subwaykfc Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Heads up everyone. The Circle Line is not running between Edgware Road & Aldgate (via Victoria). The District Line is not running between Embankment & Earl's Court. If you are using the Underground your best bet is the Piccadilly Line to Earl's Court, then the shuttle to Olympia. Check out the TFL website for more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

666_porphyria_666 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Oh, lord. This is why we always drive there. I couldn't handle the stress of train strikes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted July 16, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 16, 2015 Supposedly every 7 minutes or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbatduck Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 The Earls Court - Kensington Olympia bit of the District line is still running Saturday and Sunday. It goes about every 10 minutes :) This doesn't run on Friday though so you will need a different route from Earls Court to Kensington if you are going on that day.

No, I believe this is just a generic bus service that runs to Olympia No need for a bus. The district line between Earls Court and Olympia is still running. It's a short service that only goes one stop and then back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilbatduck Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yep sorry there is a replacement bus service running from Earls Court to Olympia on Friday, or you can get the overground from West Brompton or Shepherds Bush (or walk from Barons Court).

bobd_uk Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Anybody walked from Earl's Court station to Olympia before? Is it a long walk ? Is it easy to find? Thanks 15-20 mins walk - pretty much a straight line. If you go the right way then you can't miss Olympia - route takes you past the station!

jonathan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Thanks.... I've decided to get tube to West Brompton and overground train to Olympia instead of dealing with replacement buses or the prospect of walking now tomorrow lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentineplus1 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I have just checked the TFL website and it seems that the problems on Circle and District Lines are only on Saturday and Sunday. Friday looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrong Name Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Need to find a way to get back to Waterloo on Sunday evening....

Starbuck17 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 This is why I am going to Clapham Junction then getting the overground to olympia. It's a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
