LGTL Posted 17 February, 2017 Share Posted 17 February, 2017 £300 for the day. Divided by 7, with a tip roughly £50 each. Whats the train, £40? £25 with a groupsave. Not a bad deal though if it includes a driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchen Posted 17 February, 2017 Share Posted 17 February, 2017 Getting National Express to London Sunday morning and coming back midday Monday. Staying in a four star (or so it claims, but the reviews are good) hotel in Paddington. I love you all but the thought of trying to squeeze onto a train Sunday with loads of drunk Saints fans really didn't appeal so I'm taking advantage of having a day off on Monday. The coach may be slower but you're guaranteed a seat. Total cost, including breakfast Monday, just under £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't believe the quote , I even double checked the price as all the others were 650+. My Boscombe mate reckons the drivers are free lance & they quote against each other, hence the low price. They use them for every away game & we're thinking of doing the same. Trains are way better, but the service is shiete Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrich van Gobbel Posted 20 February, 2017 Share Posted 20 February, 2017 Going to get the train in from Gerrards Cross, only about 20 mins or so journey. Coming back , I don't give a f**k , I'll be w@nkered Similar for me.. getting an early train from High Wycombe to Marylebone then wandering down to Baker Street to meet some mates. Then Met Line back up to Wembley a couple of hours before KO. Monday has been booked off so if we win I could end up anywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkiben Posted 20 February, 2017 Share Posted 20 February, 2017 National express from Southampton to Victoria, getting there at half 10 so all day to drink. £20 for a guaranteed seat (and toilet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 20 February, 2017 Share Posted 20 February, 2017 Got the nipper so driving in. Think I am going to park up somewhere a few stops down the Piccadilly line and tube it to Alperton which is 1½ miles form the ground. I reckon that will be far enough from the stadium that you can actually get on the platform rather than hand about for an hour like at the old Highbury Stadium. Other option might be to get onto one of the overgrounds from Clapham Jct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithd Posted 20 February, 2017 Share Posted 20 February, 2017 been fortunate to get a couple of tickets, most likely traveling official travel from Eastleigh.

Mumbles11 Posted 20 February, 2017 Share Posted 20 February, 2017 People saying the trains are going to be carnage need to realise that for the JPT it was a much earlier KO (1:30pm) and we did take an extra 10,000 fans, so yes I do expect the trains to be rammed but not as bad as what they were for the JPT (I hope).
