GWR are running increased capacity on existing routes to carry the Green Army to Wembley, as well laying on extensions to services that typically start at Bristol.
The club has also released initial details of coach travel to the Home of Football on May 30, when Argyle play AFC Wimbledon in Sky Bet League 2 Play-Off Final.
