A long way from Wigan

Re: Grand final Tickets : Tue Oct 08, 2024 8:27 am  
Question on getting the train back from Old Trafford into Wigan or Chorley.

I'm travelling up from London on Saturday by train then need to get to either Wigan or Chorley train station after the game. Has anyone got the train back before and what are the best options and likely waiting times outside the ground? I think I need to get a bus or tram into Manchester Oxford Road?

Good luck with that one :)

you may get a train to Wigan if you are lucky (they cancelled all trains back to Wigan until about 10.30 last year), and there are no trains running on one of the lines through Bolton (due to electrification works)

trying to assist though, but i wouldnt hold my breath that these run going off how bad they've been generally

Oxford Rd - 21.14 and 21.30 to Wigan
Piccadilly - 21.44 to Wigan (1 change)
Oxford Rd - 21.46 to wigan (2 changes)
rest rail replacement

Looks like Chorley could be your best bet with a train every 30 mins from Manchester Piccadilly from 21.00 through to 23.30

I'm in the same boat; risk one of those trains, or take the car?

Quote from Graham Lowe - "I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a tripple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union ......... but I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league!"

We've decided to go from Netwon-le-Willows this year due to rail replacement buses and lack of trains from Wigan. Loads of options to and from Newton and only takes 18 mins no stops to both Victoria and Piccadilly. It was a nightmare trying to get back to Wigan last year.

Fair point, i hadnt thought of Newton le Willows, even though i use it regular to travel to Chester to visit my daughter, and i've just checked the trainline, and there are plenty of trains / trains per hour

Thanks. I think Chorley looks the better option then.

The V1 and V2 buses runs from Manchester back up rhe east lancs might be a better option than trains.

Got two tickets in block W203 when they went on sale on Saturday night, but wondered why the block directly behind the sticks was not on sale, were they saving it for the general release or had it already been sold?

The victoria to newton le willows is also transpennine express , I find the much less likely to be cancelled like northern fail trains
