Luton

[scawsby steve]

I've changed my mind about Wimbledon, and fancy going to Luton instead; I certainly can't afford both, even with my rail card.

However, it's once again ambiguous from the train travel websites. Some are saying it's 2 changes, at Sheffield and Leicester, and some are saying train to King's Cross, and then from St Pancras to Luton.

Can some of you train buffs out there please shed some light on this?.

Train to kings cross, then a 40 odd minute train journey to Luton from st Pancras... done it the last few years, dead easy.

Thanks a lot Retdon1; you've just made my mind up for me; can't wait now.

Same issue on East Coast line for Luton as there is for Wimbledon - trains terminating at Peterborough then bus service to KX.

Via Sheffield is better option but when I looked at going that way there was some doubt whether Midland Mainline were offering a full service - advise you to check carefully before booking.

Is that all trains?

You want cheap or convenient?

Cheapest is with Megabus - buy a return from Donny to London (gets in at St Pancras) and it’s a bus to East Mids Parkway then a train into London. You’ll have to then double back on yourself to get to Luton.

For convenience, any train from Donny to Kings X then train from St Pancras (next door to Kings X) up to Luton.

Be warned that, using any of these routes, you end up in Luton and it’s a shithole.

Hi Rigo

Not going but curious. Do you mean catch MBus to St P and then a bus back to EMP then a train back to Luton ?

OR

Catch bus to London and it calls at EMP ? Seems less likely as you would only need a return Ticket to EMP

I will stick with Supporters Club Coaches either way lol (even with PMs renditions of Baby Shark)

our trains does t say anything about terminating at Peterborough

Might have changed, but that’s what it was saying when tickets first went on sale.

Done. 11.48 to King's Cross; no track maintenance other side of Peterborough on that day; 14.05 fast train from St Pancras arriving in Luton at 14.26; I admit it's a bit of a tight squeeze, but I'll get a taxi if I'm pushed.

£47.20 return with rail card; I'm pretty pleased with that.

This will be my 5th away game this season, and I've still to see them win on the road; I hope I'm not jinxing them.

I'll expect half of my fuel cost if we lose then Steve. Cheque will be fine.

Look out for the welcoming pubs outside the station first two have bouncers on with no away fans in bold letters and the only one you can use isn't sparkling. Oh and the bouncers on the door of the wetherspoons down the road also have a no away fans policy..very welcoming...

Their top goal scorer just got an international call up so misses the game against us.

[Draytonian III]

If they get two more call ups at any age range they can apply to postpone the game

Throwing a spanner into the works, Gambin is on loan at Crawley Town currently, but is still contracted to Luton, so I wonder if he'll count?

Wouldn’t have thought so - he’s never available for selection given he trains and plays with another club so why would him being unavailable through an international call up have any bearing?
