    There is a bus replacement between Doncaster and goole due to emergency track repairs according to northern rail website they are running an express bus between the 2 stations

    Any ideas on how much time this would add onto the journey?


    its only half hour up the road

    Cheers.

    Just got this of twitter from northern rail re bus replacements on Saturday between Doncaster and goole hope it helps.
    The buses are hourly at 10minutes past each hour and the journey time is approx 50 minutes

    No mention of this on trainline.com so far.

    Are NR saying 50 mins Doncaster to Hull or 50 mins Doncaster to Goole and then a train from Goole to Hull?

    That doesn't affect people who have booked direct from King's Cross to Hull, does it?

    Yes I'm afraid the Bit of track that is having to be replaced is on the Doncaster to hull line so everyone will have to change at Doncaster and get the bus replacements to goole.

    Probably. Another line they could use, also has engineering work and I'm not sure about any alternatives (might be an option to go via Lincolnshire but this could be slower).

    Same But I'm only driving because I have to go to Lincoln after the game instead of coming back to Grimsby

    Ah, Goddammit. Was hoping it was just people who'd just booked a cheap return to Donnie.

    Anyway, thanks for the heads up. Will take the positives as it could mean a chance to stock up on supplies.

    just had an email from Northern rail saying trains going via different route so no bus replacement needed. see below.

    Thank you for your e-mail, which I received recently.

    Trains travelling to Brough and Hull will travel via a different route so you do not require a change of services to a Bus replacement.

    There will be an extended journey time but you would have to check with the train operator who operates the service, e.g Hull Trains, or East Coast Trains.

    I trust this information will help you further.

    Probably even a few more than that. Fixture only confirmed a couple of weeks ago, no price increase on the day, large allocation, I haven't felt under any pressure to buy a ticket yet and have had the train booked since the FA Cup situation was decided.

    Which route would that be because trains going via Selby would have to terminate at Selby on Saturday and replacement buses from Selby to Hull.

    Replacement bus service is a pain in the arse, will add 20 mins onto the journey probably
