Who’s coming from outside of Coventry.

I will be getting the train from Basingstoke what will be packed with Exeter fans. Luckily me ?!

Anyone else traveling from the south ?

Travelling from Coventry, but I live mainly in Luton, so I will park at Luton Airport Parkway station, take the Thameslink to West Hampstead, then Jubilee line tube to Wembley. Did the same for Checkatrade final and it was so easy

I need to do that too, though it's going to be incredibly tight as my flight back from Portugal lands at 12.55pm...

I'm on the Newark-Kings Cross train, might be able to get a lift to/from Newark from Mrs Oucho, who is not joining us for the Wembley game ("I don't see what the big deal is, you saw them play in Coventry last Saturday and in Nottingham on Friday...")

In North Wales on family holiday. Travelling from Bangor Station, it's the party train to Euston. Hope I can still stand up when we get on tube to Wembley. Yes, I do have the missus permission. Even tho I didn't need it anyway. It's City and it's Wembley. Can't wait it's been 31years.

3 hrs 20mins. Didn't go last year to Wembley so 31 years to get back with City. Remember, I refused to watch that shower of shite last year that relegated us. Only turning up at Wembley wasn't good enough for me. So withdrew my visit. Got my reward this year.

OUTBOUND: COVENTRY to LONDON EUSTON

Departs
Arrives By Reservations
10:44
- Coventry 12:27 - London Euston TRAIN (West Midlands Trains) No seat reserved with this ticket*

So, two tickets going and two coming back. The ones coming back are both on the same train (18.23).

One set of tickets (outbound and return) are for first class.

Can't refund them because they are advance tickets and now after I told my missus about the situation last year at the station and overloaded trains she no longer wants to go.

You can indeed.

Only trouble is now, I am going from the Nugget, not the Wallace. Wallace coaches all filled up now.

I can wave though from the emergency window if you want.

Where does that go then? They usually go through Cov don't they, but no trains between Cov and Brum on Monday.

Diverted?

I'd imagine they would go as they normally do i.e. via Tamworth & Nuneaton to Rugby.

When I go Coventry to Manchester and back again I go Coventry to Brum, then change for train to Manchester and the reverse back.

He didnt say anything about needing to go via Cov. Hence almost all trains from the North West will use the route as I just said. I stand corrected if he needs to get to Cov first.

Just realised, we got the special service they put on for the Oxford fans as we got on in the Cotswolds and changed in Oxford. I did think it had come from Warwick Parkway first but they sensibly did different trains for each team (obviously not a complete general rule). They seemed a lot more organised than Virgin.

Will still look to get Chiltern Trains from Warwick Parkway though.

Yeah we were.

I had to aggressively fight through their crowds to get to the loo!
