We had torrential rain going down to Wales on Friday. I was shocked at the amount of spray off the lorries. Wipers going twenty to the dozen :-0 :-0

Only 2 carriages both ways Von!
I had a horrendous experience on the way there. Had a real fright and didn't recover that well. And the way back too for different reasons. We couldn't get on that train.

It was about £32 for the 2 of us return. I thought it would be the answer as the station is right by the stadium. BIG MISTAKE!
