Timo Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hi, I am on a business teip in London in February and would love to joint Bristol City vs. Wigan on Feb 15 but can not find any opportunity to travel back to London by public transport after the match. Is there maybe anyone who will go by car and can take me and a colleague with him? Or anyone who knows anyone? Of course we would pay gasoline for our part. Any help is appreciated. Cheers Timo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted January 10, 2023 Report Share Posted January 10, 2023 There is a train at 10pm to Paddington but that would be tight, would probably need to leave game before the end and jump in a taxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned if you leave just before full time and get a taxi (or a scooter) the 10pm train is doable - I understand others have done that successfully this season. To be honest if you need to work in London on the day after the match, the best solution is to just stay in Bristol for the night and get up earlier, there are plenty of trains which arrive in London from Bristol before 9am. Slightly hijacking your thread - there used to be a 22:36 train to London which me and at least a handful of other London based City fans would take after midweek games and which often had the London based fans of opposition clubs as well. This (plus a 1 hour night bus from Paddington into deepest South London) was part of our routine for 6 or 7 seasons and is sadly missed. During COVID when the train services were scaled back they removed this service but unlike the others, they never brought it back. I wrote to GWR who eventually said it was a Network Rail (who run the infrastructure) decision due to working on the line at night, I wrote to Network Rail to find out why and if this was only temporary, and never got a response. It's very frustrating. Perhaps @Never to the dark side has some insights.....? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
