Tupsley Bull has been researching train travel to Sheffield from Hereford for the FA Cup-tie next Saturday.
Here are his thoughts.
Hereford to Worcester £7-90
Worcester to Derby £14-60 (via Birmingham)
Derby to Sheffield £8-80
Total £ 31-30
Times:
Depart Hereford 8.40, 9.40 or 10.40 (this doesn't leave much time for a beer)
Arrives Sheffield 11.41, 12.41 or 13.41
Change at Birmingham with a 19 minute wait.
Journey home:
Depart Sheffield 17.54 Arrives Hereford 21.03(12min wait in Brum)
OR
Depart Sheffield 19.24 Arrives Hereford 22.35(32min wait in Brum)
Might be busy on Saturday morning. Will be worth getting your tickets in advance from the station!!
