The Baggies have a sell-out 2,300-following making the trip to the Potteries for the crucial Midlands derby and British Transport Police estimate several hundred will be journeying by train.

But industrial action on Arriva Cross Country trains means that there will be a restricted service from Birmingham to Stoke and return.

The 18.07 service from Stoke is the last train back to New Street, Birmingham after the game.

The only route available after this time is an hourly London Midland service 28 minutes pas the hour to Stafford and then New Street.

Connections from Stafford to Birmingham New Street stop at Wolverhampton and Smethwick Galton Bridge.
