Talking of Kidderminster.. How busy is the SVR likely to be this Bank Holiday Monday?? Any special events, which are likely to cause extra traffic?

I ask, as I am going to the football (Kiddie Harriers vs Cambridge Utd) and need to know if I should leave earlier than planned. Of course, if I get there early, I can have a look at the trains on display. As the ground is near the railway!!

thanks

Don't bother with the trains - get some Midlands Mild down yer in the King and Castle and head up to Agborough to enjoy their legendary catering!
