Tube strike on Weds

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Just heard about this

This will really bugger up my plans for the England game. How the hell do I get to Wembley without using the tube?

 

[gullshark]

Clapham Junction -> Wembley Central.

or from the north

Watford Junction -> Wembley Central.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Train from Clapham.

 

[bigc]

And in a way that is surely a better route to take then having to go into central London and meander out on the tube?

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

That is the best route to go.

The problem is that everyone will be doing the same.

Is the strike definitely going ahead then or is it one of those things that will probably be called off come Tuesday evening?

 

[Yorkshire-Seagull]

Ok then, how about after the game, when I have to get back to my hotel at Heathrow

I was debating that with a friend, I think maybe this time it won't be called off.

There have been multiple strikes that have been averted in the last couple of years so I think Bob may well go through with it this time.

Before people moan about it happening, there has only been the one I can recall, in Sep 07.

I reserve my statutory right to moan, thanks

 

[Wozza]

Late KO too.

Oh, and a win is a formality, so it won't be very exciting.

Enjoy!

Don't worry, so will I. I mean I can easily get the bus into work but it means I have to get up earlier...

It was rather a mental day in London last time the strike was on, the roads were far busier and I had to deal with some useless letting agents while trying to dart round London via First Capital Connect(god help me) and the buses.

Hmmm, well I'm going to the England game but have the day off so was planning on going up to London late morning-ish for a wander around and a few eats/drinks.

Looks like I will just have to cope with buses

If you give it a bit of a think and the weather isn't too bad, you can have a decent wander about too.

Go up to London Bridge on FCC, a nice few drinks round the river/grub.

Jump back on FCC to go from L.Bridge to St Pancras, 5min walk to Euston, then get the Euston to Watford Junction train to get to Wembley Central.

Sorted, and NO need for buses

I shall be accompanied by another NSC poster, however, who wishes to visit the Science Museum for a bit so that will have to be worked in somehow. But other than that, there will mainly be eating and (even more so) drinking involved, so all suggestions for decent pubs, bars and so on are gratefully received.

If the Science Museum proves too complicated without the Tube running, I shall tell him to ram it and go to the pub instead

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Oh dear.

This could be a nightmare.

Science Museum could be worked in if you go to Victoria, you can walk it from there just about, and then you can walk from there to West Brompton to get the train up to Willesden Junction and head up to Wembley..

You're better than the TFL website

Nothing on there yet. Jubilee line up from London Bridge was my plan.

I try my best

The walk from Victoria to the South Kensington area is quite pleasant so it would be perhaps a blessing in disguise to have to walk it instead of tube it..
