Crystal Palace FC co-owner Jeremy Hosking is a prominent collector of vintage steam trains and we are delighted to be able to announce that Jeremy is organising a steam train journey to and from Southampton for our final league game of the 2015/2016 season on Sunday May 15th 2016.

It is planned that the train will be hauled by the recently restored “Battle of Britain Class” locomotive “Lord Dowding” which was built in 1946 and served on the Southern Railway until taken out of service in 1967. This locomotive was named after the Commanding Officer of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain who is credited with having played a crucial role in Britain's aerial defence and, consequently, the defeat of Hitler’s plans to invade Britain in World War Two.

Return tickets from London to Southampton Central station are priced between £216-242, see below, (inc VAT) and include your match ticket, light refreshments on the outward journey and dinner with complimentary wines and beer on the return journey. Alan Pardew and the Crystal Palace squad will travel on the train back from Southampton.


Combined match ticket + train ticket, only 200 places available.

Wednesday 20th April: Open to all season ticket holders and paid members, no loyalty points required. 1 match ticket and 1 train ticket per person

Looks like being an amazing trip for those who are into history, Steam Trains and Palace.
Not cheap, I know, but I have been through the costings with Jeremy and he's actually subsidising the trip to the tune of about £100 per person out of his own pocket.
