Not sure if this should go in here but I'm looking for some suggestions if anyone has any.

 

I want to stop outside of London proper (think Watford/Oxford/reading areas) because I'll be driving down the Saturday and hoping to train it in to wembley from there.

 

Anyone have any kind of suggestions for best places for a bit of civilization still, but out of the rat race for driving purposes.

 

Few options mate, I've lived down here over 9 years, Watford good shout. Standard town really but you got a train 15 mins into London or the tube so both easy. Reading i lived there for nearly 6 years, again 24 mins direct to Paddington.

 

Best options Harrow on hill, few stops from Wembley, uxbridge on met line too and easy access or Watford.

Rumours of a rail strike for the final weekend FFS.  If they want to cause maximum disruption, I suppose that’s it.

 

Meeting tomorrow apparently FFS.

Yeah just posted that. They will strike that day it’s all about maximum disruption. 
 

tho I don’t know how it works as the day after the Southampton home tie was a rail strike and I still managed to get a train from Newcastle to Edinburgh so some services might still run

I live a lot closer to London. But the strikes have meant Fulham and Arsenal away.  We’ve had to drive. No fucking chance I’m driving there and back for this. So might have to start looking at accommodation a bit further out that is on a decent tube line.

Doesn't the strike affect the tube aswell?

Ignoring any potential strikes for a second, if people are still looking for trains at reasonable prices, go Newcastle > Leeds then Leeds > London. There’s a tonne of availability and it’s way cheaper… plus it’s only about 30 mins longer overall.

For many it's an all for one thing. Seems a daft way of doing things though, you'd think group bookings would all be classed as the period of the lowest scoring applicant rather than all having to be in the same period.

 

 

 

I've just re read the original email and it does state that everyone applying in a group has to be in the same application period.

Some will still run, normally 4 per hour in each direction between Edinburgh and KX.

Thanks. Good to know. I had bought a coach ticket for after Southampton but sacked it off and got a train ticket when I found out they were on.

I see fans have been getting ticket info from Toon Polls and Burnsie. It'd be decent if there was a group of people who could seek clarity on this sort of thing, they could call them a trust or something like that.

Agree to a point, but the club could have just made it sufficiently clear in the first place like.

Can someone post a link to this alleged possible rail strike ? 
 

iirc they need to give at least 2 weeks notice. But realistically they’d not announce over a weekend so we should know tomorrow either way.

If you drive down to London / eg outskirts 

 

Where is the best place to go / park if you want to get on the underground to get to Wembley 

 

Or a very handy train station close enough to get a train / sprinter type into / close to Wembley 

 

don’t want to drive right into London but I was thinking of driving close enough (not to get caught in all the London traffic) but not to far away (if that makes sense) 

 

any help Would be appreciated 

 

At first glance I was thinking about Watford ? As a sprinter train option ?
