[Travel] EDF P&R (Portland Road) for West Ham & Newcastle

[trueblue]

It was very good. Would use it more or less every match if it was available.

No one actually checked my ticket yesterday either way as a walk on passenger only (Foghorn, few beers and stroll up) Out of interest, did anyone else have their ticket checked?

I had mine checked on entry to the car park, then again I showed to bus driver. Nothing on way back.

Mine was checked but they more just wanted to see a ticket rather than actually checked the ticket over.

 

[Winker]

Didn’t notice these on offer either. Has anyone on here got Newcastle ones yet or is the Sold Out button actually just a holding thing for when they’re released? WHU didn’t become available until the week of the game. Grrrr.

I got my Newcastle ones at the same time as the Wham ones. If you are just walking up I would just suggest waving your bit of paper at the steward as mine wasn't checked at all.

(nobody tell PBOBE)

No bus driver was checking, only car park

No one checked my bus ticket either - I used this P&R both ways with a booking for West Ham.

I guess I don’t want to bump someone who’s got to drive afterwards. I’ll use the regular buses next week.

When does last bus leave from Portland Road

Thanks for posting, very glad to get a ticket for this.

When does last bus leave from Portland Road

We were on a bus that left Portslade at just after 4.30pm last weekend. I’m not sure whether this was the last one, but we only made it to the Amex about 15 mins before kick off, so I wouldn’t want to leave it any later than that. Hoping to get to Portslade earlier this weekend, but that depends on the M25.

No more listings for EDF which is a shame.

Does anyone know what the parking situation is for the Bournemouth game? Says no parking available due to Uni moving in. Will other sites be made available?

EDF was made available quite late compared to the other parking options so still time for it to be available for Athens and Bournemouth matches.

I see no reason why it shouldn't be used for Bournemouth, especially with other parking out of action.

As much as it would be useful after Athens with a 10pm ish finish and policing decisions yet to be made I can't see it. Staff will still be working at EDF from at least 5-6 although I'm not sure how many. Whenever I'm in an office almost anywhere these days it seems to be about 10% full.

Yeah good point about office hours and EDF actually using their own car park. Fingers crossed for the Bournemouth match though.

 

[stewart12]

would love this to be available for the Ajax match which I'm going to

 

[Winker]

I heard a steward telling someone that it would be used at every weekend match.

 

[Live by the sea]

The answer is that it won’t be used for any mid week games including Thursday but will continue to be used for weekend matches .

I spoke to one of the organisers or at least she had a supervisor badge on her top .
