Only drawback is that races are on at Uttoxeter so the Derby-Stoke train will be rammed but it'll only be for about the first 20 minutes. Also if we don't get back to station by 5:33pm we have to endure the horror of an extra hour in Stoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it depends what time you select, think the Derby-Stoke trains are only 1 per hour. I never use the ticket splitting website when it's a fairly straightforward journey, it does seem to miss options off, I just plan the trip on the regular National Rail site and then see how much cheaper it'd be to split the tickets somewhere in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshowl Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Closer than a home match for me so it’s an easy one. What boozers are people going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
