In view of potential tube strike next week, what's the best way to get to Stamford Bridge from St Pancras? (Strike over by 9 p.m. so should be o.k. to go back on tube).
Don't particularly like buses, so is there a good overground way to get there, and also don't mind walking couple of miles.
Thanks ( will be bit slow to thank anyone personally as won't be home till gone midnight )
Well, unless you want to pay for a taxi, I don't see that you have an alternative to getting a bus. I'd come out of the station, turn right along Euston Road, past Euston Station and into Gower Street by University College Hospital. Then you get a No 14 all the way to the ground.
But they'll be busy.
Incidentally, this is a 'Pay before boarding' bus. If you don't have an Oyster Card, then you'll need to get a ticket from the machine by the bus stop.
Even if the strike ends at 9pm I wouldn't put too much hope in the service running well that night even into the next morning as invariably either drivers or trains are 'in the wrong place' for an effective 100% service.
Incidentally, if the strike follows the pattern of the last one, there will be trains running on the Victoria Line, about one every five minutes. You could take that to Victoria and walk, I suppose, although it's not far short of three miles.
if the Victoria line is running, you could go to Victoria or Vauxhall, thence to clapham junction ad then back up to west brompton. but if the vic line is the only one running, it'll be manic.
just to warn you, even if strike is over, doesn't mean to say stations will be open, and train running. buses would be a longish trek. not one bus goes direct as far as i know. Let me have a think.
