Title: Sunday closing Post by: grahame on July 10, 2018, 13:47:27 From The BBC (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44777637)
Quote Supermarkets Aldi and Lidl say they will close stores early on Sunday if England get through to the World Cup final - because "football's coming home". The chains have promised all staff in stores in England they can go home at 15:00 BST on Sunday 15 July so they can watch the match. Now some are asking whether other supermarkets will follow suit. Looking wider than supermarkets - what other businesses and services should consider closing early on Sunday? Title: Re: Sunday closing Post by: JayMac on July 10, 2018, 13:56:44 Nobody suggest GWR.
They barely open on a Sunday as it is! Title: Re: Sunday closing Post by: Timmer on July 10, 2018, 14:20:07 Nobody suggest GWR. :D :D :DThe thought never even crossed my mind ;) Title: Re: Sunday closing Post by: RichardB on July 10, 2018, 14:33:08 Let's come back to this thread after the game tomorrow. It will either be irrelevant then - or very relevant indeed.

Title: Re: Sunday closing Post by: ray951 on July 11, 2018, 12:38:27 I see Virgin Trains have lifted all ticket restrictions today so that people can get home in time for tonight's game.
I suppose most of those travelling to Glasgow won't be taking up the offer :) ;D ;) Title: Re: Sunday closing Post by: Western Pathfinder on July 11, 2018, 13:08:34 GWR have put the stickers on another train today,
ITS COMING HOME along with the names of the whole England football team ! So I've tweeted them and asked if they might lift ticket restrictions to help people home.
