So far down Shoreham Beach, I am virtually back in

4 of us just booked. On the train for us. Was amazed that the Virgin train only took 40 mins longer than it took to take us to Brum last week.

A new ground for me.

Who's going? Should we take 1000 to this?

Balls - just realised this is a Southern Strike day.....

I would be travelling from Shoreham but can get to Brighton. Will the GEX or the other brand get me to London that day if the strike isn't called off

Getting my appologies in early. Don't think I'd have gone to this game but MK Dons and PNE gave me a two week window to get a holiday in. I'll be listening in the sunshine. Last chance as I've every intention of getting to every away & home game after this.

What's the nearest station to Shoreham I can grab a south eastern line train on?

Get bus into Brighton from Shoreham, 2a or 700 then Thameslink train from Brighton to London Bridge, underground from London Bridge to Euston

Thanks. Will Thameslink be unaffected?

Also, don't Thamelines go to Kings X ? If so, I think I can walk to Euston form there is 10.

I'd be happy to drive to Brighton. I would need to drive to Shoreham anyhow so no biggy......

Did Preston last season and have arranged for a weekend with the in-laws in Manchester that weekend.

I just hope it isn't as dire as last seasons visit, or Cardiff this season.

It's the Glasgow train isn't it? Usually pretty fast. 1200 last year from memory.

Drive to Hassocks, park for £1.90. Thameslink to St.P. Walk to Euston (c10mins).
