Zahariel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Just received this in the mail detailing the disruptions to the underground and overground. Have a butcher's and see if there is anything affecting you - Don't forget to check your rail network too if coming by train into London.

minchb Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Blimey there's a few part closures, luckily it doesn't affect me! Thanks! EDIT Actually: I see one starts from Earls Court to Wimbledon. If I'm coming from Green Park can I still get off at Earls Court?

MrsEllacott Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Even though no district lines are stopping at West Brompton, London Overground/Southern trains are running as normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmorris2504 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Doesn't look to be disruptive for me luckily the overground from clapham junction to west Brompton is unaffected. Thanks though :) zahariel, what time train are you getting from Brighton on Sunday? Might be on the same one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be on the same one I'll be getting the 06:13 from BTN - the next one doesn't arrive at WBP until 08:40 - I'm getting my Stan auto on the Sunday morning so want to be in there early.

Acsel Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Those changes don't really seem to affect me. But can I get an opinion on my journey anyway? I'm familiar with the underground but have not been to Earl's Court or West Brompton before so this'll be my first LFCC event. I've got 2 options (Saturday morning) Option 1: Leave Andover on the 7:38 train to London Waterloo. Get off at Clapham Junction, have a 25 minute-ish wait at CJ before getting on a train to West Brompton to arrive at 9:08. Option 2: Leave Andover on the 7:38 train to London Waterloo, staying on it to arrive at Waterloo for about 10 to 9. Then get on the underground up to Embankment, swap onto a District line, get off at Earl's Court and walk down to West Brompton. I feel like the first option is the more logical of the 2. I'm familiar enough with Clapham Junction to navigate my way around and we'll have 25 minutes to find our platform which should be plenty of time. Just to confirm I do have a few questions though: The train from Clapham to West Brompton stops basically at the event by the looks of it (and the directions on the LFCC site say the venue is right there). The walk from Earl's Court down doesn't look very far but I judge it'll be more annoying than being dropped at the event? How busy it is likely to be in the morning on the CJ to WB train? It's a big event and I know it'll be busy on the train regardless of whether I go via Waterloo or Clapham. I won't need to buy any separate tickets for this will I? Unlike going via London where I'd need an Underground ticket as well as the standard train. For my own confirmation and peace of mind really I just want to check that going via Clapham and using the overground will in fact be cheaper and easier overall instead of going into London (regardless of the line closures).

Che-Snake Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Love how they choose to do these works around Earls Court and West Brompton when 100,000 people are expected there over the weekend -.- Ta, Che-Snake :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I'd go with option 1 - Simple with less chance for problems. The Clapham to West Brompton train is quick with only 1 other stop, it starts at Clapham so over crowding won't be a problem.
