Looks like the earliest train from London gets into Rotherham for 11:57...unless anyone else has seen any different?

www.trainsplit.com is showing the same as well.

Megabus from London 1am gets you to Sheffield at 5am for under a tenner, breakfast at 24 hour McDonalds then train over Rotherham for mid morning?

Nothing suitable on Nat Express Coaches

Booked a cheap B'n'B in Sheffield way back in June last year when the fixtures were released and I saw Rotherham United away last match.

Travelling up on the Saturday and back on the Monday.

The way the league table is shaping up......it could be some weekend :cool:

They just introduced it this year, Liverpool to Edinburgh (via Manchester, Leeds, York and Newcastle) using their new Nova1 5 Carriage Trains built by Hitachi. 👍👍

Cheaper (advance) tickets than LNER/Cross-Country too...but more prone to service cancellations...Stopped overnight at my cousins after the match, arrived at Central this morning to get my booked TPE 8;21 train back to Edin,..service was cancelled, and the 9;21 TPE northbound was also a non-runner...eventually told by station staff that TPE tickets were being accepted on the 10;35 Cross-Country...so got back up eventually....just as well that I'd taken the whole day off graft..usually get back on the tools by mid-morning after a mid-week match....

I just jump on the next available train and have a chat with the train manager. Always works, regardless of operator
