    Yes

    Going down Saturday from Leeds &pound;30 each on the 8.15 which stops at Donny.</p>

    Didn't fancy a late night train journey back, and also wanting a safe travel time i.e. in case of extra time, I thought it best to come back after 8:30pm, so am flying back to Leeds for &pound;55 on Sunday night at 9pm, and have managed to get a Holiday Inn for &pound;12.50 for the Saturday night by cashing in my Priority Club reward points.</p>

    Train looks a great option - £30 return on Hull Trains. Kings Cross by 12.50 a good 3 hrs before KO, and last train home at 8pm - sorted!

    Now watch Railtrack shaft it with unscheduled maintenance at Grantham!

    It was the Star wasn't it?

    Or one of the radio stations, can't remember which.

    And I doubt it, as theres plenty of trains down to London, wasn't as simple a task to get to Cardiff by train.

    I wonder if there's any other red fans around the world, that ever stayed in London and therefore have similar near miss stories?

    Site Admin, may I suggest a sticky?

    It's nowhere near London though, so if we're expanding the theme:

    I was in Yorkshire on monday and therefore just missed an opportunity to go to Oakwell on Tuesday and a potential ticket to Wembley.

    It was the star, and this year they are putting on buses rather than a train.
