Aston Villa trains

Chaps (If you have taken advantage of pre booked tickets no need to reply)

Those who are not able to take advantage now of advanced rail tickets might want to know that if you travel via kensington olympia it is 41.90 return as opposed to almost 60 quid via euston. (this is from brighton)

for those travelling in groups (say of 4) a southern daysaver ticket is 20 pounds
and could be used from say littlehampton or eastbourne to get to clapham.

a return from clapham to witton via kensington olympia is 32.90

so effectively a group of 4 travelling from mainline sussex destinations would pay no more than 38 quid an individual no more than 42 quid

dont pay more than you need to!

virgin trains are about 7 quid each way from euston to birm new st at moment

 

[Barca.1999]

£7 if you get the 7.43 from Euston to brum so doubt anyone getting that from btn and £20 return !!!

Got a better one,

£20 for 3 or 4 people to travel to WATFORD JUNCTION on Southern Groupsave, then you need a London Midland DAYSAVE to get you from Watford to Birmingham New Street [£48 for 3 people] restrictions are Southern or London Midland trains, obviously, but gets you there for under £25 each.

Witton is a couple of quid from Brum New Street, and after the game there is usually a few trains backed up in the station so should make the 17.33 or 17.53 trains [the 17.53 and later, you need to change at Northampton, so make sure you pack some beers.]

Beware though, i think some people are thinking that because watford junction and milton keynes are in the network card region they are covered by the southern group save! the line between clapham and watford is run by south west trains a group save will only get you to clapham
