FA Cup Final 2024 | Manchester Derby | Sat 25 May 3:00pm

If I remember rightly, which I probably don’t, the charter train that someone put on for the final last year, couldn’t use Wembley Stadium station for logistic reasons. I think it still ran from/ to Euston. Which is doing away with pretty much the only advantage of catching a special, if you’ve still got to fuck about getting to the ground and back.

Another big advantage would be no rags on board though

Still off topic, Skiathos is a Gay Friendly Isle as I’m sure you know. My mate was there with his wife a few years ago, he was sat on his veranda and his “neighbour’s” 2 gay guys were bang at it to the extent he had to go for a walk.

He came back and the two lads were sat on their veranda having a drink, one of them said “Hi Dave, have you had a good morning?”

My mate replied “yep, not bad but not as good as yours”!

For the record I'm going again this summer with my wife !

Fuck me, I went on Avanti Pendolino last Saturday and it cost me £51, including the return journey on Sunday afternoon.
They must have employed Casey Jones driving The Cannonball Express to justify those prices.

Wow pricey! City's prices not your £51.

Might have been a decent option last year when they had no competition. But £130 on a specific train V A maximum of £109 for a flexible return. Doesn’t seem quite so attractive.

When you hear
The tootin' of the whistle
It's Casey at the throttle of the Cannonball express

(All together now)
Cases Jones
A steamin' and a rollin'
Cases Jo....... oh don't bother then, miserable sods.

Not too enticing to anyone with a railcard, I'd already booked an off-peak return from Preston for £76. That's a hefty mark-up for rag-free travel.
