Why are Rail Track doing still doing engineering works on the WCML? I thought it was finished.

Anyway there is the option to fly? BMI do Manchester to Heathrow and then it's a quick hop on the airport express to the Centre of London.
Be warned though.. It's a f*cking scary plane!

£33 & £35 flights

train down friday night, stay at my dads apartment in stains, on the round uxbridge saturday, train back north sat evening.

Lothlorian, if you can get to Euston for 6.00pm there is a train which gets you back in Wigan for 11.13pm changing at Birmingham and Manchester if you miss that the only other option is 20.55 from St Pancrass via Sheffield where you have an 8hr wait getting back in Wigan 10.11am Sunday morn so hope you enjoy it.

Expand?

i dont live in wigan, 2hr train journey direct line home. got my ticket booked for 8pm land home at 1010. cant wait

Sorry but I intended this info for people travelling from Wigan.

How retarded are they to plan Engineering works on a bank holiday? Idiots.

They always plan it because believe it or not that is the best time to do it, however someone should have seen that there is a pretty good chance 2 north west teams will be in the final, but I suppose that would have meant using some common sense.

If we do get to the final we will be staying at my Wifes Dad's house in Northwood which is just a 20 min journey away from Wembley on the Met line.

Train up from the south coast, ticket free as i work for 'em

Why would you want to travel all that way to watch a Warrington v Saints challenge cup final ?

Its a nice touch though that your thinking of travelling down to cheer us on against Saints, fair play.

Are neutrals not allowed at finals now? Or are you and Saints going to find the 40,000 fans each yourselves? [size(I know you were being stupid btw)[/size

Its refreshing to see that their are people on this board with common sense by the bucket load where they have already accepted its going to be a Warrington v Saints final.

Your a very shrewd customer it seems, you may as well make yourself some money while your at it and back us in the semi to cover the cost of you travelling down to support Warrington in the final as a neutral.

Who has already accepted it?

Rob Wire this may be hard to believe but the train line passes through Warrington, so actually it will effect folk from your quaint little town as well!
