[Football] Trains to Sheffield

[Arkwright]

Just a quick heads up, trains from St Pancras to Sheffield are overcrowded and subject to delays.
Booked on the 9 30 but couldn't get on it now unreserved on the 10.30.

Similar situation in the North. Coming across country from the North East to Sheffield, every other train is cancelled and the others are packed.

Whole reason I used to drive everywhere

Mental. We got so lucky getting 9.30am. It didn’t stop at one station and we waited 29mins at Bedford.

If you have a reservation why didn’t they let you sit in your seat?

We couldn't get near the train let alone get on it.
All reservations have been declassified and the 10 30 was a free for all.
Delay repay is very slow, I think the whole train is claiming.

Kings Cross is closed so anyone wanting Leeds or Doncaster has to go via Sheffield. Sheffield trains are taking longer than normal.

Feel sorry for any Albion fan caught up in this but some of us warned about exactly this on the match ticket thread. It’s why I picked the cup game to travel to and the sofa today.

Shirley it's more predictable than that:-

'Getting a train on a Sunday - no thanks I'd rather walk'.

I picked someone up at Heathrow last Friday and was on the m25 for 6hours....

Our rail network is an embarrassment.

It’s just as bad on the train from Liverpool to Sheffield. All reservations cancelled and the train is absolutely packed

What away games haven't been screwed by the trains this season?

 

[dstanman]

Just hope all those travelling to the game by train manage to get there on time

I bet they don't now they've seen that abomination of a team.
