Coming in from Rochdale so should be easy.

He can occupy himself with the karaoke machine whilst the rest of watch what we actually went there for in the first place..!

I'm hoping to catch the train from Piccadilly to Manchester United FC Station, so if anyone knows for sure if this is running and what the times will be i'd be grateful.

Cheers

How is everyone going to fit onto the return trains? In 2001 it was carnage and we are taking many more this time.

just hope you get squashed next to a pretty lady.

When I returned from Wembley on a Wigan train from Manchester Piccadilly I was literally surrounded by female cleavage. It was a treat.



They seriously should put more trains on though.

They won't put more trains on, the best we can hope for is more carriages on each train.

Advice from seasoned train trallers plz...
Im hoping to get on the train @ Hindley station, if the train is full @ Wigan will it stop @ Hindley or just travel through?

The good news - it has to stop
The bad news - they may not open the doors if it's already full.

You'll be ok as there are more than enough trains going through as people will be travelling at various times during the day, the problem will be getting back as everyone tries to get on the same train.

In a roundabout way its telling you that as yet, there are NO trains going to MUFC station
sorry for assuming everyone would read between the lines.

No pun intended...?

Does anyone know how much a taxi from M'cr to the centre of Wigan would cost? Also would it be better booking with a M'cr firm or Wigan for the return journey? Cheers.

I've known it to be anything from £40 - £70. No idea re. booking though, probably as broad as it is long.

10.46 train to victoria for us, gets us in just in time for shambles square opening

As regards getting home, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it

No probs

its the train companies responsibility to get you home.

if you have a return ticket then the MUST get you home.

if the trains are full its the companies fault for not putting more carriages on...........

when this happens, the train company must get you home by taxi.

dont be fobbed off.

They must have been some very tall ladies

This is correct, but if you end up in this position, your attitude towards the person dishing out the taxi's could determine whether you get that taxi or not.

Is anyone parking at Eccles and tramming in to Salford Quays?

Is every Wigan fan getting the 10.46 to Victoria?! Those pubs won't know what's hit um

No, most are on the 09:46. Wellington opens at 11, so you'll be a couple of pints behind everyone else when you arrive.

We're on the 11:46. The idea of being a few pints behind is very appealing. I tried one of those breakfast in the Brockett early starts with people from this board for a saints game a few years ago and finished up in a very sorry state. I think we won the match but the only real memory I have of it is getting some very disapproving looks from the miserable young lady whose ST was next to mine in the West Stand. It was then I decided two things:
1 - I'm too old for all day drinking sessions
2 - The West Stand wasn't for me after all.
