Looks ok at the moment. What if they add a restriction after you purchase tickets?

What time are folk looking to get into London by?

Ah look, the glory hunter returns.

Not sure what you mean by Glory Hunter Haven't Missed a Game Home or away for 8 years (if my boss hadn't sent me to the states would have been longer.

Anyway yes it's not in the calendar yet but they could add it. I know someone who got one for the Millwall game the day after we won through; I went to the station 2 days later and they'd put a stop on them.

Hence I've booked early

If you go to london get a return to didcot & then a 1 day travel pass then the cost goes down & the travel allows unlimited travel on the train tube & bus in London. A group 4 makes it £17.75 each

What do you mean by this?

Don't forget you get a 10% discount with your STFC season ticket from certain stations around Swindon.

When i went to wembley with my father in law we drove to Hillingdon and got the tube from there. you could also get the bus to oxford and then get the OxfordTube bus to london, I think it stops at hillingdon.

Buy a return from Swindon to Didcot.
Also buy a 1 day travel pass. This gets you from Didcot to London, and allows unlimited travel on the trains, the tube, and buses in London.
If 4 of you buy together, you get a special rate, which works out at £17.75 per person

Hope that helps?

Beautiful. The only bit I'm confused about is how a travel pass allows transport from Didcot to London? I thought the day passes were only within London? Thanks

[Samdy Gray]

I spoke to FGW customer services who basically said once a ticket is issued it's valid. So if they later decide to not allow Group Savers on that day the original tickets should remain valid.

I'd like to see them try to chuck hundreds of people off the train or try and charge them all penalty fares anyway.

When you buy a ticket to London, you can add the travelcard element to the ticket. Saves you buying once in London

Just got my tickets and in the space of 20 mins they went up £14 (standard fare for 2 people).

Booked my train tickets from Cheltenham this morning.
First train doesn't arrive at Paddington until 12:10, so what with the 2pm kick-off there won't be a lot of pub time available!

[Dozno9]

Our train arrives paddington 10.10, tickets are £79 now on standard, at 8pm they were £48
