AARRGHH!! I'm such an idiot!

There's this 'event' going on in the UK at the moment where you can finally download the rare Pokemon Mew onto a Game Boy Advance cartridge.

ok the toys'r'us is on botley road and its certainly tricycable from the railway station
basically turn right out of the train station and ride down the botley road and it on the right hand side, past the pc world, and past the curry's, you will see it large as life from the road way. I'm afraid my car will be heading towards swindon in the morning but we could/should be back by early afternoon i think

if you look at this hybrid map the train station is on the far right (you'll arrive on platform 2 on the left side of the station in the map) and the toys'r'us is on the far left of the map. its the last warehouse with a white top on the bottom half of the map before you get to the warehouse with the blue roof.
I hope that helps

sorry the map above is slightly wrong its pointing at the comet/argos building which is next to toy'r'us. The walk distance as it says is just over a mile.

apparently we are due to be in swindon by 2pm tomorrow so we are free in oxford until about midday, if you can get here by say 11 am ish?

that will get you into oxford by about 20 past 11 which will should give us enough time to get you to toy'r'us before we have to head off to swindon and we can put you back on a train to new malden
does that help ?

Trainline links get deleted after a few hours.. possibly, after a few minutes, so I couldn't see what you were linking to. But I do know the likelihood of me being on a train at 8.55am is nil. I don't function at that time of day, and travelling before 9.30am is too expensive for something not actually very important. We're getting the train at 9.21am on Friday to catch the Eurostar, and that will involve a great deal of personal effort
