MrsEllacott Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Ok, so I know some people do worry. Well typically there are engineering works around the Victoria Area this weekend. However, the overground from Clapham to Kensington is still running. Pain in the bum for me as I have to do a major diversion just to get to Olympia!

Zahariel Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Victoria line has nothing on the TFL Victoria station has: Work is underway on the Victoria Station Upgrade and there is a one-way system to enter and exit the Victoria line ticket hall. As the works progress other routes through the station may also be subject to change. If you are travelling to London on National Rail services you can save time and avoid queuing in the ticket hall by purchasing your Underground travel at your station of origin. Alternatively, use the Transport for London Travel Information Centre located in the National Rail concourse opposite platform seven. This work is part of the Tube Improvement plan and is scheduled to be complete in 2018. For more information visit www.tfl.gov.uk/vsu Caution! Take extra care when getting on and off Circle line trains here. The introduction of new, low floor trains to increase accessibility has changed the gap between the train and the platform Replan your journey to / from this station & 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted September 30, 2013 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2013 The TFL map is easy to use on their site to highlight the areas where there are works. Just look at that and plan accordingly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toria Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 There seems to be big issues for me getting to Clapham Junction (coming from croydon area)..... Seems like it is going to take me 1-2 hours to do a 30 minutes train ride with multiple changes including buses waaaa???. Trains from the south east don't seem to be running up into london very smoothly from all the route plans i did. I booked parking instead as I only live 18 miles away and it only cost about £5 more! Lots of reason to buy more things now I can pop to the car and store them there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenGreen Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Sunday is an awful day to get anywhere on the trains in this country, but then I guess they do need to do the maintenance at some point during the week, must check myself for both Saturday and Sunday and see what challenges we'll have to overcome to get there !

I'm being lazy - I'll change at Earl's court to the District line and head up to Olympia that way. Same price so no need to hoof it... I need the exercise!! On the Sunday frequency of the trains to Olympia will be less so if you 'JUST' miss it by time next one comes you could already be queuing up. Also I can't remember if it was the Sunday for EMS last year or when LFCC was there but the trains got cancelled altogether from EC to Olympia and they only announced it after good 20 minutes if people waiting.

You could change at clapham junction (or East Croydon don't take my word for it though) to get the overground to Olympia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jid1993 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Euston, but needing to go Ravenscourt park first, before the venue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnienfg Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The engineering works are a pain. I suffered last year when I went on the Sunday to Olympia. Had to take a detour that took me over an hour to get to the venue. Luckily it appears this time that Clapham to Olympia will be open, fingers crossed it stays that way. I'm sorry for anyone who gets delayed due to the engineering works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
