West Ham Away - 1st Oct

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

11 Trainlines drivers striking.

 

[Carl Corts Flick Ons]

1st isn’t it?

Quite right - now corrected

For duck’s sake. Can we just get one nice day out without disruption?

The rail TUs said that strikes would restart on October. They weren't lying... Drivers striking has way more impact too. Apparently they are directly targeting the Tory party conference (there are also strikes on 5 October)....

All of the companies which run between London and Birmingham are affected as is London Overground (the tube should generally be ok).

2nd trip to London of the season, 2nd rail strike. Not the best for car and tube. Hopefully the rest of October runs easier!

I wouldn't hold your breath on it. RMT have yet to announce their next strike dates. TSSA are striking on 26/27 Sep 22 and will doubtless schedule more strikes too.

Can you put 3000 people up between Chelsea and Palace?

Depends where you want to park. My spot going if you're willing to walk to the station (takes about 20 minutes to get to Stratford).

Cheers, that's very kind. I'll have a look, parked on Westfield the first time I went and I'm definitely never doing that again!

It's a **** place to get out of, usually just walk to Plaistow after a match and get the bus.

Yup, Stratford is a seriously busy transport interchange at the best of times. A crowd at West Ham overloads the whole place for an hour or more. Ideally you need to get somewhere else and take a mode/line that doesn't go through there. The District line is ideal....

Misses loves a good shop there but even she has learned when I say West Ham are at home that she knows a trip isn't happening.

Women, shopping? Surely not..... lol

Just a bump to say still 45 left, so unless people on 1020 buy them today, those are available to any STH who went to the League Cup game tomorrow 10am. I mean the view is awful, there are no trains, we're playing terribly but if you haven't had much chance for a while.....

But but but it’s a closed shop lol

No, not a closed shop, 45 of the 18k or so people in this position might be able to go.

It would be interesting to know the numbers entering the ballots to see what the demand actually is.

 

[lets all have a disco]

I'm not going to west ham, dont miss many away from home.....but couldn't be bothered with it, not because its the telly, but the train situation......Spurs done me in with the trains being on strike, then Liverpool being cancelled, so I couldn't be bothered booking another train for west ham......and low and behold them all on strike again.......

It makes ya wonder why you bother....the trains are a joke in this country.....I feel for anyone who has to use them regularly.........

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Typical, that a more or less home game for me, and I can’t go! Still bought tickets as know some other local Wolves fans that are very appreciative of the opportunity.

 

[ewarwoowar]

what is it with Wolves and strikers?

 

[Bostin]

Is the tube affected by strikes or is it just overground?

There are no strikes on the tube this weekend. However lines such as the Bakerloo which share tracks with National Rail may be affected.

Thanks for the info. Debating whether to get the coach or risk the tube!

 

[arctic rime]

If I drive to a tube what’s the best one , end of line to then get to the ground ?

Will be driving down the A1 from Stamford.

Thanks In advance

Usually park at Stanmore and get the tube in. Not far off the A1 I don’t think.

Stanmore has been recommended. However if you fancy a trip round the M25 then parking plenty around the East aspect, though probably situating yourself to somewhere like Upminster or Hornchurch be recommended, you'll be travelling out with the West Ham fans however.

Complete wrong side of London for the tube

Try parking at Victoria park and walking across

Agreed, straight down the Jubilee line to Stratford. Just checked and no planned engineering work (always a risk at weekends) on that line.

Normally l would agree but empathetically NOT this weekend - planned engineering work between Barking and Upminster affecting the District and Hammersmith and City lines and strike action on C2C.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Tempted by Stanmore, might need some PTSD treatment though from last time I was there!

Intriguing.... It's normally dead as a dodo - or was that the semi-final???

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings....

 

[woop woop barmy army]

Have no time for these striking thickos. Ruining peoples lives for the money they can make doing a mundane job.

A lot of my family and friends work on the trains an fully understand there reason behind the strike.

If they are so thick and doing a mundane job why doing you offer to drive the trains, work the signals carry out any repairs mainatance needed to carry the Wolves fans up there.

Ridiculous comment.
