| How To Get To Rugby From London |
Train: The Speedy Scrumdown
Yep, the train is your best bet. Buckle up for a quick and comfortable ride that'll have you saying "try" before you know it (terrible joke? We'll take it!). Trains depart from London Euston every 20 minutes, whizzing you to Rugby in as little as 55 minutes. That's faster than you can say "offside!"
Top Tip: Book your tickets in advance, especially if you're planning a weekend getaway, to snag the best deals and avoid a ruck at the ticket office (although, a good-natured ruck over the last pasty? Now that's something we can get behind).
Bus: The Budget Sidestep
Looking to save some pennies? The bus might be your scrum-mate. It takes a little longer than the train, clocking in at around 2 hours and 15 minutes, but it's a great option for the budget-conscious traveler. Plus, you might score some epic roadside snacks along the way – pasty anyone?
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
Word to the wise: Be prepared to share your legroom with fellow adventurers (unless you manage to snag the coveted double seat - winner!).
Car: The Solo Chariot
Fancy a road trip? Hitting the open road and blasting your favorite rugby anthems can be a right laugh. The drive from London to Rugby takes around 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending on traffic (dodge that Friday night M25 jam, mate!).
Heads up: Parking in central Rugby can be a bit of a scrum, so be prepared to do a lap or two (although, consider it a pre-game warm-up!).
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
