[Lady Whistledown]

Yeah seems the smart thing to do What train is everyone on at Stratford ?

Seems to be ranging from about half 8 onwards, depending on how hardcore you are

Lots on the (I think) 0938. Gets in about half 11. Ish.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Carrow Road is now largely surrounded by retail parks and apartments, with strict controls on parking. The station is close by and relies on the same car parks, so parking on a Saturday PM is not quite as easy as one would hope, plus it can get congested. I suggest looking on the Football Ground guide, allowing plenty of time and be prepared to walk 20 mins or so from one of the many car parks dotted around the City.

One option for parking is at County Hall, it has easy access and is signposted from the A11/A47 Norwich bypass, with a comfortable 20 mins walk to/from Carrow Road. Handy if you are looking for a swift-ish getaway after the game. However it is a popular car park, so do not arrive too late.

Those travelling by train would be well advised to allow plenty of extra time as the Norwich - Liverpool St line is notoriously unreliable at the best of times, plus I note earlier posts mention there is also engineering work. Fingers crossed that you will be ok. The good news is the station is only half a mile from the footie and well placed for various watering holes.

Have a safe journey. 3 points would be very nice too.

Yep. £26 first class return. Pretty certain I can drink my body weight in tea to make it even better value too.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

First Class for me too, and I believe Nail-Z Gull.

Keep the noise down in Standard, eh chaps?

 

[theboybilly]

A quick heads-up: the TfL website is showing that there is a bus replacement on part of the Jubilee line and that therfore the preferred route from London Bridge to Stratford is via the Northern Line and Central Lines (changing at Bank)

Slightly off-topic but what pubs are people drinking in before the match?
