Weymouth by train

[Digger The Cat]

Some of us are discussing popping down by train.

I will be leaving Saturday morning 10.35 from Waterloo if anyone's up for it.

What's the price of a day return and what time does the 10.35 train arrive, I may well be up for it.

The Supporters Club have arranged with Wessex Buses to provide, as usual, transport to the Wessex Stadium for the FA Cup game v AFC Hornchurch on 25th October and the Setanta Shield game v Torquay on 4th November.

Please note that for the AFC Hornchurch game , as a result of the Town Bridge roadworks and partial closure, the pick up point will NOT be at the TOWNBRIDGE but at the bus stop on CUSTOM HOUSE QUAY OPPOSITE THE SHIP INN

i found more info about the bus service from Weymouth station to their ground. Found on the Weymouth FC website under Club Info, Directions.....

 

directions to the wessex stadium if arriving by train

Weymouth railway station is situated in King Street which is 2 miles from the Wessex Stadium, so unless you fancy a hike the following are recommended.

 

Matchday Special Bus:

 

On matchday there are two football special buses which are provided by Wessex Bus from Kings Statue on the seafront departing from Bus Stop K2 adjacent to the Tourist Information Centre, at 2pm on Saturday's and 7.00pm for midweek matches.

 

Kings Statue is located a short stroll from the station. On exiting the station head across the forecourt towards the traffic lights and cross over King Street outside the Somerset Hotel. Turn left and head towards the seafront (you will see the clock in front of you).

 

Turn Right at the Jubilee Clock and cross over at the crossing to the beach side of the esplanade (don't go down the subway!!!!). Now walk along the esplanade for about 400 metres and you will see the tourist information centre, which is next to the Bus Stop. Nearest pub is the Cork and Bottle, right opposite the TIC.

 

The bus then picks up at Town Bridge which is located at the harbour end of St Thomas Street (very useful if you've been drinking in town), then along North Quay (picking up behind The Boot, for you Real Ale fans), Chickerell Road and Radipole Lane, picking up at Bus Stops en route to the Wessex Stadium.

 

After matches the bus departs from outside the Club Shop returning to town, although it has been known to depart from outside the main gate after bigger games.

 

For big matches, extra buses may be provided.

ingle and dotty are getting the 10.35 train so should be a few urchins on there.

[Digger The Cat]

Right be aware, that there is no district line over the weekend, the jubilee line is also suspended in parts and not stopping at Waterloo, so allow extra time getting to Waterloo.

[Skid]

Have a great trip down there by train guys - look forward to us all meeting up (coaches / trains / cars / helicopters / motorbikes / walking etc etc) and really making some noise !!!

[Nette]

OMG i will be waking you all up at 5.00 am

[Miss.A.F.C.Hornchurch]

im getting up at half 5!

 

 

i think the quickest way for people that are going by train is as follows....

 

Upminster to Fenchurch St

 

Walk from Fenchurch St to Bank

 

Get the Waterloo and City line from Bank to Waterloo,

 

Turn right as you come up the escalators!
