Cup Final Travel Chaos??

[waveney wolf]

If I heard it right on the radio driving home , as there are no trains running on Saturday for the cup final, police have advised city and United fans traveling to London to use allocated service stations, and to use separate motorways to go into London??
Should be fun.

As long as the tubes are running should be OK, both sets of fans these days probably only live round the corner

I know it’s a bit of a cliche but when I was at Euston on Sunday morning i couldn’t believe how many Man Utd shirts there were with people trying to get trains up to Old Trafford for the game.

Service stations in Stafford were rammed full of msn u fans in the way back from Liverpool away this season. Man Utd were at home to West Ham lol

Talking of trains the 9.07 from Birmingham to Euston on Sunday was a joke. Only 4 carriages and it was full before it even left. Passengers who were crammed in by the doors were pushing traveler's off as they tried to get on at each station.

They added 4 more coaches at Northampton but 2 stops later it was packed to the rafters again.

Considering the price it is, train travel in England is awful at times.

The trains in this country are beyond a joke....spending all that money on HS2 and they can't run the current lines we have properly......nearly as bad as building the M6 toll road.....

That’s how we compared the 2 on Sunday.

Both are just build by the rich for the rich who want to be somewhere slightly quicker

I’m at the test match so should be fun.
Drive to Hillingdon and tube it in.

It’s only going to go up to pay for all their pay rises.

We normally drive as it’s much cheaper and more reliable but we thought we would take the train for the final day.

Trains in this country are just overpriced cattle trucks subsidising travel for our European friends.

The eco-lunatics have also said they're targeting the M6 and M1 on Saturday in several places.

Don’t fancy the protesters chances against an angry mob of football fans who won’t want to be late for the cup final.

Absolutely this. The roads up from Cornwall and Devon and Kent will be crammed!

Maybe..finally we will see some proper action/'removal techniques' taken against these eco bellends.

Don't think they understand that while there's a lot of public sympathy for the cause, targeting the public is losing that support.

Just Stop Oil know they are causing problems for normal people but until normal people get angry about the climate emergency and let the government know, the self-serving rogues who run the country will continue to take backhanders from the oil companies and won't do anything about it.

But that's a discussion for another thread.
