Last 5 Away games by Train

[DoDTS]

After this Fridays match At Cheltenham, we’ve just five more away games left (all afternoon kick offs) and it looks like another season of going to the wire, so I’ve been looking into the train arrangements for these five games and thought it might be of interest to others.

The following is what I’ve found if you can find cheaper please let me know, I’ve suggested certain trains other trains may be dearer

Although the fares aren’t exactly Bargains as all seasoned rail travellers know, get in early for the cheaper tickets, prices will only go up.

All prices and times are from Londone from

Saturday 15 March 2008 HUDDERSFIELD Cheapest price £33.85 return from London
8.10 from Kings Cross (later trains more expensive) via Wakefield arrive 11.04
17.33 from Hudd arrives Kings Cross 20.36

Monday 24 March 2008 SWINDON Cheapest price £37.00 return from London
Bank Holiday Monday no cheap fares standard return so any train, about an hour from Paddington.

Saturday 5 April 2008 CREWE Cheapest price £27.00 return from London
Cheapest fare is on the 10.38 Euston gets into Crewe 13.23 if you want earlier trains it will cost £33.50
Return Crewe 17.31 Eston 20.03

Saturday 15 March 2008 CARLISLE Cheapest price £31.40 return from London
8.10 from Kings Cross via Leeds arrives Carlisle 13.29
Leave Carlisle 17.20 (think that’s doable from memory?) via Newcastle arrives Kings Cross 22.17

Saturday 15 March 2008 TRANMERE Cheapest price £28.00 return from London
I’ve not been to Tranmere by train before but train to Birkenhead I presume/
Trains out at 8.17 or 9.17 or 10.17 takes about 3 and a half hours
Retun 17.49 or 18.19 from Birkenhead


Swindon looks expensive, Tranmere and Carlisle don’t seem too bad, hope this helps.

Wow.. what a choice on saturday 15th march.. at least 3 away games to choose from! I hope we have enough players.

Leave Carlisle 17.20 (think that’s doable from memory?)

Only if they don't lock us in at the end for "our own safety" like they did last time we played (& won :D) there! Didn't get let out until 5 past 5!

Station is about 5 minutes in a taxi (if you can find one), 20-25 mins walk from ground.

I was doing all 3, but have done a deal with the Mrs to forego Tranmere to now get to Port Vale for last (maybe not, playoffs permitting) home game!

If Walsall can win 3-0 at Swindon, I fancy we can do similar (maybe not the clean-sheet :p)

That is a tough run in no doubt about it! People are talking about promotion still being a possibility, which it is, but there are no easy games there!

Add to that Forest, Wallsall and Swansea at home aswell!

Monday 24 March 2008 SWINDON .... yesterday in the Pub we where talking about driving there... 3rd away game of the season far for me will be fun esp if we are still in the mix

Happy Days

OK OK OK I c*cked up

you know the dates I'm sure.

The dangers of copying over headings I supose, at least it gave you all a laugh.

 

[EnglandShrimper]

Dad of DS. Where did you find the Carlisle details?

 

[Vange Shrimper]

Can get my train from Padds for £24 return for the Swindon game. I seriously want to do that now!

 

[DoDTS]

From the following:

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/

I looked first at the 9.05 but that worked out at £43.20 getting the 8.10 it costs £12.35 one way £21.50 the other total £33.50

Please don't or you will jinx us.
See, you didn't go to Huish & look what happens, a 3-0 victory!
Personally, I think you should be banned for the rest of the season away from home (or at least until playoffs are secured!!!) :p

VAAAAAAAANNNNGGGGGEEEEE Out! :hilarious:

[jrwshrimper]

sorry to be difficult, anyone know roughly how much they would cost for a child.:D

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

I am going Swindon, what an expensive train journey though!! Dont really want to drive, so thats a bit concerning!!

Just a word of caution for those travelling by train to Swindon. there are major engineering works that weekend (it is easter monday) so be sure to leave enough time. Dont think there are any trains on Liverpool street line at all
