Scandalous. I envisaged these sort of problems which is why I'm going g by coach but I thought it would be the West Coast mainline where issues were not Chiltern.
Re: your other post, 10 cancellation fee, someone should be jailed if they don't waiver that for people cancelling.

Somebody is making a lot of money

Anyone know how busy Cov station’s looking?

Contemplating blagging a lift to International and jumping on there to try and beat the stampede at Cov.

Plenty already at new street apparently but I'd still give it a go if I was in your shoes

Cancelling tickets means a £10 admin fee. Dodgy cunts.

Already had to do it , found out I booked a ticket for 6.20am, and sorry but fuck that 11.10am is much better

Might just go to the Rialto for a free beer and sell my ticket for a grand

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Parkway already rammed according to Twitter. Part of me wonders if this is just the initial early rush and it will die down a bit, wouldn't bank on it though.

Just setting off from deepest Devon - all quiet down here unsurprisingly. Good luck with the trip today folks, I hope it doesn’t become a massive shitshow

I'm guessing that opposite

Was lovely to see so much sky blue walking down/up the Warwick Road towards the station. Safe travels to all

Can you buy tickets from Oxford?

Chiltern tweeted saying there should be space on their Oxford > Wembley route

Plenty of seats here if anyone needs one

 

[chiefdave]

So they have sold shit loads more tickets than they have space on trains?

and still on sale as they claim its impossible to stop selling tickets. surely if you have a certain number of tickets then once sales reach that number you stop selling them, not a difficult concept

Yeah train line must be loving life

Anyone on the Euston line? How's it looking at Coventry and Rugby?

 

[wantageskyblue]

If you are willing to drive to Oxford Parkway the train comes from Oxford rather than Birmingham so in theory should have more space

On the 9:17 from Birmingham just left Coventry no seats but I've seen worse

 

[mrfr]

What a day for a train ride.

“Due to unprecedented demand”

un fucking precendented. What planet do they live on where they think that’s believable

fucking incompetent

There were 4 teams in the play offs, surely you make a contingency plan in case a team whose support uses your line gets through?
Fucking amateur hour.

 

[CV22SBA]

Load of bollox about the trains. Even got a seat

 

[skyblueiom]

Are the barriers up at Euston? Wondering if I blag an earlier train

 

[Grendel]

Easy just walked in and sat down seats available as it leaves

 

[Fysnkysc]

People being refused at Leamington saying they have over sold

 

[MusicDating]

10:40 at Banbury was rammed, but all Cov managed to squeeze on. Tourists just looked confused

 

[Grendel]

Random that the leamington route seems a lot worse

 

[LastGarrison]

Cov station empty and letting people on any train so we’re jumping on the earlier one

My son just walked on at a Leamington and got seats

Many people switched because they thought Coventry would be rammed?

Lemming theory, everybody decides it'll be quieter from there, so making it busier!

Official coach got me into just gone half 10

We got 9.46 from Warwick. Rammed. Not everyone could get on at Banbury or Bicester. They announced they weren't stopping at all at High Wycombe. We're about 25 away now.

Chiltern not covering themselves in glory. As they issued a "Do Not Travel Alert", they can shrug their shoulders and say - or tweet, at least - 'nothing to do with us'.
