Love this thread, everything from people flying in long-haul to whether or not it's worth changing at Finchley Road (it's not). Anyway, contemplating a 65 bus to Ealing followed by a 483. The glamour.4

How far is the walk CE from your place to the station?0

I can only do very short distance at the moment without crutches so for me it is a cab to North Greenwich with my crutches and then Jubilee line with some friends all the way !!2

483'll take bloody ages though, particularly if the North Circular is snarled up. If you're going to Ealing Broadway on the 65 anyway, it might be quicker to get the Central Line up to South Ruislip, and change onto the Chiltern service to Wembley there. Although I suppose it's a question of how often the trains run and how packed they'll be by that point.BrentfordAddick said:Love this thread, everything from people flying in long-haul to whether or not it's worth changing at Finchley Road (it's not).

Sorry if I seem a little dim......but how do you prove you've paid if you just go contact less? Many times I've had to produce my ticket on the train up from Swanley to a ticket inspector ?Fumbluff said:
Swanley is the final stop on the Oyster network so yes he can....stevexreeve said:
If you are catching a train into London it's usually still worth buying a combined train / travelcard ticket because part of your train trip gets covered by the card. You can't tap in on "BR" trains outside London.golfaddick said:
That is very useful to know. We are coming from Swanley.....does the same apply from there because for the past zillion years I've just bought a one day travel card (around £11) when coming into London. Cant remember seeing one of those yellow tappy things though.killerandflash said:
These days it's never worth buying a travelcard, as the daily cost of using Oyster or a contactless card is capped at the cost of the travelcard anywayForeverAddickted said:
Have you got an Oyster Card or Contactless Bank Card?ME14addick said:We're thinking of parking at North Greenwich and taking the Jubilee line to Wembley Park, but with a break at Baker Street to meet others. The TFL website gave a fare of £2.80 from North Greenwich to Wembley Park, which seems very cheap, however a travel card seems to cost £10.10 off peak. Not being used to travel in London these days, does a stop at Baker Street mean that we'd have to buy new tickets from Baker Street to Wembley Park after we have stopped? A travel card seems to be the easier option.
Also I tried to book the NCP car park at North Greenwich, but it advised that I couldn't pre-book there. Are we likely to find problems with parking near North Greenwich if we can't pre-book. We actually live in Bearsted, Maidstone, but it seemed easier, quicker and cheaper to drive to North Greenwich rather than travel by train from Bearsted.
The £2.80 cost is if you use one of them, if your just changing trains @ Baker Street then you'll only have to pay the once - i.e. You'll tap in at the barriers @ North Greenwich and then tap out at the barriers @ Wembley Park (that'll cost you £2.80) same again when you travel home - If of course you want to come out of the station @ Baker Street thats when you'll have to pay for multiple trips
Certainly more worth it than getting a Travelcard unless of course you plan to do a lot of travelling all over London that day / evening
Just make sure you use the same card to tap in and out all day, and don't a wave a wallet/purse at the reader as that way the wrong card might get charged instead!0 -
Finally got round to sorting out my train tickets today, got a seat down to London but none left to reserve on the 20:00, 21:00 or 22:00 return journey to York so I’ll be heading home with a train full of Sunderland’s finest. Survived it in ‘98, will do so again.2

Sorry if this has been covered, but if you want to avoid Wembley Park tube and use the train instead, is Wembley Stadium station not a good option? (Bearing in mind how terrible it is to get away from Wembley using Wembley Park)2

We will be travelling from Swanley and if there was only 2 of us we’d use contactless. However on Sunday we are a group of 7 including an 8 year old. I think it’s cheaper to get travel cards as we qualify for the 1/3 off discount (groups of 3 to 9) and a child fare is £1.ElfsborgAddick said:golfaddick said:

You are wrong, very wrong. My wife and daughter are both gluten intolerant and suffer similar effects as a coeliac if they eat anything that has gluten. Sometimes they can get away with very small amounts but it’s risky. Hence planning our journey to hopefully get food somewhere that offers a GF option (my wife will carry some GF food in her A4 bag just in case).Dippenhall said:
Unless you're celiac its a meaningless lifestyle choice based on quack misinformation. Try eating proper artisan sourdough bread if your stomach, like mine, can't digest streamed unprocessed dough.Hex said:
If you want to eat inside the stadium and are gluten-free then take your own as Wembley specifically state they do not offer GF meals, which for a national stadium catering for 90k people is disgraceful.twiggyaddick said:Is there anywhere decent for food near the stadium or is it all overpriced parp?0 -
Wembley Stadium Station is a good option for where we are located in the stadium, just a couple of minutes walk, however you will miss the atmosphere of coming out of Wembley Park and walking down Wembley way before the game which I always love. For the NFL games I arrived at Wembley Park but left from Wembley Stadium as it’s generally a quicker getaway.mid_life_crisis said:Sorry if this has been covered, but if you want to avoid Wembley Park tube and use the train instead, is Wembley Stadium station not a good option?
