Official Away Travel - Northern Rail Final : Tue Jun 21, 2011 8:51 am  

To all supporters,

As in last years Grand Final coach tickets must be purchased prior to the day. See official club website for further details.

Coaches will depart from The Shay Stadium at 9.30am, with the last coach leaving at 10.00am. Coach boarding will be based on a queue system, once a coach is filled they depart.

Queue entry is via the East Stand Concourse, and the queue will run along the pitch side of the East Stand, with boarding next to the North Terrace. The coach departure details from The Shay Stadium are the same as in the 2010 Grand Final.

Coaches will then travel direct to Blackpool with expected arrival time before 12pm, to give people chance to spend some time in Blackpool soaking up the atmosphere in the lead up to kick-off at 5pm.

Coaches will return from Blackpool 15 mins after the trophy presentation (hopefully with the Northern Rail Cup).

For any further information on coach travel please contact Neil on 07714488080

I had heard they were making enquiries about trains, Seems now they are not, which i find disapointing.
Blackpool by train would be far preferable, especially since Neils coaches invariably don't have toilets and Blackpool to Halifax is a well used line, this is similar to the Odsal coaches they were gonna put on, and maybe needs thought? Peoples own choice i suppose..

I think they call that National Express....


Considering it's the Northern RAIL cup, what would be so difficult in the sponsors giving it the big push with regards to travel to & from the final ?

For goodness sake, how complicated it must be to order a special train, how many carriages does Neil book to start with. There is a train from Halifax every hour at 07 past the hour starting at 09.07 it takes approx 1hr 30 mins. There are two trains back after the game. Go on one of these and make it a "special" train. http://www.metrojourneyplanner.info/jou ... 1L18078474 Come to think of it, I wonder why Neil hasn't organised a "special" space shuttle, or perhaps a "special" harrier jet.
