Horwich isn't that far from Wigan so if you're going down the train/taxi route, get one to Wigan and Taxi shouldn't cost as much.

It's not all that clear on the National Rail website, but it appears that there may be a rail replacement bus service between Preston and Manchester via Horwich every weekend, unless they've drawn a bus in the wrong place on their map. See links below. I hope someone can tell me I'm wrong! I can't see a bus service coping with a football crowd.

http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/182896.aspx
http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/static/documents/maps/Man%20Pre%20via%20Salford%20C.pdf

Incidentally, it seems that there's a rail replacement bus for the last part of the route to Hull (about an hour) on Easter Saturday, the day we play there.

When I've looked at train tickets online for Bolton on 17th they don't indicate it being a bus service from Piccadilly.

I'd noticed that, Meanwood, but National Rail say this in their announcement:
Quote
These changes are not currently shown in the National Rail Enquiries Journey Planner, please check back nearer to the time of travel.
That's what makes it all rather confusing. As I say, I hope I'm wrong

Bit of a nightmare if it is bus particularly as the current plan is to have been on the beers for several hours beforehand.

Has anyone had any problems with the AV online booking site today? - can't seem to get a ticket despite having qualifying purchase history.

Trains to Horwich are officially off according to train booking website today. Via Wigan seems most plausible option. Anyone with local knowledge got another suggestion?

Possible problem with Wigan idea is they're at home in FA cup that weekend and TV slot hasn't been decided yet. If it is Sat at 5.30 as well then getting a taxi might not be as straightforward.

Too right. I reckon that's the longest three miles in the universe.
Would it really have killed the Sheffield tram people to lay on the odd football special?
