Need help with travel for tonight please :)

CharltonByBlood

Hello All,

I normally travel to the game from Rainham station in Essex,( 2 mins walk from home) i get the c2c to west ham , swap at Stratford and get the train to north Greenwich station and walk from there,

however when i do this after the match, its a long walk and i don't get home to late around 11.50 - 12pm ( have to get up for work at 5am) -it just kills the buzz to go , i know it shouldn't but just knowing what i have to do after the game is a killer

Im not from around Greenwhich area so i get confused ,I have been going since a young boy via dads transport but unfortunately he is ill and the Mrs has the car tonight ( ALLLL my mates are West ham fans as-well so that's another lift screwed,

I'm just wondering can anyone else help me with a easier route? I know there's a Charlton station but looks a nightmare to get home from and i don't know any of their routes and their website is a mess

ANY help would be highly appreciated guys

Thanks

486 bus from North Greenwich

Best bet get any bus to North Greenwich Tube Station. Then take the Jubilee Line to West Ham and I am sure you can get a train to Rainham from West Ham station.

Pop down to Greenwich for a few late beers then head straight to work.

Several bus routes go between North Greenwich and Charlton (486, 472, 161)

After the game, get a bus to North Greenwich Tube: 486 from Charlton Church Lane or 472 from the Woolwich Road. Journey time is only 10 minutes. Then Jubilee to West Ham and Overground to Rainham.

Bus to North Woolwich and walk through the foot tunnel?

Brilliant thanks , what's it like trying to get on that bus after the game ? A nightmare or fairly quite ? I can't imagine many people going my way to be honest

There's always a reasonable number on the bus, either getting on in Woolwich Road or round the corner on Bugsby's Way, traffic can be slow, but not so bad midweek

Shouldn't be too busy - and the buses are quite frequent. Remember there's no need to go via Stratford; just hop off the Jubilee Line at West Ham, and on to the Overground to Rainham: trains leave at 14 and 44 minutes past each hour. You should be at Rainham by ten-thirty.
