Advance warning

Due to planned engineering work the lines in the Southampton Central area will be closed.

So this means people travelling to Southampton from Waterloo will have to use a rail replacement bus service between Eastleigh & Southampton.

    although had a quick look Eastleigh to Southampton is less than a 10 min drive admittedly a lot in same boat but a cab direct from Eastleigh to the ground could be the play.

    Surely you're better off getting the return coach provided by the club then.

    Poor work by @clive :)for not advising of this.   I think you should take over the train information duties.

    No......too big to get up the Hamble. You want the yacht We are in Trouble.

    Eastleigh station to central Southampton c. £17 in an Uber - but they'll need to be a lot of Ubers and taxis available.

    If I lived in South London, I'd be driving, parking up in the city centre (plenty available) and walking the 15mins to the ground.
