charliechuck71 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 olympia branch is the name of the station, or just olympia? as it seems there are a few olympia stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Tbf, "mate" can be gender neutral, Miss Raylenth. We could call you "dude" if you want, a la Anthony Hopkins. Dooood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It's the Olympia branch line. The Station is Olympia. If you look at the tube maps on the tfl site, look at Earls Court and you can see Olympia one stop above it on a restricted service branch line (It should b fine for Saturday, it doesn't run during the week) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Think the one Raylenth's talking about is call Kensington (Olympia), Charlie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooood. Mate is generally a male salutation though, even if technically it is gender neutral. Mind you there aren't many female alternatives that may not be sexist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raylenth Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Yeah sorry about that Charlie, I've been going to it for so many years for various things it's easier to just call it Olympia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yep, it gets a bit confusing sometimes, and I'm kinda new to it. ) http://content.tfl.gov.uk/standard-tube-map.pdf Not the overground. The branch line to Olympia is still an underground train. Overground generally refers to National Rail trains rather than the Tube. Only clarifying as National Rail trains do go to Kensington Olympia from some stations so I wouldn't want you to ask where the Overground trains go from as I'd be afraid you might get sent to the wrong platform. I think most District line trains stop on a platform near the one you need to K Olympia so when you get off just look/ask for the Olympia tube trains. It's very confusing trying to find the Olympia platform if you get off the Piccadilly Line at Earls Court but that's not your problem Edited July 5, 2017 by Raylenth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks for clarifying, Raylenth, hadn't used the Olympia stop last year & wasnt 100% sure if it was over or underground. lol Anyways, back to topic: Chris Durand, eh? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 This may not help you much but I'll post it anyway. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4921183,-0.193179,3a,75y,99.07h,90t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s-2uGv_bmaBik%2FV7BshQuKZ-I%2FAAAAAAAAyEE%2F5SIElfGVAGwlJP3iAO4-V2HkIj4PjghWgCJkC!2e4!3e11!6s%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2F-2uGv_bmaBik%2FV7BshQuKZ-I%2FAAAAAAAAyEE%2F5SIElfGVAGwlJP3iAO4-V2HkIj4PjghWgCJkC%2Fw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya81.6305-ro-0-fo100%2F!7i7168!8i3584 The platform you are looking at is the one the Olympia Train usually leaves from, if you scroll a little to the right so you can see the stairs down and departure boards you can see they are very old fashioned clapper board types but that both have Olympia on them. Ignore the white sign in the middle that says take the first Wimbledon Train and change at Brompton. don't get there, see that and panic. The Olympia line doesn't run during the week (and if it's shut at the weekend for maintenance) so that's just there to tell you how to get there if the line is closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliechuck71 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 yes but to get to the olympia you can walk along pennywern road right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) You will be going the wrong way a bit if you go into Pennywern and it depends if you come out the front or back exit to Earls Court. If you come out the back, the old venue side which is Warrick road you turn right and keep walking straight, over the big junction until you get to Kensington High Street and turn left and it's a short way up. If you come out the front on to Earls Court Road, turn left and walk to the big junction, turn left onto West Cromwell Road and at the first junction turn right on to Warrick Road and follow the rest of the instructions as above.
