I read in the Railway Magazine that there wernt going to be any football specials direct to Wembley cuz apparently the new Wembley station doesnt have the capabilities to deal with it. As a West Brom fan going to Wembley on Monday to watch us play its dissapointing there arnt any specials from Birmingham
Any ways hope the Gas win but also desperately hope Albion win so we dont have to play City next season

Forgot about that, here's an extract from the page.
Departure times for a private chartered train ferrying 696 Gasheads to and from Wembley Stadium on Saturday have been confirmed.
The Gas Express will leave Weston-Super-Mare station at 08:02 on Saturday morning, before heading to Bristol Temple Meads.
It will leave Bristol Temple Meads at 08:58 and continue on to Bristol Parkway.
It will then leave Bristol Parkway at 09:13 and will finally arrive at London Paddington at 10:44.
The return journey will see the train leave London Paddington at 19:36, dropping Gasheads off at Bristol Parkway at 20:58, Bristol Temple Meads at 21:13 and Weston-Super-Mare at 22:07.
