London to Burnley Trains

[dazzabee]

Thanks to our "wonderful" friends at Sky our game away at Burnley is now a 1.30pm KO on Sunday 5 April.

Trains from London do not arrive until 1.11pm leaving Kings Cross at 9.03 - nothing earlier. Unless I am missing something. HELP!

That's ok, the trains will run perfectly on time so you'll have 19 mins to walk from the station, across the field (Burnley is basically a field with a few wattle and daub shacks) to their magnificent stadium. Just watch out for viking invaders up in that area.

Here's a map of Turf Moor to help you...

You MAY be able to get to Doncaster on an earlier train, and then onto ayup Burnley from there. (That was me trying to be Yorkshire there really isn't a place called ayup Burnley, it's just Burnley . )

It's a bit of a fecker to get to. I live oop north and was thinking I could easily get a train from Manchester but there only seem to be direct trains from Preston or Leeds/Doncaster, so will probably end up driving.
