Hi all, Arriva Trains Wales are advertising on their website that, in connection with the Wrexham FC vs. Grimsby Town FC final at Wembley Stadium, they are to provide a train for fans wishing to travel to the game. The outbound train will depart Wrexham General at 0915 to arrive at Wembley Staium station at 1246 while the return train will leave at 1741 or, in the event of extra time and / or penalties, 1841. Both trains will run non-stop. Can't find the train codes & routing info on OTT but good to see that football specials seem to be making a bit of a comeback. ATW's new release on their website... http://www.arrivatrainswales.co.uk/Templates/News.aspx?pageid=3852 ... advises that the rolling stock will be "using the Premier Train Service (Y Gerallt Gymro), which has been newly re-furbished thanks to Welsh Government funding and which operates on the Welsh Government specified express service between North and South Wales on weekdays."

The times from each end of the top of my head imply its running in one of the former WSMR paths, ill have a check when I get home. ATW are quite good with footex and rugex trains, and it's nice this time to see them advertising in advance if the event. "Passengers for New Lane, should be seated in the rear coach of the train " - Opinions are my own and not those of my employer Log in to reply |

openTrainTimes and RealTimeTrains won't have data for that train until a week before. I will be trying to photo it as it thunders through Bicester North! Log in to reply |
