Beleive the Castres Edinburgh kick off is 1845 local and the last train back to Toulouse is at 1956. Is there any other method of return post game?

Didn`t realise trains so infrequent. We`re billoted in Castres so can stay on the beer for a post match celebration before heading back to Toulose the next day. :D

I booked 2 nights in Toulouse before I checked the trains. With the intention of watching Glasgow Toulouse there Friday night. Are most people staying both nights in Castress?

Do you mean watching Glasgow vs Toulouse in a Toulouse pub?

We are staying both nights in Castres. If the partying is half as good as last time, it'll be a great weekend :airborne: :absolute:

Yeh in pub in Toulouse, could cancel my Toulouse hotel booking but worried first train from Castre on Sunday Morning may not get me back to Toulouse in time to get to airport for my 1120 flight as it is due in to Toulouse at 0920. What hotel in catres are people using?

Five of us staying 2 nights in Hotel Europe in Castres. Seems central and reasonably priced.

Have decided to risk the Sunday morning train and changed my booking to Hotel Renaissance Castres for 2 nights. Anyone know any good pubs?

Last time we were there the Irish Bar was good - I'm hoping they'll be showing the other games in there! Also, the cafes in the main square were good during the day. It's not that big a place - you'll find the bars fairly easily - and the rest of the Edinburgh supporters. :)

Hi Malkster
Ordered on line and picked them up on Friday. Ticket office were keen not to post out as if lost in post - can`t replace them.
