Saint_Jim Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 After the chaos of the JPT final. Would it be worth the club sorting out some extra trains for the big day? Also see there is England at Twickenham that day....Waterloo will be busy!
Lord Duckhunter Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 There's going to be chaos if you're coming from the west . Buses replace trains from Bournemouth to Parkway that day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
SKD Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 First train up, last train back to avoid the rush... Well that'll be the excuse I give the missus.
fish fingers Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 It was a similar issues from Christchurch for the JPT final. We ended up driving a hire car one way and getting a train back once the bus replacements had ended.

DJ_TOAST Posted 26 January, 2017 Posted 26 January, 2017 First train up, last train back to avoid the rush... Well that'll be the excuse I give the missus. That won't work, last train back from Arsenal recently for the midweek cup game was over crowded and hundreds of people unable to board the train. This will be even worse. It's annoying as I would prefer to get the train than the boring coach and go for drinks in London after, but I cant see anything other than complete chaos (especially with the Rugby match on top of this)
The Fat Controller Posted 27 January, 2017 Posted 27 January, 2017 You could consider driving upto Oxford Parkway - direct service to Wembley Stadium

mikec Posted 27 January, 2017 Posted 27 January, 2017 You could consider driving upto Oxford Parkway - direct service to Wembley Stadium Or you can get the same line from Gerrard's Cross or Denham (just off the M25). I did this for the JPT final following someone's suggestion on here and it worked out really well. Saves having to drive or tube across London.

The only snag I had was trying to get a railcard ticket by using my bus pass. Soon sorted
LGTL Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 First train up, last train back for us. They're running from Central.
Ken Tone Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denham_railway_station That is all Looks like a good idea, though I see that there is only one train an hour on sundays. What's the parking like at/near the station please? btw ,someone else suggested Oxford parkway, but that's not a direct journey, you have to change at high Wycombe or Marylebone.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 I've spoke to SW trains to ask if they're putting more on. Guess the reply? Big fat no. They did say they would ensure there were enough buses on for people coming from Bmth, Xchurch & New Milton. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ecuk268 Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Thinking of going to Paddington via Reading. Similar price and not much difference in total journey time as Paddington is closer to Wembley.

There is a car park at the station, the usual old coal yard site, but it will fill up quickly. I don't think it's too far to the town and a search on Google Maps or Streetview might prove fruitful. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/stations/DNM/details.html
Dan Posted 28 January, 2017 Posted 28 January, 2017 Direct train on the Hedge End to Waterloo line, I'll be jumping on there.
