Engineering Works

[Rob_the_Saint]

Some info from Thameslink on engineering works tomorrow...

 

Saturday 16th August

 

Due to engineering work between Elephant & Castle and Tulse Hill, Thameslink services to / from Sutton will be revised. Services to / from Luton will be diverted to start / terminate at Moorgate. Services to / from Sutton will start / terminate at London Bridge and run to Streatham via Sutton and Wimbledon. No Thameslink services will operate between Tulse Hill and Sutton (via Mitcham Junction). Replacement bus services will operate between Tulse Hill, Herne Hill, Loughborough Junction, Elephant & Castle and Blackfriars.

 

Hope you all understand it!!

So basically the bit of line we need is going to be completely closed tomorrow? It's all very well bus services operating between Tulse hill, herne hill etc. but we need one that operates between Tulse hill and Carshalton. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

 

What a great way to start the season <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

So how do we get there by train Rob?

[EFM's Librarian]

My understanding is that we would have to get a bus from Blackfriars to Tulse Hill, but then I don't understand how we get from Tulse Hill to Carshalton?

[ESG]

im guessing here but maybe go via croydon junction?

[EFM's Librarian]

I;ve found an alternative

10.19 St A to Blackfriars

10.49 Blackfriars to Victoria by tube

11.20 Victoria to Carshalton,

arrive in Carshalton at 11.44 in time for the Spurs game

 

I'm happy now

[Laz]

Kings Cross to Victoria might be quicker.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

We've known about this for a while. Libro - you have the route I was intending to take.

 

 

[EFM's Librarian]

Who's we? No-one had told me.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

We were talking about it at the barbecue a few weeks ago - not my fault if you decided you had something better to do!!

 

 

[Laz]

What time, Zealster?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Tomorrow? I'm not sure.

 

Me and Libro are keen on getting there by midday in order to watch the Spurs match on SKY, but I imagine we'll receive stiff opposition from Thornsy and the others.

 

In that case, I guess we'd meet at the station around noon.

 

 

[Laz]

See you at the station then.

[Rob_the_Saint]

Personally I would do this:

 

St Albans to London Bridge (Thameslink)

London Bridge to Sutton (South Central)

Sutton to Carshalton (South Central)

 

Takes about 1 hour and a half. Every half hour from 12:04 onwards.

 

Or, if you fancy, train to Blackfriars then tube to Victoria and get on the train to Carshalton from there.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yeah, we'll do Rob's one, Libro. I don't particularly like using the tube.

 

Laz - I'll confirm times with you tonight.

 

 

[ESG]

is spurs on sky?

 

pompey v villa, shirley...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Spurs is midday kick-off on SKY, so I've been informed.

 

 

[ESG]

its a 12.00 k/off dont think its on Sky tho?

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Hmmm. Just checked and I'm inclined to agree with you. See General Forum for Libro's verbal kicking...
