West Brom Away 31.12.17 - Travel
Hi all,
Ive got my tickets for West Brom away on new years eve but was just looking at trains and its a very reduced train service after the game.
The game will finish at roughly 6:15pm but then the next train from the hawthorns towards Birmingham city centre isn't until 7:14pm and then 8:25pm.
So can imagine the station being very busy with only one train an hour and a lot of people trying to get back towards the city centre?
Are there any other train routes that may be quicker??

You could take the Metro tram from the stadium to Birmingham New Street

Either that or sell the tickets and go down the pub and get shyte faced on the proceeds, you'll have a far happier time.

I have very little sympathy with anyone going and enduring this game.mattyj3nks wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 10:14 amHi all,

I don’t understand why the need to continue with a 4.30pm kick off though, now that the Spurs game has been cancelled!! At least kick off at 4pm.

It's only a 4 1/2 mile walk from The Hawthorns to New Street and there's bound to be a couple of pubs open on the way.
