Chelsea v Leicester FA Cup Quarter Final - Sun 18 March

[OldGit]

I was hoping we could feather the grammatical storm.

How gullible

 

[Macky]

Apparently MoFo's lad has agreed to dye his hair blue if we win this, albatross is having second thoughts about that

What is the best/cheapest method of travel to this one? Drive to Stanmore and tube it? train? or fox travel?

 

[Biffa Bacon]

Driving to Luton parkway then getting a train might be a decent idea.

Are there trains directly to Stamford Bridge?

No, need to get the tube.

Not that I care since my niece has my ticket and I'll be landing in Tel Aviv as the match kicks off.

One of the London posters may be able to confirm but I would use Circle (yellow) or Hammersmith & City (pink) to Edgeware Road and change to the District (green) to Fulham Broadway. The Piccadilly Line (dark blue) serves many of the tourist sites therefore will get busy as well as stopping at more stations.

The back way is to catch a train direct from Milton Keynes Central (or Watford Junction) and alight at West Brompton.

Check the Circle line is running; it's been patchy the last few times I've been in London, and close in some parts.

The recommended route is Piccadilly to Earls Court and then District to Fulham Broadway. The connection between Picc and District at South Ken is not a good one and, in any case, most of the District Line trains that serve South Ken go on to Ealing Broadway or Richmond.

There is nothing wrong with your suggestion of travelling via and changing at Edgware Road. All of the District Line trains that start at Edgware Road go to Wimbledon and therefore stop at Fulham Broadway. It's likely though to take slightly longer than the Picc/District route but you're more likely to get a seat than you would at Earls Court. You can take either the Circle or the Hammersmith & City line to get from KXSP to Edgware Road.

No problems reported on Circle but H & C is closed

HAMMERSMITH & CITY LINE: Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 March, no service between Edgware Road and Barking.

Whoa!! CANCEL THAT.

There will be no trains at all between Kings Cross St Pancras and Edgware Road on the day of the game - planned engineering work means that the whole of the Circle and that part of the Hammersmith & City line will be closed. You will have top use the recommended Picc/District route, changing at Earls Court.

Cheers. Sadly, it doesn't make any difference to me, as I will be stuck with a 13yr old who won't be getting into any pubs. Grr.

The Circle is definitely closed as well.

I don't think the niece is allowed in there.

Cheers guys, will probably drive down and use the tube.

Today is the day Homey...I feel it in my gut.
