Branstonpickle didn't get to be a multi-millionaire by missing a trick.
A mate has offered to drive,but as I have never seen him sober in 15 years I have serious reservations.
Has anyone looked at the possibility of flights?
Might be an idea.

Quick question. How long does it take to get back to Euston after the game.

 

[takeabooson]

been scouting about pal and it recommends that u give it at least 2 hours to get back to euston after the match, im thinking off waiting for the crowds to go and get a taxi back with 5 sharing it should be about 8 quid each max, so ive been told

Aer Lingus flights from Shannon to Heathrow are €150 return.
Something's wrong somewhere.
















Although, I'm not complaining.

Losing a day's holiday isn't such a great plan, though. Not saying I earn a fortune (I don't, trust me!) but it'd be false economy, especially when you factor in the price of a hotel on Sunday night.

I work at Virgin Trains and part of my role is to specify where extra train capacity is required around special events.

On April 14th we are planning on providing the following (subject to the timings we get back from Network Rail):

Additional trains at 08.40 (est) Manchester - Euston (calls Stockport and Macc)
19.31 (est) and 20.31 (est) Euston - Manchester - both call at Macc and Stockport.

Before and after the match all other services have been planned to be 11 coach trains (150 extra seats compared to our 9 coach trains).

The additional trains won't go on sale until we get the confirmed timings back from Network Rail, but keep checking the Virgin Trains website for seat availability.

Think yourself lucky you're not a Wigan fan. They've got no trains back after their semi as the route closes for engineering work after the 20.31 train from Euston on the Saturday.

Excellent. Wish I'd known this before I booked my train tickets, two weeks ago.
