Its €7 each way and I have bought these legs: Dep Lille CHR at 11.37am and Arrive Lens at 12.19pm Dep Lens at 18.44pm and Arrive Lille CHR at 19.24pm NOTE - I expect the other two stations to be in absolute chaos, as the Fan Zone is situated about 100m away from both! |

Staying in Lille after the game as well.
Booked on the 12.42 train to Lens and the return at 17.54. Although I expect a free-for-all, so not sure if I will be able to actually get on those trains.
I'm booked on a bus to Charleroi the following morning at 06.35. So please keep the celebrations of a famous win over England to a minimum please!

That looks a bit too late for my liking - and I really don't fancy being anywhere near Flanders Station ... or Lille Europe, for that matter...
Just noticed that French rail are putting up a train from LENS to PARIS on the morning of Sunday 26 June at 1am to Paris Nord. In case we end up 3rd in the group (but only a 10% chance there).

They are putting on quite a few Late Euro2016 Specials........................ in event it goes to Penalties for any of the 3rd games I reckon they would delay train if required. |

Although I really need to be on that bus to Charleroi Airport to catch a flight to Toulouse (via La Rochelle) for our third group game :-)

Isn't charleroi to Carcassonne MUCH nearer? About 40 minutes train ride... That said, there is indeed a great flight on MONDAY to La Rochelle arriving at 1.30pm but the train connection to Toulouse pulls in at 7.30pm!! Ryan Air still have a Monday 20 JUNE (match-day) flight Charleroi to Carcassonne Dept 11.30am arrive 1.10pm for €26
Train Carcassonne to Toulouse Dept 3.36pm arrive Toulouse at 4.45pm for €16
You can even walk from Carcassonne airport to their train station in about 30 minutes ;-) |

8 of us staying in Lille, booked a return minibus to the ground. I agree with manulike re: the trains. Don't leave it too late from Lille Flandres. It will be chaos.

Just noticed that not only are the Slovakia v Russia Cat3 tickets still available on the portal - but you dont even need a Captcha thing no more!
Just click and collect - How annoying it that...

Could you just run through how to book in advance. Thanks. At the moment, the English part of SNCF site isn't working - but I remember the price as £7. On the same site, you can just choose any other EU country and pay €7 - assuming that you have a EURO FRIENDLY credit card - eg. Halifax Clarity... Fill in your required details and then opt for FREE BY POST - be sure to change the default France/Belgium to Grande Britaine... They get posted free of charge within 48 hours!
