Cambridge (A)

[Hendo]

I didn't think I'd be able to attend this but I completely forgot I already booked this week off work so I'll probably go now, again probably through STAR coaches, due to the price of trains, how is a return from Fleet to Cambridge £52? Public transport is not only a joke but a rip-off too.

Because you have to go into London, any train journey that goes into the capital is always more expensive. You'll be using Zone 1 tube at peak time as well.

Not sure you'd be able to get a train back to Fleet after the game anyway? Looking at Trainline, you'd have to be getting the train at 21:44 - which I don't think will be late enough.

Looks like the latest train from Reading to Fleet is at 22:52 which might be fine, otherwise I'll have to beg my Dad to rescue me.

Welcome to my experience of getting to literally any home games.

Yeah, looking at trains it really doesn't look feasible so I might have to give this one a miss. May have to eventually look into driving if I want to go to more away games, that said, passed my test over 10 years ago and never drove again so I'd probably be a menace on the roads at this point.

Also there's no guarantee you'll actually be able to get a train with tshe strikes at the moment (trains could be cancelled at short notice). IIRC, it's only £20 for the coach to Cambridge. With the rail prices, it's almost like they don't want people to use the train network.

The unions and DFT seem to be in a stand off as to who can wind the network down the fastest.

Not sure if you said it flippantly but fwiw I agree I think this is the end goal.

We're at 879 now, so about 1,000 seems right.
