Christine Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 What's wrong with London Transport now? There was a tube strike after the Sadler's Wells gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 They are making "improvements" ready for 2012. Unfortunately it has been ****ing up everyone's weekends since 2009 Like Blackfriars. That's not opening till next year and I think that's been closed since last year. Hmm...I've just looked at my tube map because im staying at the battersea travelodge. The station nearest my hotel is Clapham Junction, so in order to get there I need to get the district line at Hammersmith, go to west Brompton and get the overground, right? Does anyone know how long that will take? It will take me about 10minutes walking from Clapham Junction to my hotel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurel Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I went to victoria - eventually ... take train from there ... it's only about 10 mins if that ... Twas easy apart from the fact that nothing tubewise is going from Liverpool Street - very limited service on the Central line. Taxi queues are really bad too ... just letting you know ... I waited over 40 mins for a cab at Liverpool Street Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazGirl Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 can someone PLEASE explain this whole train from victoria to clapham junction please? Or buses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 can someone PLEASE explain this whole train from victoria to clapham junction please? Or buses? Why are you staying in Clapham Junction anyway? Wouldn't you be halfway home by the time you get to CJ after the gig? You take a Southwest train from CJ to Victoria. http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 can someone PLEASE explain this whole train from victoria to clapham junction please? Or buses? It's very easy. There are many trains that go from victoria to clapham junction all the time, and it takes only a few minutes. Just get your travelcard/ticket as usual and once you're in victoria, look at the boards for trains stopping at Clapham. I very often see them go from platforms 9, 10 and 11 but I'm sure that they go from plenty more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 okay thanks Sara! On a different topic..: What's the congestion charge? How much is the carpark opposite the venue? What time does the carpark shut? Congestion charge is £8 a day for cars, Monday - Friday from 6am-6pm (or thereabouts). Can't help you with the others, but Rose always parks in the King's Mall car park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
