Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: mattboyslim on Friday, December 1, 2006, 14:16:32 I'm with Yeovil on this, my regualr away mates seem tho think they'll be engineering all over the place, I'll take the easterly route, meet my mates from reading in oxford i suspect, although rumours of buses banbury way have been bout too for some point over that weekend. The after the game drinking in teh german market and off to see mates in Derby.
Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: sonic youth on Friday, December 1, 2006, 14:22:13 i wish i hadn't decided to go on the train now :?
Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: janaage on Friday, December 1, 2006, 14:56:52 Whenever I go passed Swindon Train station during the weekend there are always a couple of Tunrers buses taking the train passengers to some other station.
A couple of my mates kicked of f once about it as they booked seats for the train, went and had a couple of pints whilst they waited to leave. Then they were told they had to take a coach instead, a couple of them needed a slash on the way and the bus driver told them that the toilet was locked and would remained locked. They complained as "train's have toliet they can use" but the driver basically wouldn't unlock it for them. Fucking liberty!! Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: larwood on Friday, December 1, 2006, 15:19:37 Agreed,trains are generally crap :x Last week i think the whole of Bristol must have been flooded because all the trains going there seemed to be sodding cancelled.And then coming back i was sat on a train for 15 minutes waiting for the bloody thing to leave,in the end i had to leg it to the other platform and catch another one where i had to stand up near two pissed up Bury fans,joy :-))(
Trains are rubbish,but they give me something to moan about so.... :wink: Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: Piemonte on Friday, December 1, 2006, 15:26:31 pffft.
Being a female you dont need trains for something to moan about :wink: Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: larwood on Friday, December 1, 2006, 16:08:41 Quote from: "Piemonte" pffft. Being a female you dont need trains for something to moan about :wink: :soapy tit wank: True Pi,very true. Anyway i'm not going to Walsall by any means of transportation,because i'll be in Western Australia chasing quokkas instead 8) :D Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, December 1, 2006, 16:09:09 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Public transport is for peasants.
On a slightly unrelated matter, this will be my wife's first Swindon game. So I hope we win.

That is correct Joy Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: Spud on Friday, December 1, 2006, 16:29:35 Hopefully my mate has decided to drive to Walsall as we was thinking it over last week.
Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Saturday, December 2, 2006, 16:06:02 The engineering work is between Bristol and Taunton so between Bristol to Birmingham is fine.
Title: Walsall on the train .Part 2 Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, December 2, 2006, 20:25:16 I won't be taking peasant transport either. Fixed the old shed on wheels today so I'll be M5-ing it.
