Admin phantom Posted February 20, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 What time trains every one getting Also does anyone know if it goes via temple meads - parkway or other way round or is it 2 separate routes ?? Can only assume a - You don't travel from Bristol to London on the train? b - You have never been on a train when City are in a major final ? There will be THOUSANDS of people travelling on the day Temple Meads and Parkway will have a queing system in place for people heading to London - so don't assume that if you have a reservation or planned train that you will get on it !! Parkway and Temple Meads are on DIFFERENT routes to London For times have a look here www.nationalrail.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 you can get a sprinter from Temple meads to parkway but will have to go through lawrence hill, Stapleton road and filton abbey wood before coming round abbey jn into parkway itself, When ever I travel to london I always go from parrkway as its easier to park and a quicker journey, But as Phantom points out their will be a queuing system in place, if I were going by train I'd aim to leave bristol between 8 and 9 and then find the spoons near baker st Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bets are either to get a train from Filton Abbey Wood or Parson Street to Parkway, where you'll end up on the same platform as the London train, or to travel to Newport and pick up the train there. No queuing, no police. I've done both for Wembley finals, and panic totally averted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 In 1909 for that Cup Final, apart from the scheduled trains, the GWR laid on an extra 18 trains to take City fans to London. Any chance of FGW providing even one extra train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Planet Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 We are going to avoid the inevitable crowding on trains from Bristol by driving to High Wycombe, then getting the Chiltern Line service from there direct to Wembley Stadium station.Two possible snags with that - 1)Also likely to be engineering works on Sunday on that line and b) there might be quite a few Walsall fans using that line.Not that we mind mixing with Walsall but again it could be crowded, although there are very frequent trains on that line.

The good news for you is it is from north of High Wycombe so trains are running pretty much as normal between there and London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Also diversions in place that Sunday from Temple Meads route, extra 30 minutes on usual journey In journey time terms it means its 1.5 hours from BP but 2.5 hours from BTM.

You'll be better off going to Amersham and getting the underground service to Wembley.. 20min or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless extra trains are put on there are probably only 10-15 trains that evening/night for fans to get (including a couple after midnight) and if there is extra time/penalties there will be even less.

Hope can follow somebody who's got a rough idea Yeah, tube can take you straight to Wembley or near it if you're planning on drinking. Its easy enough mate! Plus there's gonna be thousands of other city fans around you who'll know where they're going, just make sure you get a day travel card for the tube and you'll be alright.
