Once again Megabusplus have the joint train/coach option to Yorkshire via East Midland Parkway station, and not as cheap as National Express, but anyway, once again, you won't get back until the following morning!

Friday August 27th

London St. Pancras 08.15 Bradford Mayo Ave. 11.45 - £9

Saturday August 28th

Bradford Mayo Ave. 13.30 London St. Pancras 17.20 - £9

To book this service go to: www.megabus.com.



Mayo Road stop is outside town on the A6177 top right, will have to get further transport which is available close to the Morrisons!

The new date of Bank Holiday Friday evening is crap, with getting up there now from £50.25 for an off peak senior return up to £67 for the rest of us; not recommended!

Chris Hawkridge on http://footballgroundguide.com/bradford_city/ suggests; 'supporters travelling via Leeds should catch the Leeds - Bradford Forster Square service (two trains per hour during the day) rather than those to Bradford Interchange. Forster Square is only 10 minutes walk from the ground'.

Examples (all change at Leeds)

Friday, August 27th

London King's Cross 11.35 - Bradford Forster Square 14.30
London King's Cross 15.35 - Bradford Forster Square 18.31

Saturday, August 28th

Bradford Forster Square 09.31 - London King's Cross 12.38
Bradford Forster Square 10.19 - London King's Cross 13.45

If going by train into Bradford Interchange, tha main station, it is quite a walk to the ground (20 minutes). Either take a taxi (£3.50) or alternatively the bus station is located next to the train station (Bus No's 622, 623, 626 or 662).
