We were allowed to buy tickets for knebworth, even though they clearly knew the station would be shut.

They then say you can walk to Stevenage but there won’t be additional carriages so you may not get on your train…flipping scandalous…remember when they told us privatising they rail service would benefit customers…

I know for some, going on train was the only option for Sunday but it’s a precarious situation at present, I’d be worried…

I was told I could go on a later Hull train as long as the conditions were the same. The next train was over an hour later and taking an hour long due to changes.

I’m not waiting around in London - especially if it ends up being a bad day.

If you had waited you could have travelled on that ticket plus have a full refund via delay repay.
I've  claimed three or four hundred notes back over the last couple of years.

If you’re going to the gig it’s an easy walk from the Town centre to the park if you get off there. Should take you about 30 - 45 mins max.

Agreed…issue is, they’ve basically said the trains will be full and they’ll limit people getting on platforms and it’s unlikely you’ll get on your train…

Not risking that with the playoff final the following day. Had we not made it, I’d happily gamble and sleep on a bench…

You can get a different train for any cancelled, they’ve confirmed on their Twitter.

EDIT: Although the 19:52 is the last one with Hull Trains to be fair and the rest aren't very convenient…

Just spoke to Hull trains and they advised you can get the next earlier or later train back……but only one either side.
This is at the discretion of the other train operator and you have to get agreement before getting on!   ……and if there’s seats…….he said they can control the number of people now going on the platform.
If you don’t get agreement they will charge you the full bloody fare…!
Also the guy said there’s lots of trains being cancelled this weekend …..not yet announced
So even if you pay to change your not guaranteed to get on ….

Easier getting a man in the moon…….
Thanks national league for such a location and timing…..

Not an option for many I know  - but drive to Peterboro gives you access to virtually all north south trains - Hull Trains are the only ones that don't stop there. £45 for travelcard to Hackney Wick - 1 hour 48 journey, trains leaving every 10-15 mins from Peterboro. I normally go to Grantham but with the potential cancellations Peterboro much safer.

Hoping not to jynx myself here but I'm obviously very lucky here in Taunton there's 4-5 trains sunday morning in the space of 3 hours all arriving in Paddington in plenty of time, my train leaves at 9am and arrives at 11am Paddington.
