Fan's train to Cardiff

[Lady Bracknell]

Leaves at 7.30am from Hove is all I know for certain.

Any details about what time the train leaves Brighton?? And where it stops??

It is quite probably heading for Wembley given the shambolic organisation so far today

Half seven from hove then. Cheers Roz.
Its bound to stop along the usual Preston park, hassocks, burgess hill, wivelsfield, Haywards Heath etc.
Oh well, will find out tomorrow.

I very much doubt it - Cardiff is the other way

Crap

 

[Donny Osmond]

I'm getting the normal train.
Only takes 3 1/2 hours on the way back to Tun Wells

£27.50 is a good deal. Congrats are in order. I think when/if I get a ticket, this seems a good bet. Might get a full car which would out a little bit cheaper.

Four or five hours?

I have done the trip before on the old sprinter trains which for that long are a bit uncomfortable.

Had a half idea to drive to Swansea and take the train the rest of the way. Takes an hour from Swansea which is a long time and probably expensive.

If it stopped at Southampton I'd get it.

As someone posted on another thread a couple of days ago, the same alcohol ban on trains to Cardiff applies to all trains (not just charter trains) running on the three days of the playoffs.

Train goes Hove then worthing - so it's going coastline, up through Salisbury, Bath, and then across via Bristol Temple Meads!

If it's any help my two train tickets were numbers 200 and 201 respectively.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Just been to Withdean and there were a still a couple of piles of tickets left.

Is this definite?

Do you think it will be strictly enforced?

I did try to tell him - hope he knows where to go

Yes it will - Byelaw and you may well have British Transport Police travelling with you to enforce the rule.

However a hip-flask might come in handy

I guaruntee BTP will be in attendance.

I am sure there will be a Police presence but I very much doubt they are going to strip seach everyone for alcohol.

I just wondered how strictly they will enforce it.

I remember having to put 8 beers into Burger King cups on the way to Colchester once.

You will be arrested if you drink - simple as that.

Is Stavros running the train as he did in the glory days of the Seagull Special ?
