Ever the pessimist Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Reasonably confident of getting a ticket for this, but hesitant to book train given chance of strikes. Has anyone else gone ahead and booked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't booked yet but I'm a bit of a last minute Larry ,Refunds are pretty simple anyway and usually back in within a few days so if it's a decent saving you may aswell book 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I booked the train earlier this week, £36.30 return with railcard, which is pretty decent. If they do go on strike it'll be refunded. Thinking of booking Portsmouth train as well, but the rail sites still have that flagged as "we don't yet know if engineering works will affect this journey". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ve taken the risk with Portsmouth as very decent prices at the moment - £70 odd return including tube (no railcard) with a split ticket Leave Sheffield 07:30 into Pompey for 12 noon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could probably have easily got there in time for the 6:30, or even the 6:00 with some luck but Charlton is one of those odd out of the way grounds away from the tube network that you have to get a regular train back from and change to the tube at somewhere like London Bridge, so sometimes you can get back fairly quickly but other times it can take ages. So the slightly later one gives more leeway and saves the worrying about making it on time, will still be back in Sheffield around 9pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might go down a bit later and just have lunch in London before heading to Portsmouth. If they strike on that day it'll change to a horrible long coach trip for probably the same price.

ActonOwl Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Just FYI to anyone that cares. Trains to Charlton station from St Pancras are every half hour, at 32 and 2 mins past (to Rainham) and from Charlton station they leave at 10 and 40 mins past past the hour, every hour, to St Pancras. Takes half an hour. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes half an hour. Didn't know there were direct trains tbh! If there's much injury time ten past is pushing it. Trains are also every 7 minutes from Charlton to London Bridge and then change to the tube, which is what we did last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiewhitesaunders Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 How long you reckon this one will take to sell out. First away game weren’t it last year and made it to general sale. Good 3.5k allocation aswell. Surely will sell out quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
