When I returned from Wembley on a Wigan train from Manchester Piccadilly I was literally surrounded by female cleavage. It was a treat. 
They seriously should put more trains on though. |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

They won't put more trains on, the best we can hope for is more carriages on each train.

When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

The good news - it has to stop
The bad news - they may not open the doors if it's already full.
You'll be ok as there are more than enough trains going through as people will be travelling at various times during the day, the problem will be getting back as everyone tries to get on the same train. |

[train rant] In my (considerable) experience, it will stop, someone sat down halfway along the carriage will decide it's their destination and there will then be an interesting few minutes whereby someone has to hold the doors open whilst said person becomes intimate with everyone else as they battle their way, usually with a good few Primark bags, through. If you're into groping and unwelcome flesh contact, it'll be just up your street.
Other than that, yes it will stop and if it's full it'll just stay there for a minute or two to tease you when you blatantly can't get on (don't believe this though, you can always find a way!), the guard will get angry with everyone who isn't moving down and then it'll shut the doors and be on its way. To be honest you might as well get a train from Hindley to Wigan, get on at Wallgate and then go back. Or get a 12-seater 'Disco Jeep'. [/train rant] |

Does anyone know how much a taxi from M'cr to the centre of Wigan would cost? Also would it be better booking with a M'cr firm or Wigan for the return journey? Cheers.

I've known it to be anything from £40 - £70. No idea re. booking though, probably as broad as it is long. |

its the train companies responsibility to get you home.
if you have a return ticket then the MUST get you home.
if the trains are full its the companies fault for not putting more carriages on...........
when this happens, the train company must get you home by taxi.
dont be fobbed off.
