Is it possible to make the England vs Latvia game on Monday night in London and take a train to Manchester for my 10:00 flight the next morning?
Subject: Feasibility of Attending England vs Latvia and Catching a Morning Flight
Hi there,
I’m a traveler from the US, arriving in Manchester on March 19th and departing on March 25th. I’m hoping to catch the England vs Latvia game on March 24th, which is scheduled for 19:45 and will likely conclude around 22:00.
I’m aware that the timing is tight, especially since I have a 10:00 flight from Manchester the following morning. I’ve heard that trains don’t operate late at night, so I’m concerned about whether I can make it to Manchester after the game.
Do you think it’s realistic for me to pull this off, or should I reconsider my plans? Thank you for your advice!
It sounds like a fun experience, but you’re right; your schedule is quite tight. The England vs Latvia game on March 24th starts at 19:45 and will likely finish around 22:00. Unfortunately, trains from London to Manchester do have limited late-night service. The last direct train typically leaves around 21:30, which means you could miss it if the game runs late or if there are delays.
If you’re determined to catch the game, you could look into alternative transportation, such as booking a late-night coach or considering a taxi or rideshare service, though those can be quite costly and take longer. However, that’s quite risky if you’re trying to make a 10:00 flight that next morning.
A safer option might be to enjoy the game and then find accommodation in London for the night before heading to Manchester early in the morning. That way, you can relax and enjoy both the match and your flight. Ultimately, it’s all about weighing the experience of the game versus the stress of travel. Good luck!
