X country train strike Nuneaton Saturday

[Ballie1981]

Hi

 

I normally travel from Stafford for home games via Nuneaton, but this Saturday theres another train strike on x country (Thought this had finished in the summer!!). Meaning you cant get from Nuneaton to Leicester and back. And to rub it in i find myself without a car that day.

 

Thus, would anyone be interested in sharing an uber from Nuneaton station to Leicester centre and back after the game? Leave Nuneaton about 0930 ish and come back about 1530ish? Cost is about £30 for an uber for a single trip. Train is normally about £15 for a return. 

 

I know i should stay at home and not endure the pain of watching us, but you ve not meet my screaming 6 month old child!!!!!

Jump on 148 bus from Nuneaton mate, it's long winded but its £6 return. It's roughly 1hr 10minute bus ride.

Half to town? That a single one way ticket? Then yes. 

 

148 or 158, stand c2 at Nuneaton bus station and the bus station is like 5 minute walk from train station.

Drops you off at West Bridge, take a stroll by the canal to the KP. Return is across the road, a large layby just pass the canal.

 

Timings are not always reliable as the come from Coventry.

 

After the game either rush back to get bus back or go for a drink as it gets a bit full. Or walk to the Holiday in to get on it a stage earlier.

Stop moaning. Walk it if you need to
