Crystal Palace FC co-owner Jeremy Hosking is a prominent collector of vintage steam trains and we are delighted to be able to announce that Jeremy is organising a steam train journey to and from Southampton for our final league game of the 2015/2016 season on Sunday May 15th 2016.

Wow.

All jokes aside, this is brilliant. The team will be joining the train for the return and the ticket includes beer & food.

palarsehater

agree shame its palace but this would be a one off experience certainly a different spin on a matchday special.

KM has jumped on the bandwagon and arranged something similar for the first away game next season.

Absolutely fking great deal that.

We'll be able to do it in a few years time. Hythe away in the league on the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway.

This has done me. The fact Palace's co-owner is doing this for their fans, the fact that Palace are now in the PL with that smug wanker Pardew in charge & we're in League 1 with an owner that doesn't give a shit about us & a basket case of a club all over.

I once had a bit of an escapade on one of those in my youth......got chased by a diesel engine.

With all the engineering works at the moment, I'll be happy to just get a train to Charlton matches!

A nice idea though

Yeah but they are still Nigels and I wouldn't, for anything,want anything to do with that club and their scary ultras
