Just on my way to London on the train and there is a notice up on Wigan North Western station NO trains from Wigan on 27th & 28th August as the west coast mainline is closed between Crewe and Preston. If you are planning to go down Saturday come back Sunday you need to check with Virgin as it looks like it's bus to/ from Crewe.... Lovely They couldn't have picked a worse weekend.

Hopefully there will be 30000 Wiganers very annoyed about this come Saturday about 6pm. I was going to post this on the Wire board, the I thought...... why?

Clueless decision, regardless of who wins on Saturday. I've done the train twice on cup final weekends and they were overflowing both times.

You can get trains via Manchester Piccadilly though.

One of the fortunate things about being the wrong side of the Pennines is a lovely quick train from Chesterfield to St. Pancras. icon_wink.gif

Shame it costs a bloody fortune. icon_evil.gif

The trains that run to Wembley Stadium station use the Chiltern line and run from Birmingham Snow Hill into London Marylebone.

yep the certainly did special trains in 2004, I was heavily pregnant so chose this as the better option for loos etc. I pre booked seats only to find eight widnes fans sat in them. I politely asked them to move and they laughed at me and swore. So off I went for the guard who also laughed at me. So i went back, knocked all their cans of ale on the floor and perched myself on the table. Eventually after me being a pain in the derriere, one of the guys (who was a police officer) got up and gave me his seat. My kids laid on the floor all the way to cardiff

Flying Edinburgh to London £54 return and that includes an all day london Transport train / Tube pass . Even on Easy-Jet you are guarenteed a seat (you might have to fight for it ) on Virgin trains or the like you are guarenteed nowt at twice the price and more , even if you have pre booked seats as LLL has pointed out .
