Is anyone getting train to sheffield???

Yep. Newton Le Willows to Manchester Piccadilly. Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield. Tenner return, Belter

thats a bargain that lad!

Me Bolton to Manchester Piccadilly then Manchester Piccadilly to Sheffield £11 return

short walk to bramhall lane from the station and a decent pub across the road.

Use my free pass from wigan to manchester oxford road - then buy a ticket from oxford road - sheffield be about £4.00 return

Anyone got any times? Will it be the same prices on the day?

getting the 9.58 train from wigan arrives in sheffield at 11.34

I will be on the 11.13 from Bolton arrive Sheffield 12.34 Pay on the day is £15.80 return

Its £17.80 return from Wigan

Any changes?

I would think the change would be Manchester Oxford Rd but it could be Piccadilly

Yeah, thinking of putting a nice navy blue t-shirt on just after we head out of Piccadilly.

AYE 1 CHANGE MANCHESTER OXFORD ROAD ABOUT 15 MINS WAIT THOUGH.

All the Oxford Road trains call at Piccadilly so you can change at either. That's providing your connecting trains both stop at Oxford Road?

Did when I went to Nottingham. Then it stopped at Sheffield.

If there is a group of you then ask at Wigan about buying a 4way ticket. It costs about £39 for 4 return tickets (thats to Nottingham so maybe less to Sheff)

What's the score with drinks on trains?

They sell them

You can take them on

There is no problem in taking your own on the train.

Outward - depart 12:43 Manchester Piccadilly, arrive 13:34 Sheffield.

Return - depart 18:10 Sheffield, arrive 19:02 Manchester Piccadilly.

£3.30 each way as Advance Singles with a railcard - will get an early train between Wigan and Manchester on Saturday morning, have a quick mooch at what's on offer as part of 'Record Store Day' in Piccadilly Records, pick up a couple of cold cans from Sainsbury's in Piccadilly station for the journey over the hills, and just jump on the first train back to Wigan on return in the evening. Should be fun.

18:10 is pushing it a bit mate! it's a 4pm kickoff remember!

Yeah, that got a bit messed up - I booked the tickets when the kick off was announced as 3pm. The announcement that it was a 4pm start must've been made literally whilst I was going through the booking process. Hoping it'll still work out alright if the game finishes on time, though I'm prepared for a bit of a jog back to the station if needs be!

Yeah, i'm glad I booked mine for the 19:42 train back the Manchester. Got time for a few drinks in Sheffield before I have to head off home.

Asked about that today at wallgate , told me they dont do them to sheffield.
