Never to the dark side Posted October 29, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Made my way down towards Grangetown train station along with the Police escort for the City fans heading towards Cardiff central station Managed to get on the train from Grangetown to Cardiff station,just missing the Cardiff to BTM service. So I had to wait till the 18:22pm to Parkway. The return football special was cancellled A five coach service train(capacity approx 400) left at 18:00pm full and standing,thank you for the 20 per cent(at least) of city fans that traveled by train. Hope you all had your tickets issued from Parson Street 600 extra passengers at Parson Street in one day does a lot for the footfall at the station. I departed at 18:27 on the train back home There was a 18:27pm service train for BTM and onto Westbury AND a "SPECIAL" that called at Parkway and BTM left approx 18:30pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 First we knew of the Special was on the way to the Station, by the time we got there it was cancelled. Luckily they let us out/through the Police line. Officer said to me "you look like you don't want to be here" got the obvious response and let us through. Got to Central station in time for the earlier train, though it didn't go to Parkway which was a pain for my mate. That train was packed, cancelling the Special must have meant the next few trains were rammed. Glad we missed that, the train from Leicester to New Street was horribly uncomfortable , rather not do that too often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t use it yesterday, but I’ve started using Parson Street on a matchday- quicker, cheaper and less packed than the Park and Ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
