mart Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 [quote name='WalMan' post='1155331' date='Mar 9 2011, 02:00 PM']... Looks like the line from Clapham Junction - Olympia is out all w/e. ...[/quote] Not according to National Rail, it's not. On Saturday morning it looks fine. (Especially when you compare with next Saturday: nearly 2 hours to go from Croydon to Kensington ) On Sunday, yes, it seems to be shut til lunchtime. Quote

Rely on TFL info more (but not 100% of course). The weekly "here comes the weekend's cock-ups" email from TFL says this about the Overground network: On Saturday, there is no service between Gospel Oak and Highbury & Islington. On Sunday, there is no service between Richmond and Stratford. On Sunday, there is no service between Gospel Oak and Barking. On Sunday, there is no service between New Cross Gate and West Croydon. On Sunday, there is no service between Sydenham and Crystal Palace. On Sunday, before 1330, there is no service between Clapham Junction and Shepherd's Bush. On Sunday, there is no service between Shepherd's Bush and Willesden Junction. So, generally ok on Saturday; you'll be lucky on Sunday. Here's the tube map for affected lines all weekend: [url="http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/realtime/track.aspx?offset=weekend"]http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/livetravelnews/r...?offset=weekend[/url] (hover over a line to get the full story).

ras52 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 So the Overground is %^&*ed but the District Line from Earls Court is OK. Quote
TomKent Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Coming from Kings Cross Northern Line to Victoria and then the District Line to Earls Court.. and walk. That sound about right? Quote

chris_b Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 If you can't gat a train directly to Olympia all you have to do is go to Hammersmith underground station (District and Piccadilly) and walk 1/2 mile down Hammersmith Road in the direction of Kensington. Quote
alant Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Being an "old git" I'll be hot-footing to the Rotosound stand Sunday lunchtime to hopefully meet an old hero of mine, Martin Turner, original bassist with Wishbone Ash. Quote

They ain't as cheap as they used to be... Quote

niceguyhomer Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I was planning on parking at Hammersmith - is it really walkable from there? Quote
mike f Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Walking from Hammersmith should take about 10 minutes. Quote
