Wigan away advanced purchase train tickets

Tickets have now gone on sale through Virgin, single tickets are at £12.50, this is before any railcard discounts.

Alternative routes are via Liverpool and Manchester should tickets become more difficult/expensive direct to Wigan

You may notice the new xx:43 train scheduled into the timetable, this now replaces the xx:20 service that started at Birmingham to Edinburgh. It's 50mins longer as still routed via Birmingham. On the plus side, this gives more trains available on the way back as they too terminate at Euston instead of Birmingham New St.

Thanks for that mate. Just booked, £21.30 for me and the boy on our family and friends railcard.

palarsehater

on the way back is it the 3h 27m train that is the only real cheap option??

There are already two championship games - Forest v Yeovil & Watford v Brighton - on Sunday that weekend so cant see Sky moving it. Plus its Newcastle v Sunderland and Man City v Chelsea so Sky have some big Premiership games to choose from also.

Also it wont be moved if Wigan go through in the Europa League as the last 32 tie is normally towards the end of Feb.

AFKABartram

decent value that.

Big thanks to Elfsborg who keeps prompting these

Dansk_Red

I hope that Sky do not decide to show as the early kick off.

Friend Or Defoe

Match tickets will be cheap as chips, probably £15 with a 4k allocation.

The_Organiser

Got in there a couple of days ago at £25 return. Those prices have convinced a few more of our lot to join us for our annual northern train awayday. We get into Wigan at 11.47 I think.

roseandcrown

Sorted mine. Get in quick if your thinking about this the 18.09 already gone up from the 12.50 single.

Cheers again Elfsborg.

northstandsteve

On the 9.42 out gets in Wigan at 12.37 and on 19.12 home, gonna be a good piss up

The_Organiser

We're on the 19.12 home too.
Never been to Wigan which added to the appeal.

Is there not the possibility that if Wigan progress in Europa Cup it could be moved to a Sunday?

You've not missed much. Souless northern town, with a 20 min walk to the "out of town" ground. (Sorry).

Well you won't be missed CE while the rest of us get on it,sounds like the 19.12 is gonna be one pissed up train.

Thanks for the information Elfsborg I normally drive to matches with family but have booked solo from Tring via MK £7.25 singles (with card) arrive 11.37 also on 19.12 home so hopefully put some faces to names . Looking forward to a few pints for a change.

Those games aren't actually on Sky - our game against Forest is on Sky the previous Thursday so we've both moved the weekend games back but as you say there are those 2 big Premier league games.
