Christine Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Oh, I didn't notice that possibility, will do that! Or take the Express, because it's much quicker... Can I ask another stupid question? If I will use the Express from Paddington back to Heathrow, what time the trains leave? Their website says "non-stop every 15 minutes", but until how late? In the middle of the night too? Thanks for the advices! Their FAQs say the first train departs Paddington at 5:10 am but there is no info on last trains. What time are you travelling?

I need to be there very early Monday morning, 5.10 is too late so I need to take the last one in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treasa Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I popped down to the park today for a look about. Took the District line to Mile End. It was about 20 min walk from there to the venue. I tweeted a pic of the muddy ground, which was just inside one of the service entrances where there was a lot of traffic. One of the security guys said it wasn't so bad inside the venue but he reckoned by Sunday we would need wellies. The earth was very wet and soft all round the park. Anyway being a shorty I avoid flat shoes at all times but I've gone and bought a pair of wellies and I think I'm be wearing them unless by Saturday the venue looks dryer and less muddy.

This site says the last train is at 23:25. Not sure if it's reliable, but it sounds plausible. http://www.airwise.com/airports/uk/heathrow/by_train.html If Mika is on at 5 pm I guess you will have no problems getting back in time.

I think it will definitely be a case of wellies by Sunday after the Friday and Saturday crowds have been trampling about on the soft damp ground.

enigma Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Or maybe get a pair of these... ...to raise you up above all the mud? Although you'd probably have to attach big planks to the bottom of them to stop you sinking in, and that might spoil the effect a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Just thought this might be useful for non-London based people travelling to Lovebox, as they might not be aware. It shows which sections of the tube are disrupted or not running: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/emails/worksandclosures/Planned_closure_WE_17_JUNE_A4.pdf thank you. i still have to figure which line to take to my hotel (don't need to worry bout the venue, as my roommates will check out how to get there tomorrow), and this will definitely be helpful. i don't have wellies, so i'll just wear old sneakers that i can put in the washing machine when i get back. apart from that, i'll wear mud-coloured (i.e. brown) clothes, so the mud stains won't be so obvious.
