i late again

[haughty lily]

actually no

trespassers on the line at York now

[analog zinc]

Well blame those f****rs then

[leaden coral]

Correct

[foggy panther]

True I’ve got a long enough train now

[leaden coral]

Ink, no

[mortal arrow]

Currently sunny

[foggy panther]

Nah don’t joke I almost booked an airbnb next door to electric ballroom..

[leaden coral]

That's what a stalker would say…

[severe sky]

Again. Trespassers cancelled my 9am train lmao

[haughty lily]

it's so over man

[severe sky]

I hope I get the fuck out of Newcastle. There was a tpe people were sprinting for to York. I heard conflicting accounts as to if my ticket was valid or not

I should be in York by now

[haughty lily]

yeah don't think I'm making it

[severe sky]

I mean I hope there’s not much delays elsewhere. I have a non refundable hotel so ive kinda got to get to London no matter what

It’s 10 mins until this train hopefully leaves Newcastle

[haughty lily]

been stuck outside York for half an hour now on the train

[severe sky]

Rip

Could you go to Manchester and use Avanti?

[haughty lily]

think Manchester is buggered atm too with the marathon and the protest on

[severe sky]

It’s so jover

[haughty lily]

if I can get to Doncaster I can go via Sheffield but that's it

[severe sky]

Go through Leeds?

Itll be another hour before I hit York and it says I should be able to go through

Hopefully it’s just a case of waiting for the line to reopen

[haughty lily]

I think Leeds takes the same line

[severe sky]

Maybe

[haughty lily]

aye it does

[severe sky]

I’ll see if I can bam anything. I think we might be getting the same train out of York

[haughty lily]

seems like it

don't think Sheffield is an option as that's a bus replacement lmao

no coaches can make it from York in time

[severe sky]

There should be another KGX train in a few mins that’s on time. No idea what platform it’s on

[haughty lily]

it'll go through the same line and be disrupted

moving into York now

[severe sky]

Ah okay

[haughty lily]

I think all trains York to London will have the same delays as on the same line

[willow badge]

If any of you want to brave the coach that is an option from york

However by the time you'd get here the train will probably be fixed

[haughty lily]

yeah i really dk what's the best, probably stay on here and hope

fucks sake

I think best bet is to stay on and pray

apart they're running trains past very slowly on a different line to bypass the broken train

[leaden coral]

Become the trespasser

[haughty lily]

but there's 5 trains on the backlog already

[modest breach]

Gutted that you guys are having disruptions, hope they ease up for you

[severe sky]

[willow badge]

If there was EMR acceptance I would've said go for XC or northern to Sheffield then EMR to London

[severe sky]

I mean they said theyre still scheduled to get this in on time

[haughty lily]

I checked Sheffield to London but all that comes up is via the same line

[unreal pasture]

XC last resort they stinky

[severe sky]

My main priority is getting to York

[willow badge]

EMR use the midland mainline instead of ECML

[severe sky]

Shout

I mean how would I get onto the MML from York @willow badge

[willow badge]

^

If you're willing to pay again

From york

[severe sky]

Okay

Does EMR do ticket acceptance?

[haughty lily]

stuck at York now until further jori

notice*

[willow badge]

Nah so you would have to pay again sadly

[haughty lily]

York to where?

[severe sky]

Cya in York it seems 🙃

[severe sky]

From Sheffield to London. You’d get acceptance onto northern & XC to Sheffield

[willow badge]

https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:C75120/2026-04-18#allox_id=0

There is a train at 11:44 to sheffield

[severe sky]

I’m nowhere near York yet

[willow badge]

From York

[severe sky]

I’m in Durham

[willow badge]

Ah

@haughty lily is though if they wanted to?

[haughty lily]

can't find one that goes from Sheffield to London on a different route

[willow badge]

East midlands railway does

[haughty lily]

all comes up as via LNER

[severe sky]

Looks like the EMR route is only going to Bedford

[willow badge]

Oh

For fucks sake

[haughty lily]

I think it's cos there's a rail replacement or some bs so it doesn't want you to go that way

[willow badge]

Fuck that then

[severe sky]

Yep

[willow badge]

Fuck you emr

Okay then

[severe sky]

Back to the drawing board

[haughty lily]

coach not an option as gets in to London at 8pm

[severe sky]

At least I’m getting 38 quid back for this ticket now no matter what happens

[willow badge]

XC down to Birmingham new street then Avanti/LNR to London?

