mirrorcarp Posted 23 December, 2010 Share Posted 23 December, 2010 I have been informed best route by train is Southampton - Barking then district line tube to Dagenham East (only 4 stops). 5 of us going worked out just £22 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagenham is a fair way out so quite a few stops, going via a few east end pubs will make the day out more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 23 December, 2010 Share Posted 23 December, 2010 I shall be visiting Highgate Cemetery in the morning, then walking east until I run out of time and then the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Porter Posted 23 December, 2010 Share Posted 23 December, 2010 In most cases I agree with this, but surely the small allocations at Brighton and bournemouth will sell out to season ticket holders who have done 3+ aways at least. Bournemouth maybe... Brighton I doubt it. Even if it looks like it's going to sell out quickly it's still worth applying for the cost of a stamp. Pretty sure all the games we had to apply for last season went on general sale and wasn't suprised about D&R either really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 23 December, 2010 Share Posted 23 December, 2010 I didn't get a ticket, not looking at the OS on a regular basis is a bad move. If anyone can't go I'll take their ticket off their hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSaint Posted 24 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 24 December, 2010 Drinking in London, then I guess Fenchurch St to Barking on overland rail, then tube from there is what we're doing. (Found myself on too many long tube journeys when I've needed to pee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirrorcarp Posted 24 December, 2010 Share Posted 24 December, 2010 Been told that it is 45 minutes on the tube from Waterloo.Thats 45 minutes not in the pub.Would rather drink some tins all the way to Barking and find a pub there.It is 11 minutes to Dagenham East from there.I think the ground is not far from there.

Quite a few pubs round there in the city will be closed with it being a bank holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirrorcarp Posted 24 December, 2010 Share Posted 24 December, 2010 What i mean is i would rather get the travelling out of the way and go straight to a pub and stay there.Once in a pub i like to stay there until i leave for the match.Dont want to be travelling an hour before kick off.

LVSaint Posted 25 December, 2010 Author Share Posted 25 December, 2010 Get to some decent watering holes close to Fenchurch St for your main drinking, then top up with a swift one close to the ground in a shabby pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1976.4.38 Posted 25 December, 2010 Share Posted 25 December, 2010 cant remember the pubs name but there is a pub on the corner right by fenchurch street station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemel Saint Posted 30 December, 2010 Share Posted 30 December, 2010 your easiest route would be Southampton to Waterloo, then Jubilee line from there to West Ham (20 mins) changing on to the District line to Dagenham East (another 20 mins) . Dagenham is a fair way out so quite a few stops, going via a few east end pubs will make the day out more enjoyable. I would do this suggested route. There is Tube closures on Bank Holiday Monday for part of the District line. So you will have problems if you are looking to go from Central London all the way out to Daggers on the District Line! http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=weekend If you do the Jubilee line to WestHam then you could stop at London Bridge for your pre-match drinking. Dont forget to allow 45 mins for the tube journey out to Dagenham East via WestHam station... so may see some Saints at London Bridge??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Bridge is a good shout, but still involves a fair bit of tube time between pub and ground which could be a problem after a few pints!! There is a decent service running from Fenchurch St to Barking but depending on where you are coming from getting to Fenchurch st can be a hassle (and most pubs around Fenchurch st wont bother opening on a bank holiday monday as the city will be deserted), few pubs around Barking station not particularly nice but decent for a short journey of a few stops to Dagenham East. Remember drinking around there before West Ham away once and it wasn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um Bongo Posted 30 December, 2010 Share Posted 30 December, 2010 So there is no tube option to get to Dagenham then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRM Posted 30 December, 2010 Share Posted 30 December, 2010 So there is no tube option to get to Dagenham then? of course there is. the district is only closed between embankment and aldgate, if you are coming into waterloo this wont effect you at all, jubilee line to west ham and then district from there to dagenham east. if you are coming from different parts of london use the journey planner on the tfl website http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
