            Also, you might find the Public Transport board has some discussion / info on it a bit nearer the time
 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=225
 If your journey on that day is critical (as it sounds as if it is) I'd suggest you start exploring alternative forms of transport such as National Express etc to see if they offer alternatives0
