Faerie Tanith Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I've just learned there are train strikes on Saturday that will affect train travel from Clapham Junction to Olympia tomorrow. What's the best/cheapest way around this for easiest travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenaciouspirit Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If just going by train, you could consider Clapham - Vauxhall - Victoria - Earls Court - Kensington. But there might be quicker routes/bus routes/ taxis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there might be quicker routes/bus routes/ taxis Forget going via Vauxhall ( if I have read the post correctly ) if your at Clapham go straight to Victoria and use the tube to Olympia via the district line ( Green ) change at Earls court. If you time it right it could take 15 minutes check your times with this tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ If your worried about changing at Earls Court the last time I did it I just walked from one side of the platform to the other :) Edited July 27, 2018 by maduncledai Bad grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The District line is open just not the Overground bit. That came from the staff there on Thursday btw. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faerie Tanith Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 My dad worked out that from Clapham I should go to Wandsworth Town and from there get a bus to Kensington Olympia. I've no idea what the timing is going to be like though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
