How is everybody getting up to Edinburgh in May, I was thinking of catching the train on the saturday but the timetable states is showing several changes & the journey time is about 4/5 hrs at least.
I would think with lots of fans from the north west going they might just put on direct " special trains" just for the rugby fans.
Thoughts everyone?
WIGAN RLFC IS MORE THAN A RUGBY CLUB - IT'S A RELIGION There will always be a Wigan Warriors no matter what the bitter & twisted blues say
Still lots of weekend engineering going on although if you look at the Virgin Train ads they say that a lot more trains are running at the weekend it is rubbish. I was looking to go north on Easter Saturday, bus from Wigan to Preston then train. Two and a half hours to get to Carlisle, pathetic and not Virgins fault all down to Railtracks over running engineering work.

I was also planning to go on the train, apparently you go via York.... no thanks

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions
Going up by car, setting off about 6am. We're staying over Saturday night at the premmier inn at Falkirk North, so driving up to Falkirk and parking up on the premmier inn car park, hopefully by about 10ish. Taxi to Falkirk station and train in to Edinburgh. Sorted!
Should be there for around 11am, with any luck, ready for a few beers

Oh Please
Take a return train trip to dunfermline/Kircaldy over the bridge, fascinating if you havent done it before. Better than spending a day watchin the Leith windy lickers
A purple patch inspired on his home ground by man of the match WIGAN CAPTAIN Sean O’Loughlin produced three tries in an eight-minute spell just before half-time, and the GB Lions added two more after the break to maintain Smith’s 100 per cent record as Great Britain coach.

To get up to Edinburgh on the Saturday 2nd May you have to go via York, which takes about 4.5 - 5 hrs or something nuts like that. Great planning there, several thousand North West folk can't use the train to get to Edinburgh!
Think you can get back to Wigan though on Monday 4th.
