Council plea to train company not to leave FA cup fans stranded
The Leader of Wigan Council has written to Sir Richard Branson to ask Virgin Trains to reconsider rail schedules which could leave hundreds of Latics’ supporters stranded in London after the FA Cup Final.
Lord Peter Smith has asked if Virgin could provide a later train service to allow Wigan Athletic fans to enjoy the match through to the final whistle, without fear of missing the last train.
Wigan Athletic Football Club has already expressed its concerns about the scheduling of trains back from Wembley.
