Nottingham Forest fan finally gets refund after huge queues forced him to miss train

A Nottingham Forest fan was unable to board his train ahead of the team's play-off match with Huddersfield Town. Shaun Jones, of Nottingham, and his wife had pre-booked their tickets to the capital more than a month in advance for Sunday, May 29.

Despite getting to the station over an hour early, they were unable to board the train due to the huge queues that reached as far as Hooters. Shaun said: "We had pre-booked our tickets first class on the 10 past 11 train and obviously we realised it would be busy."

He continued: "A friend of mine texted me about half past 8 saying he was queuing all the way round to Hooters. We got to the station to be informed that we couldn’t board our pre-booked train and because the queue was still at Hooters it was unlikely we would make it in time for the game.
