(This way you won't have to change on the underground, which you would have to do if you stayed on the train till it got to Waterloo). These trains run roughly every 10 minutes, and it takes about half an hour to get to Vauxhall. >From Twickenham to Kings Cross it won't cost any more to buy your ticket on >the day, but from Kings Cross to Leeds, it's much cheaper to get a ticket in >advance. You can order one through the GNER website. http://www.gner.railsaver.co.uk/gner.htm I hope at least some of this is useful.

I am thinking of getting up to Leeds for the game and need some advice. Trains etc have really changed since I last lived in the UK. What is the best way to get to Leeds in time for the game and how much time should I leave for the journey? I will arrive at 6.30am and need to get from Heathrow to Twickenham (where I am staying) and then to Kings Cross I would imagine. I would prefer to go by train rather than bus as I will already have been traveling for 12 hours plus overnight. Tips on getting cheap train tickets would be welcome. Are there any restrictions on buying tickets for Leeds home games or can I just show up on the day and pay cash? I take it this game will not be sold out (unlike Spurs....) Pre-match drinking holes where listers meet?
