<p>That's a good point regarding the train as it parks near Seddon Park.</p>

<p>Expensive and slow - we looked at it for the RWC2011, but return cost was around $150 per person.</p>
<p>
That buys a lot of sober drivers</p> -

<p>Public transport my friend, trains ain't cheap</p>

<p>edit: Apparently I was wrong. $90 return. <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10757159'>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10757159</a></p> -

<p>Western Springs is I think a dead duck after Akl crickey said they would continue to play domestic cricket on EP#2. So really wanton Akl Council to develop it solely for tests.<br><br>
EP is much better now than in the past. Great viewing but even with 20k in it looks and sounds pretty empty.<br><br>
It was fucking awesome for CWC against Oz and SA tho.<br><br>
I wud happily get my jabs and drive down to Seddon park. Or even better catch a train. But I reckon money will talk which from NZCsperspective is fair enough</p>

<p>That's a good point regarding the jabs you never know what might be parked near Seddon Park.</p> -

<p>We used to do that in reverse (Ham->Auck) all the time in my student days.</p>

<p>If you wanted to use a bus, the transport centre is <500 m from Seddon Park.</p> -
What I figured was a charter train. They run excursions for all sorts of groups for a shit load less than $90 / return<br><br>
I was astonished and disappointed there wasn't something similar for the Lions/Maori match in 05. I had a single ticket and while I enjoyed match driving down not having a beer and then driving back in fog was less than average. -
