As we ( the London Branch ) will be going from Marylebone to Snow Hill, the boozer we'll be using is The Old Royal, 53 Church Street, B3 2DP, 5 minutes walk from Snow Hill Station. Snow Hill to The Hawthorns is every 10 minutes, journey time 5 minutes. We should get in The Old Royal about 12.50.

Re: WBA Saturday September 9 2006
If you are intending to travel to this match by train, please consider allowing extra time for your journey. The line between Coventry and Birmingham is closed for the day and although the Leicester to Birmingham service does not use this route, there may be delays because the Virgin West Coast service from Euston to New Street is being diverted via Nuneaton and therefore sharing with Central Trains the fairly restrictive route between Nuneaton and Birmingham. With the number of trains on the line being increased by a factor of three, there is plenty of scope for services to be delayed so don't leave it until the last minute.
For the same reason, passengers from London should consider using the Chiltern Services from Marylebone to Birmingham Snow Hill, just as RS is doing (it's cheaper this way too - and GroupSave tickets are also available making it cheaper still; please pm me if you are travelling from London and are not already a member of a group of 4).

New Street to Snow Hill is about ½ a mile, but allow at least 20 minutes because the streets will be busy. See the map. As you come through the barriers out of the station, look for a set of escalators in front of you. At the top of the escalators, turn left and continue in that direction until you leave the shopping centre. Soon after you reach the street, you will cross New Street and carry on up the hill (Corporation Steet). Turning left, right and then left again from Corporation Street will bring you into Colmore Row where you will find the entrance to Snow Hill station.
The Hawthorns railway station and tram stop is about 300 yards from the ground - follow the crowds.

Leicester City are advising fans to plan their journey to West Bromwich Albion with care on Saturday.
Roadworks on the M6, which are due to run until December, could result in increased travel times on the day of the game.
The Highways Agency have contacted the club to advise that resurfacing work continues on the motorway in and around the Birmingham area on two separate section of the road.

It should be pointed out that these road works will not only affect fans travelling from Leicester but also those travelling from the M6 North where there are works between J9 and J8. This means you, PFKAetc!!
