Coventry - How Are You Getting There?

[blueandwhitearmy]

Got my ticket today and I'm still wondering what to do regarding getting up there, the train is quite expensive and there are rail maintenance works going on, and I was going to drive but then theres petrol money and no drinking etc.

So how are you getting up there?

 

[Uncle Buck]

Train is costing £11 each from Marleybone to Leamington Spa and the £3 to Coventry. There are buses from Banbury to Leamington, but at that price I can live with that.

That's what I'm doing Uncle Buck, but think I'm paying £20 for the privilege

That sounds correct, 4 people can travel for the price of 2.

Nothing worse than being desperate for a slash on a rail replacement bus

Out of interest does anyone know how long the bus is scheduled to take from Nuneaton to Coventry? and if there is an easy way around this using public transport?Can see it beeing a bit of a mare with loadsa Bton waiting for double deckers after the game.

I would have thought that the fact that the bus is included in your ticket price and to use another form of public transport would require paying out more money, would be reason enough just to put up with the replacement bus.

Also only a small minority of Albion fans seem to use the trains.

If you look on National Rail it says the journey has a bus as part of it.

 

[ro's pants]

if your going up from euston to coventry, you don't need to go near nuneaton because its further on

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Way there changing at Croyden then watford to Coventry via bus at Nuneaton, then bus back to rugby and back to Brighton via Watford. £24 with YP card.

I was going to get the train from Southampton but the antional rail website says that's not possible.
