Yet again an army of Conservative activists came together over the weekend to spread the Conservative message to Croydon, hopefully we used 'long term economic plan' enough to please Mr Crosby. 105 Tory activists went to help Gavin Barwell in Croydon Central with the promise of a free bar, free curry and a great party atmosphere. This time however it was for the new sister organisation of RoadTrip2015, Tube Trip.
Tube Trip is designed to get those London CFers who dare not leave zone 1 out and about helping in marginal seats across the capital. So everyone got prepared for the train journey.

We then went back for our first break with biscuits and nice cooling coke, it was very hot. It was at this point we were joined by the Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling. So of course there were selfies galore.
Great to see Chris Grayling at today's @TubeTrip2015 canvassing in Croydon! #TubeTrip2015 pic.twitter.com/W3KcyKVCZV

After some light refreshments we got the all important picture to scare the Lefties.
Then Chris Grayling gave a speech, thank god he allowed us to go into the shade.

Getting my suntan on in Croydon, campaigning for @GavinBarwellMP with @TubeTrip2015. Ok, sunburn, but still totally worth it. #TubeTrip2015

And so to the free bar, free curry and partying afterwards.
Nothing beats a #TubeTrip2015 for the nightlife #Croydon

But there was one last score to settle. Yes Mr Hoffman, Sam Armstrong is now the only person to have gone on all the Road Trips. Sam is king.
Congrats to @SamWArmstrong: the last man standing thats gone to all 8 @RoadTrip2015 campaign days so far. #winning pic.twitter.com/qWHxoHV2T2

Oliver Cooper found out that Labour had a great response to RoadTrip2015 as well.
Wow... RT @RichardAngell: "300+ people at #LabNPF in the marginal of MK South (and we finish early) and [just] 6 people go campaigning."
— Oliver Cooper (@OliverCooper) July 21, 2014
I really enjoy RoadTrips. I very much look forward to them every time. I must thank the Tube Trip team a lot, especially Luke Springthorpe who was the head honcho of the night. I hope you come join us next time wherever we go.
