Scandalous. I envisaged these sort of problems which is why I'm going g by coach but I thought it would be the West Coast mainline where issues were not Chiltern.
Re: your other post, 10 cancellation fee, someone should be jailed if they don't waiver that for people cancelling.

Anyone know how busy Cov station’s looking?

Contemplating blagging a lift to International and jumping on there to try and beat the stampede at Cov.

Parkway already rammed according to Twitter. Part of me wonders if this is just the initial early rush and it will die down a bit, wouldn't bank on it though.

Just setting off from deepest Devon - all quiet down here unsurprisingly. Good luck with the trip today folks, I hope it doesn’t become a massive shitshow

So they have sold shit loads more tickets than they have space on trains?

and still on sale as they claim its impossible to stop selling tickets. surely if you have a certain number of tickets then once sales reach that number you stop selling them, not a difficult concept

If you are willing to drive to Oxford Parkway the train comes from Oxford rather than Birmingham so in theory should have more space

There were 4 teams in the play offs, surely you make a contingency plan in case a team whose support uses your line gets through?

Many people switched because they thought Coventry would be rammed?

Lemming theory, everybody decides it'll be quieter from there, so making it busier!

We got 9.46 from Warwick. Rammed. Not everyone could get on at Banbury or Bicester. They announced they weren't stopping at all at High Wycombe. We're about 25 away now.

Chiltern not covering themselves in glory. As they issued a "Do Not Travel Alert", they can shrug their shoulders and say - or tweet, at least - 'nothing to do with us'.
