Not _BIG_ in terms of US shows like GenCon, but a decent-sized show for
the UK. I'd guess around 5-600 paying punters, 30+ traders and 20+
games.

Yes. There are always plenty of good participation games, more than you
could play in a day.

I think Paul covered this one as far as the train goes. Newark is
probably 2 1/2 hours from London by car (I'm around 30 miles SE of
London and allow 3 hours for the journey - plus a breakfast stop, of
course !).
