Seems like a decent idea for the less organized and more forgetful among us, which most certainly includes me.

Great idea, I can get to villa park from stockport going via crewe quicker and cheaper than driving
This will help
-
Brilliant.
Sorted.
Thanks adrenachrome!
-
how much notice do Sky need to give when they move games for TV?
It seemed like quite a lot of our games got moved last season.
That'd be my one worry when buying so far in advance.

Good point Danno. Still good though
-
Great idea

For those coming from Manchester or Stockport to Birmingham or vice versa. Buy a ticket from (or to) Rugeley Trent Valley to (or from) Stockport / Manchester and route it via Birmingham. There is a saving to be made. The route via Birmingham is valid (as the search engine will confirm) and break of journey is permitted.
Most of the fares on this ticket are off peak and therefore more flexible than advance tickets.

We do the same but Stoke instead of Rugeley, assume it would work the same.

We used to do this when traveling from Macclesfield. Splitting at Stoke would make things significantly cheaper.

Yes, I think its a two part return via Stoke. Holte L2 of this parish can confirm as he does that if he's not cadging a lift with me from Alty.

Yes correct, if your travelling to/from Manchester. Get a two part return. Manchester to Stoke - Stoke to Aston. Works out to aprox £25.00. Rather than £35. When I first made this discovery the price of the ticket was £21.00, which gives an indication of how train prices have increased in recent years.

Last time I looked there was a bus service part of the way and it was due to take about four hours in total.

Cheapest I've found so far is £27.50. West Ham in November is considerably cheaper

Wouldn't it just be easier to get a free coach for the Hull game?

Book it today and you can get it for £12 return. Book direct with Chiltern as Trainline charge a booking fee.
I have just booked West Ham and Fulham. I have actually paid £9 going but you can get it for £6. Time suited me better.
