not so good if it gets switched to sunday though

 

[BHAboi]

whenever i look on trainline the connecting train always leaves the same time as the one before arrives so will miss it, does enyone know if u can choose the time of the connecting train or something?

 

[empire]

thats was from southern train line,virgin have good prices too

 

[empire]

not so good if it gets switched to sunday though

if they change it to a sunday,i wont be going

 

[empire]

looking at insiders reply to somone, might be a few days,pretty sure most prices will be double by then

Is that when there's a tube journey involved? That's because train websites give shit timings when it comes to tubes. Also, if you're booking an advance journey (in most cases) the only train you HAVE to get is one where seats are reserved. Which would be London to Birmingham, in this case. . . .

Also Empire, do your train tickets to Witton, same price, closer to the away end. If you want, of course.

 

[Notters]

Only 2 miles from New Street so I shall be walking it.

With southern if i book advance i can do it from worthing to aston for 22 quid!! Top notch......but will wait till i have guaranteed ticket for the match!

cheers for the advise,i know witton is nearer,but only 2 trains a hour to there from new street,but going to aston there is 10 a hour

They do Football Specials on the day - direct ones to Witton - takes 10 minutes. Plus, even if you do get your tickets to Witton, you can still get off at Aston, if you want..

 

[empire]

im not worried bout a match tik,i get one whatever,rather get the train sorted as it will be double or more by sat

 

[simon195]

if you go from gatwick, you dont have to bother with tubes... gat-reading.. reading to birmingham new st.. birmingham new st-aston

Nah. Walk from Witton and get a bit lost in the terraced streets near the ground. A classic way to approach a football stadium.

It used to be like that from Aston station as well, but most of the old streets have gone.

 

[westsussexseagulls]

If you can get 4 of you to travel then I would have thought you can get a group save deal to London for £5 each, then whatever the fare from Euston to Aston or New Street - Seem to recall someone saying this is £7? if this is correct then £12 is very good value!

I will be travelling up from Worthing so if anyone does have any other suggestions then more than welcome! be nice to travel with a load more Albion on train!

Really don't know whether to get these tickets or wait to see if the game is going to be moved or not. The train from London is £26 or £19 (if you go a crap route) at full price so it seems a bit pointless, it's ust that £10 is so cheap it seems rude not to bu them anyway!

are these £10 ones direct from Brighton to Birmingham mate and when would you have to purchase them by?

If you don't know Brum,please don't, unless mob-handed,crossing some less salubrious areas.Trains from New Street to Aston/Witton can be rammed & un-reliable.Far better to walk from New Street,via Pallisades Shopping Centre (escalator opposite ticket collectors),to top of Corporation Street.Get a return day-saver ticket to Aston station,£3.30,service 65 or 67.This runs for the most part on dual-carriageway every 5-8 minutes.Couple of reasonable pubs on the way,although the Square Peg smells a bit(Wetherspoons)

 

[1066gull]

I have NO IDEA where all these cheap offers are coming from

A standard ticket normally costs 50 quid to Birmingham ... Hastings or Polegate

having said that, if anyone can get hold of a group discount and wants to travel in a group from Eastbourne/Polegate let me know....

 

[kevo]

No need to wait till 18.04 to get a train from Aston to New Street - they are every 10 mins or so, and it's very close to the stadium.
