Train to Leamington then another one to the arena. Takes about an hour and a half.

What a way to say you have moved to Stratford-Upon-Avon - like your style

Fortunately, for the good folk of Stratford, I haven't.

I’m really flattered by the offer Clint but please keep your thoughts to yourself.

There's a direct bus from SOA to the centre of Coventry, from where you could walk to the station and get the club shuttle bus. It would definitely take longer than the train but possibly less stressful than attempting to cram yourself onto the arena train

You might actually be quicker getting public transport from Stratford in east London.

Because of the near 40 minutes wait in Leamington.

It only takes 20 minutes from Leamington to get to the turnstiles.

The train to the stadium is always packed leaving Cov station, to the point where not everyone can get on - this train comes from Leamington so should get on OK there. I've always got on it on the way back but it is also packed and so infrequent that if you miss it - a la Ed Balls - it's a right pain.

Might be quicker to get a bus, which is mental. X18 takes about an 1hr 20 mins. Scenic route, innit!

Alas, poor Clint, I knew him Horratio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is!

I said the internet was a mistake. I was wrong.

X18 goes all the way to Stratford from the Transport museum.

Stratford London is on the up. V&A East just opened and Cross Rail has upped it's transport links. All the artists priced out of Hoxton and Shoreditch have moved east, quite a few to Stratford. No longer cheap housing but you get a garden and parking.

Is it too much to ask to have an extra carriage on the Arena train.

I think the platform is part of the issue for safety, although not beyond the realms of man to sort that. Could also put a screen on that opens st the doors like on the underground if numbers on there are also a concern.

All a bard!

Shakespeare walks into the pub and tries to order 2 pints of mead. The barman says 'Get out, you're bard'

Properly sums up the state of British railways that, an hour and a half to do what, 20 miles.

Could probably get from Stratford, East London quicker.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Be Patient for the World Is Broad and Wide ( and change at Leamington)

 

[oscillatewildly]

All the world's a Stagecoach, clint. Just over an hour from Mcdonalds Stratford by the look of it.

 

[Mcbean]

Sadly although Stratford is a tourist hot spot it’s an absolute fucker to get to ! However you try and if it’s in your way to get somewhere the 16th century bridge often crossed by dick Turpin is still
There holding up the traffic !

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

It’s absolutely horrendous. 90 minutes is generous too as most don’t align with leamington train. You can cycle there quicker most the time

 

[Kneeza]

Just cadge a lift with Doug.

The smallest of the platforms is still big enough to accommodate three carriages.
