British Rail ? There hasnt been a British Rail company since the 80's ?

 

[bottyblade]

Try getting to London with French rail or Italian rail or German rail then. This is Britain, whatever our rail company happens to be called there are still no direct trains on 24th May !!!!

It might be worth having a look at this thread on 'Matchday info':

IF, (yes I know) we get to the final just a heads up.

Engineering works at Bedford so those travelling south on EMR will get off at Bedford and onto a bus to Hitchin railway and back on to St Pancras. If you are coming from Sheff then you should be OK going to Doncaster and then down but from Chesterfield downwards you will have to keep an eye on things.

You can't even call things British without getting locked up these days.

Yup I've looked at that every one has at least one change cheapest return around £80-85 most being Northern Rail/LNER or Northern/Hull trains, one of the return journeys departs from Euston, Thames/Cross country I presume change at Birmingham, typical of Sheffield to have the crappiest route to London in the whole country. Be easier for me to go from Retford with LNER

The trouble is most will more than likely be full of Sunderland fans unless you can get on one of the Hull trains.

Both Sunderland and us have to negotiate a 2nd leg, the trains possibly could be empty.

 

[Ranmoorblade]

Megabus from Sheffield to London return is £15. It’s an early start and late getting home but probably cheapest unless driving.

 

[raul]

Sheff to Wakefield Kirkgate, catch one of the two Grand Central Bfd to KGX trains.

Likewise Sheff to Wakefield Westgate and get one of the Harrogate to London trains.

[BadgersBigToe]

Don’t forget last train back is also 8.30pm…..that’ll be fun if it’s a 5.00/5.30pm KO

Does that price include good old Jimmy chomping you off on route?

Silly me, I'm late 40s so about 40 years too old for his tastes.

Should an interesting journey from Newcastle, much as I dislike Coventry the could do me a favour.

Actually you can get around the UK on French and German rail and to London !!!
"we" havent had a "rail company" for decades it was sold off.

German state railway Deutsche Bahn operates four British railways including the London overground and the Grand Central line to Sunderland. Seven UK railways are operated or partly-operated by Dutch state railway Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), including Merseyrail, Scotrail and the West Midlands Railway. Seven railways are operated fully or partly by French state railway SNCF, including Transport for Wales and the Thameslink.

If you don’t get your reserved seat keep your ticket and contact the train company.

In many cases you might get a partial refund or voucher discount for future travel
