Trains after Boro

[Pantani]

Now I have seen an awful lot of people saying *IF* we win we will need to "get out of Dodge" as fast as possible.

Can anyone assure me that we will not have 1500 Albion fans trying to get on one of these:



Because every time I have been to Middlesbrough this is all there is, twice an hour, at 21 minutes and 55 minutes past the hour. Plus one Transpennine Express that is also two carriages, at 28 minutes past the hour.

Get the **** out of Dodge? Or more likely stand around for a long time waiting for a train...

So many fans will experience the thrill of pacer travel for the first time!

 

[Bigtomfu]

Nothing wrong with a bus on a train track.

The Transpenine express goes all the way to Manchester Airport, so I'm fairly sure that it's a decent size 6 carriage job.

I have faith that the local police will do their best to make sure that we're on our way as soon as possible after the game.

Unlikely, it is normally one of these bad boys.



They may join two together to make it a four carriage train if we are really lucky.

trans pen is always a 3 carriage set.
Old pacers are normally 2 carriages as we have to put up with every match.

Do they ever organise special trains to get fans away?

My wife was chuffed that we had "booked seats", I haven't yet broached the reality of that statement with her.

I'm ok I've got BG as my body guard PPF was unavailable

 

[Luke93]

Do they still have trains with wooden seats?

Even the wheels are wooden.

 

[Gazwag]

We have Coach: B Seats: 44 , 40 booked on the 15.28 so there will be 2 carriages

No, i don't think they ever have.

 

[nwgull]

No, i don't think they ever have.

Could be fun trying to all get on that first train down to York then!

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Is the train from York to London a nice big spacious one like the virgin and the like?

 

[Official Old Man]

I've never met a big spacious Virgin.

 

[thornabyred]

No, i don't think they ever have.

Boro fans have been moaning at Northern rail for years about how many have to cram into the first trains after a game, they openly admitted they dont have spare units and if they had to put extra on then someone else would have train cancelled.
I would imagine the first transpen to York will be packed though it will be 3 carriages.

 

[The Oldman]

Although we will not be back in Sussex until 10 or 11 pm I am rather glad I am on Seagull coach.