[willow badge]

Yeah I did look at that

[severe sky]

Best bet yeah

[willow badge]

That's sort of the only other way you can go

[severe sky]

I’ll look into that

If the midland mainline is shut

[leaden coral]

@willow badge you are a real one for the effort you're putting into this

It's just so lovely to watch ;-;

I wish I could help out too

[haughty lily]

they're moving other London passengers onto our trainn

I think they'll try and force this through

[severe sky]

Okay so I found a dumb connection. I can get an XC to Tamworth and then head down the WCML to Euston. Gets me in half 4

That’s if the line is actually blocked

[haughty lily]

they're moving passengers from a cancelled train to London into this one and think they'll leave and try and get past the blockage

ugh

what to do

[severe sky]

I’d say stay on it. If not then I’ll probably be in York by that time and either you can hop on to mine or we can do the dumb Tamworth route together

[haughty lily]

I see the vision with Tamworth

I'll see what happens with this one for now

[severe sky]

Yeah. And the West Midlands tickets are like £12

[haughty lily]

ughhh

I don't know what to do

[severe sky]

UK trains mannnn

[haughty lily]

fuck

[severe sky]

I think stick with it and hope it moves

[azure parrot]

haii im @willow badge's gf and she's had to go shower and stuff so Im taking over as your temporary transport autism representative for rail traffic control

[haughty lily]

if it hasn't moved before the York to Tamworth train I'll go for that, but stay on here till now

people are still moving onto our train

[severe sky]

Yeah

[wheat lion]

goddamn hope everyone can get in safe, don't we all just love UK trains

[severe sky]

Thank you!!!!

[haughty lily]

2 trains per hour going through the line around the blocked train apparently

fucking hell

[severe sky]

Okay it’s at least something

[azure parrot]

eesh that is a bit mad but makes sense

[leaden coral]

I love this

[azure parrot]

Everything's presumably very literally going around the other train which puts your crossing points to quite limited

[severe sky]

Actual relationship goals

[crystal light]

As someone that works in the rail industry I sympathise

If it doesn't look like you'll be moving in the next hour or so, I'd say fuck it and get a National Express down depending on timescales

[severe sky]

Yeah. I mean I’m ready to bail for that connection to Tamworth

[haughty lily]

idk if I should bet on this train or fuck it and get off for the Tamworth one

[severe sky]

I mean the Tamworth one I found doesn’t leave until 12:41

[haughty lily]

yeah but if this sets off and ends up being late anyway

it's a 50/50

[crystal light]

I recommend Realtimetrains.co.uk to check your train time and any incoming ones

[azure parrot]

yeah RTT is very helpful

[severe sky]

My current train is saying that we’ll get past so I’m catiously optimistic

[azure parrot]

It's hard to really say because the likelihood of much moving anytime soon isn't super high

but if it does move you'd still get there quicker

[haughty lily]

don't think there's ticket acceptance on the York to Tamworth train

[severe sky]

RTT is saying on time for me

[severe sky]

Is there not? Did you ask

If it's XC it'll probably be so busy at this point that the Train Manager might not even bother checking honestly

[haughty lily]

aaaaaghhhh

[azure parrot]

there is a train that appears to have just disappeared on RTT that was going south but I can't tell if that means progression or not

[severe sky]

Fuck it I’m staying on this and hope it goes south

[azure parrot]

Nope cancelled

[severe sky]

Just left Darlington a few minutes ago

[haughty lily]

yeah I think I need to stay on this and hope

it hasn't been cancelled and other passengers were told to use ours, no estimated departure time from York

[azure parrot]

I mean it might be your best bet for now

But id say ditch if it doesn't look like you're going anywhere anytime soon after a while

[stuck carbon]

The delays have just cleared, I've just got to york now and they're allowing all through now to KGX

[severe sky]

Cya in York it seems 🙃

[stuck carbon]

We were going to have to wait here and they'd let everyone off until further notice, but I'd say hold out for now as our driver says all clear (except minor delays)

[haughty lily]

are you on the stopped train at York?

[stuck carbon]

They were going to stop ours there but they've said it's fine as of the last 5 mins

[severe sky]

I’m on the 12:31 in coach H seat 56. My table should hopefully clear up

[stuck carbon]

Just passed through

[haughty lily]

LINE CLEAR

FUCKING YES

[azure parrot]

Wheyyy

[severe sky]

Yesssss

Dubs

[haughty lily]

backlog in Doncaster but will be held for here a while and then leave

10-15 mins held here more and then off

[severe sky]

Feel free to join my train if you would like some company

[azure parrot]

Yaayy

[haughty lily]

are you still on the move?

[foggy panther]

Yippeee!!

[severe sky]

Yea. Just into Northallerton rn so only like 20 mins out

[haughty lily]

AHH I think my train is leaving in 10 and they've said it should be okay from here I think

[severe sky]

Ohh okay. When does yours get in?
