SouthBirminghamVilla Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Seems a pain getting back to Birmingham after the game. Must be some track works or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertom46 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Giving a time of nearly two hours to get back to Crewe on the Replacement Buses. You may get away with getting a train to Manchester then down from there. On the way up, instead of advising buses, it advises changing at Crewe and Chester, which seems to be a little quicker, so would be worth looking at for the way back. Another thing worth maybe trying is changing at Warrington Bank Quay/Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeh, looks like the normal change at Crewe or Stafford for Lime Street is out for this one - unless you want to travel early, in which case it looks like upto around 10am are running normally ie. 2 hour journey, 1 change. After that you're looking at 3 hours with changes at Crewe and Chester, and on the way back (would be for me at least) a FOUR hour journey with changes at Manchester and Cov. As for Warrington Bank Quay & Central...that place still gives me shivers. I was stranded there for 2 hours at around midnight with 5 or 6 others once, waiting for a replacement bus service as the trains we were supposed to be getting from Brum/Cov to Liverpool were ****, so we had to change twice before Warrington and get off at Bank Quay and walk to Central for the bus. Scary place. I thought my town was dead, but Warrington is something else man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 So £50 for a ticket £60 on train fares And a six hour round trip sandwiched with 90 odd mins of garbage Anyone going to this one deserves a medal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
