Wagn supports Robbie Williams concert goers

Wagn has introduced a special ticket to ensure that customers attending the Robbie Williams concerts at Knebworth House on August 1st, 2nd, 3rd 2003, have a safe and comfortable journey home. It is estimated that 20,000 people each day will travel to the concert by train.

The ticket, which will cost £9 return per person, will also act as a boarding pass for the return journey, as no-one will be allowed onto Stevenage station after 22:30 without one. Tickets must be purchased in advance and numbers are strictly limited. To purchase tickets please visit the WAGN website, www.wagn.co.uk

The ticket is valid on Great Northern trains to Stevenage from any Great Northern station, bounded by London Kings Cross, Peterborough and Cambridge and return. (including London Moorgate on Fridays only). In addition they are valid on GNER services from London Kings Cross and Stevenage only.

For journeys to Stevenage on each day many trains will be strengthened, and all Great Northern services will stop at Stevenage. There is no alteration to GNER services.

Wagn is advising passengers to board the first train made available to them and are doing all they can to ensure customers have a safe and enjoyable trip home.
