will it be any different than last year?well these above date's for the FA Cup day, to avoid Euston at all costs, this will test the highly trained staff and their contingency plans...
Wasn't there a rail strike on or around the date of last year's FA Cup final? (Saturday 3rd June 2023).will it be any different than last year?
I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Is the worry that two teams from the same city are playing? If so, don't worry, most Manchester United fans travel from Surrey or Heathrowwell these above date's for the FA Cup day, to avoid Euston at all costs, this will test the highly trained staff and their contingency plans...
yes and Wembley was still fullWasn't there a rail strike on or around the date of last year's FA Cup final? (Saturday 3rd June 2023).

Wonder if they’ll be one this year too?
Two strikes same month seems unlikely, two weeks from the other one.
Perhaps ASLEF will do a isolated strike on LNER, WMT though to make a point.
Did you come up with that joke yourself?I don't understand what you are trying to say here. Is the worry that two teams from the same city are playing? If so, don't worry, most Manchester United fans travel from Surrey or Heathrow
simple fact - when Manchester Untied beat Liverpool recently in an FA cup thriller that went to extra time my train home from Manchester was full of plastic man u fans who had left the ground BEFORE 90 minutes to get back south,Did you come up with that joke yourself?

Not everyone who's been to Old Trafford on a match day has necessarily been in to watch the game. Have seen any number of folk who've fairly obviously just been to the MUFC MegaTat store before boarding a tram quite soon after K.O. time (at Old Trafford Metrolink station) and headed for Piccadilly.simple fact - when Manchester Untied beat Liverpool recently in an FA cup thriller that went to extra time my train home from Manchester was full of plastic man u fans who had left the ground BEFORE 90 minutes to get back south,
This lot HAD been to the match. Jokingly comparing at what point before 90 mins they left the ground.Not everyone who's been to Old Trafford on a match day has necessarily been in to watch the game.

Running some extras. Couple of charters running as well.How on earth are Avanti going to manage this one?
Manchester United are an international brand and have fans across the world. The global population is around 8 billion whereas the population of Manchester is a little over half a million or around four orders of magnitude smaller, so logically it is extremely likely the majority of ManU fans live abroad or in the south of England.Did you come up with that joke yourself?
Will they get the crew to volunteer? Surely be a shortage given it’s a bank holiday weekend and it could effect Manchester Picc Traincrew depot?Running some extras. Couple of charters running as well.

Earlier services havent sold out yet, same day returns are nearing capacity.How on earth are Avanti going to manage this one?
Only seen the City one that usually runs when they are at Wembley, is there another one?Running some extras. Couple of charters running as well.
Stafford to Crewe is shutI wonder whether they might be engineering work then, meaning fewer services even if Euston is open.
So they travel to Manchester and leave before half time to get to Piccadilly before 90 minutes? BS.simple fact - when Manchester Untied beat Liverpool recently in an FA cup thriller that went to extra time my train home from Manchester was full of plastic man u fans who had left the ground BEFORE 90 minutes to get back south,
Whatever. They were comparing what time they left all of them in my carriage before 90 mins. Utter plastic.So they travel to Manchester and leave before half time to get to Piccadilly before 90 minutes? BS.
The cup game went to extra time so I assume If they had seats on specific train they had to leave early. Not that I am defending them in anyway shape or form.Whatever. They were comparing what time they left all of them in my carriage before 90 mins. Utter plastic.
Not half time. Full time. They left while a match with their biggest rivals was still underway. No excuse.
North Staffs will be busy!Stafford to Crewe is shut
The risk you take with an Advance ticket. At least it's not Newcastle, as LNER have abolished the alternative.The cup game went to extra time so I assume If they had seats on specific train they had to leave early. Not that I am defending them in anyway shape or form.
