As a supporter of Charlton Athletic I am not particularly happy with the lack of trains from London on Sundays that would get them (of which there seem to be a fair few) to Sheffield for their game at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane, which is a noon kick-off. Not a problem for me as I live in Sheffield. The following possible rail options seem to be:
First possible train:
0820 ex-Euston, arrive Sheffield 1207. Changing at Stockport.
First possible route Chesterfield option.
0900 ex-St Pancras, arrive Sheffield 1232. Changing at Nottingham.
First possible direct service.
0939 ex-St Pancras, arrive Sheffield 1241.
Surely it would not be that hard for EMT to put on an extra earlier train given that there is likely to be the demand for it.
