Birmingham TRAVEL thread

[Baron Pepperpot]

Those going via Arun Valley, it is a great start. DELAYS of up to 45 minutes due to a broken down train at Horsham.
Remember, you can use Virgin tickets on any train out of London now.

Lets hope it turns out to be worth it.

Gets better, currently 30 minute delays on the West Coast line at Bletchley too because of a signalling problem. Least i have a much better excuse to travel earlier now.

 

[Train Spotter]

Could always use Chiltern Trains from Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street.

 

[Beach Hut]

Oh great, will still aim for the train we were hoping to get

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

To travel, or not to travel. f*** it, Im going to travel !

No snow overnight in BN43 but the travelling may be a challenge

No snow up here over night in the EAST Midlands.

It's the annoyance factor of getting out of my warm bed and then discovering the game's off...I'll feel robbed if it is

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Uneventful journey thus far between Southampton and London, although SWT seem to have built 5 minutes into every stop. Should be at Euston within the hour.

Slower but got to London only 10 mins late in the end , up the arun valley

Conductor was ranting and raving about it , no power , delays but we just sailed through .

 

[Muzzatron]

Just left shoreham to Lon Vic via Littlehampton, spoke to the guard and he said no delays.. Just need the small matter of the game to be on...

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Been allowed to go on an earlier train by the conductor at Eastbourne !!

Also bad news, signalling problems at Three Bridges now.

 

[Conkers]

40 minute delays at Three Bridges due to signalling problems

Waiting for the green light at withdean stadium on the convoy of coaches
It feels a bit like the Normandy beach landings waiting in the English channel for the all clear
