dufresne Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Just been looking at the track closures on the weekend in question. There is NO circle line operating on Saturday or Sunday, and the District line is closed pretty much east of Earl's Court. This makes it a bit more complicated getting to EC from Victoria (where my bus arrives) so I will have to go by Green Park I'm sure more people will be arriving at Victoria on buses or trains - just be sure to leave extra time for your journey !!

lams9999 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks Dufresne for letting us know about these tube problems. Arriving at Waterloo, I will have to do the same thing as you do, going to Green Park and change tube there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drebble Darkwing Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for the heads up Dufresne. I will be arriving at Liverpool Street so I can the central to Holburn then the piccardilly to Earl's Court instead of my usual circle lie. Thanks again.

Stacey Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for that! We would usually get off at Embankment but now we are going to have to get off at Warterloo instead and change at Green Park. Glad I checked for info here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobo1979uk Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanx for the info. Coming from euston so can take an easy detour onto the picadilly line. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayley88 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Arghhh! Me and my friends have no clue where to get off and what trains/buses to get on! AND we don't no where the convention is either! I hate trains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tube map. To be fair, this isn't new news; somebody had already mentioned this back in mid-June, and I'd posted about it on the back of it then (post no. 9 in http://showmastersonline.com/forums/index....owtopic=33006#). Probably won't add much more than 10 minutes to anybody coming in to Victoria, and may be a good excuse to investigate coming in to Clapham Junction (for those coming from the south) or Watford (for those coming from the north) and taking the surface train line to West Brompton... If thebayleyeffect would care to give us some sort of a clue where their group is coming from, some of the kind souls on this forum might just give them some helpful hints on how to get there - but we do need more of an idea where you're starting from other than not-Earls'-Court (and presumably not just-around-the-corner-from-it either ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooo people can help me? YAY! Erm well we are coming from the north west, Wilmslow specifically speaking. I think we are going on Sat early morning 5am ish i think, i wanted to go on the Sunday but the train isn't till 9am ish and won't get into London until 12 ish and that's probably too late to see the big names that can only do that day i.e. Hayden P and Patrick S. So we may go on the Sat and then stay over somewhere, which means more organising as i don't no London or the area at all and so finding accomodation close to the convention will be hard as i imagine most places are booked up now. But anyways, we are going by train, and what with a few changes and stuff not sure what to do when we get closer 2 London and there may be lots more changes or buses that we have to get on. Someone help? Anyone from the Manchester area that could come with us? But any general help on the train issue and even the accomodation issue would be soo helpful. Thanks all. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Ooooooooh ! Get her !! Sorry for not reading the whole forum And there was me thinking that one couldn't sneeze in even the darkest corner of the most obscure thread in this forum without you leading the chorus of "gesundheit"... - my faith in your omniscient ubiquity is shattered I know it won't take a fortnight to make detour, but as the posts here prove, it's good to know in advance... Aye tis true, and forewarned is indeed forearmed. In reality it shouldn't cause most people much of a delay at all, but it's nice to be "in the know" and to have your strategy planned in advance rather than be thrown into a panic by the unexpected.

Amber15 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks for letting us know. I know they are a real pain and especially being on those days that they have to be closed as well. Typical lol. These closures mean me taking a longer route on different rail lines. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Thank you for the heads up....as has already been said - best to know in advance. I need to hop over London on the Sat to see Prince at the O2, I guess it will all add to the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted August 30, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2007 Beth, you can use the TFL transport site that you used for the Underground to look at buses etc too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
