just for information, A mate of mine at FC United looked into chartering a train for last seasons match, he was quoted about £25,000 all in, the capacity was about 550, so that works out at about £45 a head, I don't really know any more details than that i'm afraid
some people saying you can, some people saying you can't get a train back, (to the seaside?) that night.
anyone fancy saving me half an hour looking at train websites and elaborating?
You can get a train back, there's a Virgin train to London at 19:48 that gets you in at 22:27 which should be just enough time to make trains back to the coast. However, you can't use the cheap London Midlands fair which is £15 return from London, the Virgin train is more like £70.

On london midland website they say they have a train leaving Liverpool at 1948
Liverpool Lime Street. I believe it's about 25 minutes on the bus from Anfield with extra buses on match days.

Flaming trains, I know they're always late but 64 years!!!
They list all trains, I'm 99% certain (having checked a few times) that's a Virgin train.

Last train times from London on the Sunday -
Gatwick, Three Bridges, Haywards Heath and Brighton - 01.00 from London Victoria
Lewes and Eastbourne - 22.47 from London Victoria
Littlehampton - 21.47 from London Victoria (Bus to/from Angmering)
Burgess Hill, Hove, Shoreham and Worthing - 23.17 from London Victoria
Horsham via Redhill and Crawley - 23.02 from London Victoria
Virgin trains from Liverpool leave at 48 mins past the hour and generally take just over 2 and a half hours to get to Euston. Hope that helps. If a train did actually happen to be chartered, i would probably use that, if not then id just use the coach.
