Heard trains were booking up/getting pricey. . . . www.megabus.com might be an option (or www.nationalexpress.co.uk)

Have looked at trains, return for 60 pounds

I'm doing the same and getting the train from Paddington. 67 pounds for the train but was a much more attractive option than a bus which could take 4 hours. The train only takes 2 hours.

12 of us heading up at 9.46, coming back 10.15 Sunday

Hey all,

I'm doing the London -> Cardiff train as well.
Here are the details for anyone interested. By the way I'm leaving early on Sunday because I couldn't get accommodation. This happened the last time I went to a game in Cardiff (world cup 2007) - the city just can't cater for that many fans.
Anyways, I won't care as long as we win.

Long time listener, first time caller here.

For anyone else soaked in poverty, you can get a Megabus for a tenner return. Drops you near the Castle as is my understanding. It's nearly too cheap...

Now to find a tent...
