How is everyone getting to Yeovil? No bridge inn, true blue says it's sold out already and public transport is a joke.

[Westbars Spireite]

The club needs to get their fingers out and put some more coaches on.

[Benno Spire]

Let’s get ourselves a convoy

Calm Down !
Give the Club a chance to organise more coaches !
Long distance games usually only require 1 Tru Blu coach and suddenly the demand has increased !
Hope they give priority to regulars......don't want another Solihull thread !!!

They are definitely coming out of the woodwork now. I never used to have problems getting on true blue but I seem to be a regular on bus 2 now.

Rail disruption planned for the 17th. Plan your journey carefully if coming by rail.

I don't particularly even want to go on True Blue as it sets off too late and stops at services too long but there's no other option. I was more asking whether anyone has found any other decent options

Hang on - it sets off too late and stops at services too long - a contradiction there.
Usual service stops are 30 - 45 mins and usually only one and none on the return.
Also they are not allowed to arrive more than 90 mins before k.o.

That's exactly what he means. It doesn't give you a day out. You sit on a coach all day, watch 90 minutes of football and then go home.

It's what some people want, but it's not for me.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Exactly this. I'm used to Bridge Inn so would prefer to get up early and make a day of it but if the club can put some more coaches on that looks like being the only option really

Only at the ground/town, can stop a few miles out at somewhere more palatable than a motorway service station whenever they like

If there is enough demand any enterprising person could contact Paul at Bridge Inn and get a coach company phone number and organise a coach

Fancy a Benno battle bus?

[spireitedave]

Fortunately there are enough of us happy with Tru Blu to make it viable.
If an enterprising person comes up with an alternative then everyone will be satisfied

Running from the Barrel but not running one to Yeovil due to Paul and Kimberly's personal commitments I think

No. The coaches are from the barrel in Brampton now.

That’s your preference, why do you think no Bridge travel.

You willing to pay extra for earlier coach.
