And I think that train stops at the STFC hotbeds of Chippenham and Melksham too
I don't think any come through Chippenham on the way  It looked to me when I had a scout around that you had to go Reading and then down through Castle Cary etc. which is a bit of a fucker if it's the only way. Still better than driving mind. Yes it does you change at Bath.(I think well we did last time i went) |

Strangely enough, I never went ahead with the train idea. Bankruptcy courts will just have to wait a little longer for me.
One mini bus sold out though.
Dangerfields do some cheap day hire deals:
£60 for 12 seater
£70 for 15 seater
£80 for 17 seater (the one we went for).
I know a fair few will be going by train.
Any ideas on pubs? The only one that seems to be close to the ground is called The Arrow but if a fair number go by train (which is miles from the ground) then will there be a large gathering at a Town Centre location (cheap Wetherspoons for example)?
Trying to make sure our designated driver knows where to take us, as I'm not sure we'll be much good at giving directions. Would be great to invade a pub a bit like MKDonalds game.
FYI, train from Swindon at 8.55am. change at Bath Spa, then 9.58am to Yeovil, arrives at 11.09am. The next couple require 2 changes.

That train seems perfect. Is the ground within walking distance?

I'm either catching a train from Swindon to Bath, and then Bath to Yeovil Pen Mill.
Or I'm catching the 49 to Trowbridge, and getting on there.
I will catch the return train from Yeovil Pen Mill to Bath/Trowbridge, depending on which takes my fancy.
