Very Good Train Offer For Liverpool

[Tomnorthi]

Be prepared to stand on London Midland. I travelled to Birmingham away and stood for 90% of the journey.

As long as you get there 15-30 minutes before the departure time, you can be the first on the train and get a seat.

I was there about 20 mins before but they only had 3 carriage trains was mental.

Seems strange that the trains take well over double the time it takes from Manchester Piccadilly to London Euston (just over two hours) and it's the same distance.

Edit: Ah! Because they're cheap trains tickets I suppose.

Thats because they are London Midland trains. Virgin take just over 2 hours.

Anyone know very roughly how this compares to Seagulls Travel? I mean it'll probably be about another £15 to get from Brighton to London to take advantage of the offer, so come in at £30. Never used the club travel before as my Dad has driven us both to away games, but he doesn't fancy that all the way to Liverpool. Is it a good experience going on the coaches?

Seagulls travel always charge a bomb for coach travel.

The London Midland website has journeys running at just over 2 hours?

Last train back to London is 19:48 on a saturday.
Can get vouchers for both the saturday and sunday as you dont have to pay until the day.
£15 return from London to Liverpool takes about 3 and a half hours, very good deal, will sell out fast now though
All of you who use this though get there early as there is bound to be a big queue at the ticket office on the day.

What happens if it`s a late kick off for tv eg 5.15 kick off??

Is there time to get this last Train?

But 18,000 trying to get 5,000 tickets. Any ideas on allocations.

Its not though, is it? If we had an unlimited allocation, would we take 18,000 to an away game in Liverpool? Of course we wouldn't. There are probably about 7000 / 8000 that would like to go, and of those probably about 5000 / 6000 will actually be organised enough to sort out a ticket.

Agree ...anyone that wants one will get one as long as we get our full allocation

12.45 Sat is my pred, same as yesterday

 

[halbpro]

Decided to get these for the Saturday and the Sunday, doesn't seem worth it for the Friday as the game would only just be kicking off as the last train you could get leaves. Really surprised that they'll let me use my railcard with the offer, makes it super cheap! Even got the first class variants in case I'm feeling like making a proper day of it.

Hopefully kickoff times will make these vouchers usable! Suppose there's no loss if not though.

So when do you think Everton will play?.

Must be sure of a Saturday after having to play last Friday night.

 

[Timbo]

Before I print off too many of these, are you sure I'm not liable for any I dont collect?!

Doesn't seem so. They don't ask you for any card details or anything like that. They do want your address, but seems it's only for marketing purposes. Terms and conditions say you only need to pay on the day. I would imagine the only reason they make you register is really to collect marketing data, and probably a little to make sure they don't get too many disappointed people turning up to buy cheap tickets.

Their site also shows virgin services. Those trains do not qualify for this deal.

It's only a tenner more on the offer. Hell with my railcard it's only £16.25, and given it's a long journey seems like it might be worth the extra expense. Yeah, probably miss out on singing if there are other Brighton fans on the train, but on the plus side might get a seat for the whole journey. Hell if I do end up paying for first class I best f***ing get a seat.
