The 9pm train

[bluemooncas]

3 of us booked on with unreserved seats,
its gona be busy this train,
Think there gona be some fun getting on,
but what the hell its an adventure whatever happens happens
Will take the credit card just in case,
Was going to book the megabus for a fiver for a back up which goes at 11.30
but noticed yesterday the price has gone up to £24,
we seem to be getting stuffed at every angle on this one,.

Supply and demand,as soon as people start enquiring and booking modes of transport up,so the price goes up too.

I am suprised some coach operators haven't jumped on the bandwaggon and started laying on extra coaches.It looks like i will be travelling from Kent as i am getting time off work and i have to go back,otherwise for me a coach would be a no brainer as although slower you are going to get back and can jump on right outside the ground.

2 of us on this train, also have a megabus for £5 as insurance so not too bothered if i miss it.

pretty sure if train is rammed, which it will be, reservations are out of the window

That's what I'm thinkin

3 of us booked those Travelcard tickets but while we have reserved seats going down, it wouldn't let us reserve them coming back on the 9pm so I'm assuming all reserved seats on that train had been sold at that point.

Would they really sell more advance tickets - both reserved and unreserved - than the actual capacity of the train? I appreciate that there is going to be a mad scramble for this train but I wasn't anticipating a scenario where we get there in time but can't get on it due to it being full!

But I thought if u bought a day travel card it allows u to get on any train so everyone with one of those will be tryin to get on the 9pm cos it's not really possible to get an earlier one

Yeah, the conditions of the day travelcard are that reservations are only needed on the way down. Coming back I think the blurb states that reservations may be advisable but not compulsory so does that mean somebody in possession of a day travelcard would theoretically be able to argue that they've as much right to be on that train home as anyone else?

Wembley to Euston is 9 or 10 miles. For a taxi to be feasible I guess you'd have to beat the main body of fans and traffic coming out of the ground and flag one down. Even then you'll have the normal traffic to contend with and we all know that London traffic is busy at pretty much any time. I reckon you'd be lucky to get to Euston within half an hour even if you're not mixed in with the Wembley traffic.
