Getting from Marylebone to Clapham/Brixton on Wednesday evening

[Minnie_the_Minx]

yes, train tickets have been bought

this thread isn't giving me a great deal of confidence it must be said

pfffft - yes I will come and visit

well, i don't know! ideally i would go to our hotel first, drop off our stuff and then go from there to brix, but given i will be travelling at rush hour during a tube strike, it may well be best just to go straight to brixton and minimise the luggage

just find the starting point for the No. 2 bus and hope there's seats.

If there's no chance of that or getting on a No. 2 (which are usually very very busy by the time they get to Victoria), get any bus to Victoria and then overground train

Clapham Junction's also an option, but you may have trouble getting on the bus routes there that go to Brixton

 

[baldrick]

hotel????????

you could have stayed here!! (ok, am not in 'bricko', but am a bus ride away)

but yes come and visit any time

i thought it would be cheeky to ask seeing as you wouldn't be going to the gig

will pm you, definitely up for a less stressful trip to the smoke this summer train tickets only £5 too, something wrong there....

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Remember also, besides Clapham Junction and London Victoria to Brixton, you could look to see if getting to Streatham Hill is an option

Home time. Byee

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

yeah, there's a word for that.....................

dementia, alzheimers? I dunno, I can't remember

Or Clapham High Street from Victoria on the overground.

Hey tfl ninjas: Can I get to/from London Bridge - Brixton?

 

[teuchter]

Hey tfl ninjas: Can I get to/from London Bridge - Brixton?

Yes.

 

[rennie]

personally, if there's a strike on, I'd get the bus to victoria then the overland train.

but that would require buying a ticket for the train at victoria (because these trains aren't covered by oyster PAYG) in rush hour, when a tube strike is on. not fun.

no, stay on the no.2 all the way to brixton center. safest and simplest and cheapest way to do it.

sometimes you can get a travel card at rail stations. Mebbe he can ask at Marylebone?

133 all the way. You can also get the 35 but it goes via the dark side of the moon (aka Camberwell)

 

[baldrick]

I think you're going to the Faith no More gig aren't you. If you run short of time I live 5 mins from the Academy and you can stash your stuff there and pick it up after if it helps

i am indeed that's very kind of you, thanks.

 

[5t3IIa]

Yes.

133 all the way. You can also get the 35 but it goes via the dark side of the moon (aka Camberwell)

Soz - I meant overground train

I think I just heard on the radio that PAYG oyster will be valid on overground trains for the duration of teh strike.

not direct. you can go to tulse hill and change to herne hill, then change to brixton. bit stupid really. the overland line through brixton has interchanges with fuck all useful, you see.

Bum Don't suppose it intersects with the Bethnal Green overland does it...by some miracle?

nope. that station's just one stop from liverpool street though, where you could pick up the 133 bus direct to brixton

 

[teuchter]

You could get the train from London Bridge to Blackfriars and then Blackfriars to Loughborough Junction or Herne Hill.

Or you can go from London Bridge to Tulse Hill.

You can go from London Bridge to Victoria which will take you through Brixton but doesn't stop because it's on the high level line. You can get off at Clapham High St. Or carry on to Victoria and get the train back from there.

It would probably be quicker to get the bus. Depending which bit of Brixton you want to get to.

Albert then Academy for FNM

I know about the 133 cheers. It's a nice bus route, relatively speaking

 

[baldrick]

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

i have ordered oyster cards. it promised first class delivery but the confirmation email says it will take 3 working days to arrive.

Is there a Clapham High Street overground station?

oh you could have boght them at marylebone. actually maybe not, cos of the strike...

 

[story]

I would allow a bit more than an hour if the strike is on.

This.

Quite a lot more than an hour, I'd say.

 

[Crispy]

Is there a Clapham High Street overground station?

yep. on the london bridge to victoria line. not much use unless you live in clapham and want to go to one of those stations.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

There must be a newsagents nearby selling them no?

 

[baldrick]

oh you could have boght them at marylebone. actually maybe not, cos of the strike...

yeah, my thoughts too.

 

[Crispy]

well you can always get a bus ticket at the bus stop, they have machines that take coins.

 

[_pH_]

yeah, my thoughts too.

I could get a couple tomorrow and stick them in the post to you?

 

[King of Prussia]

You people are mad.

The easiest and quickest way is to charter a helicopter. You can even get one from Birmingham.

Easy.

(I don't think they take Oyster though.)
