You stop off at a service station i will say 6 hours

Then you would be at the ground for 12.30pm - I tell you now, that will not happen !!!!

This will be your route plan:

Leave Walkers 6.30am
Arrive Leic Forest East Services 6.45am
Leave Leic Forest East Services 7.00am
Arrive Knowle Services 8.00am
Leave Knowle Services 8.15am
Arrive Lowerick Services 9.00am
Leave Lowerick Services 9.15am

You get the general picture :icon_wink









Arrive Plymouth FC 2.15pm :icon_bigg

Train is an option, will save a few hours

If you booked in advance you could have got a cheap ticket.

Trains

The standard 'Saver Return' is £92.50.

The cheapest ticket I can find currently available is £72.90 (This goes the same way as the ticket above)

You would need a CDR from Leicester > Birmingham = £7.90
You would need a Value Advance 1st Class single in each direction from Birmingham > Plymouth = £32.50 each

Times:
Leic 6.47am Arrive Birm 7.46am
Birm 8.10am Arrive Plym 11.51am

Plym 17.25pm Arrive Birm 20.57pm
Birm 21.15pm Arrive Leic 22.11pm

I've been looking into this, and I can save another £20 on the price above.

The train times are the same, and you wouldn't need to change trains once on board at Birmingham/Plymouth

If you buy the following, it will be £52.90

CDR Leicester > Birmingham = £7.90
CDR Birmingham > Cheltenham Spa= £15.00
CDR Cheltenham Spa > Bristol Temple Meads = £7.00
ADV SGL Bristol Temple Meads > Exeter St Davids (9.44am going and 18.19pm coming back) = £16.00 (£8 each)
CDR Exeter St Davids > Plymouth = £7.00

You have no restrictions bar the advance singles, but you will already be on the train they are scheduled for.
