Carnegie Challenge Cup Final 29 August: Warrington Wolves vs. Huddersfield Giants

LONDON -

ATTN: North West Media

Rugby League fans intending to support Warrington Wolves at Wembley on Saturday 29 August are advised not to travel to the game with Virgin Trains.

Network Rail will be carrying out work in the Crewe and Rugby areas and rail journeys between the north-west and London Euston will be severely disrupted in both directions on Saturday 29, Sunday 30, and the morning of Monday 31 August.

There will be no direct train services, journey times will be considerably longer than usual, and there is no guarantee that anyone travelling with Virgin Trains will arrive in time for the start of the match.

Fans are advised to make other travel arrangements, and can check alternative routes using other train operators by visiting www.nationalrail.co.uk or calling +44(0)8457-48-49-50, though these routes will take longer than the usual direct Virgin services. Charter train and coach travel can also be organised through Warrington Wolves by calling +44-(0)871-220-0260 or visiting the Wolfware shop at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
