Fingers crossed, will get to Swansea at 3 so shouldn't miss much

Follow signs for taxi rank 5 min journey £4.50 no brainer

You do realise your train is terminating at Bristol TM and virtually no chance of getting to Swansea for 5 let alone 3

It carried on to Cardiff as the scheduled one an hour after

Anyway, only missed a couple of mins. There were a couple of other fans as well so all jumped in a taxi

Not too bad then, felt the worst for you

Cardiff to Southampton trains are cancelled so I'll be staying on until London now

Being held at Newport. Signal problem. **** sake.

That is the route I thought Gatwick to Reading via Guildford

I use the Gatwick/Reading service from time to time,the only drawback is it only runs once an hour

 

[Petee]

Now running 45 mins late with only Reading and Paddington to go. Nearly 2 hours of delays so far. Thank god I don't pay for this!

And the cherry on the top is the London to Lancing train is currently 27 mins late and no one knows why. So that's nearly 2 1/2 hours of train delays today. Amazing.

Some GOON pulled the emergency cord on 2 separate occasions on the service in front.

It was driver-only so guess who had to park up twice and check on things ?

Why did you chose that route was it the cheapest? I do not use trains very much but would have thought Gatwick to Reading would have been quicker then west from there. Eldest son has gone withn his mates but not sure which route as they come from Lancing and Portslade.

My lad left lancing with mates,picked up mote mates at Portslade and fratton,was in swansea by 12,via Newport, coming home went via reading

Genuinely considering this mode of transport for Man Utd

Was on that train, it was someone pushing the alarm button in the toilet.

The driver was not happy....
