At a guess I'd think buses to moor st and six ways would be the 2 key services, both then have decent links to go on from there.

I used to drive up for years until I moved more centrally (London) which added 45 minutes to my trip and also because of the parking once they developed the site that now houses office space near the ground. It would be interesting to see how many come up from London (and environs and end up in New Street for a train to Witton or Aston.
It'd be interesting to see a breakdown of where people in an average 40K attendance come from and how they travel.*(*Obviously it's Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield, the Shires and by chauffeur-driven Bentley)

Used to do Marylebone to Moor Street then up to Witton. Most recently have done Euston since they destroyed the Marylebone service. Witton after the game was not bad for Watford. But then everyone had left early! Train back to London full of away fans can be a bugger. Had West Ham, Brighton, Villa and Wolves after the Brighton game. One walker at Euston had a go on the platform at me and my 9 year old.
An email from the Supporters Trust this morning specifically mentions there being a music venue incorporated in the plans whereas Purslow or the stuff published so far doesn't seem to give that impression.
