Brentford

[Wapping Blade]

Quick question please - if I buy an all zone tube pass for the day (or zone 1-4) will it enable me to travel on the 13.07 overland/South West Trains service from Waterloo to Kew Bridge or will I have to buy a separate ticket?

As far as I'm aware, yes as Kew Bridge is in Zone 3 and you can use a travelcard on the trains (as I did for Charlton the other week).

If you do just want to get the tube, both Boston Manor and gunnersbury stations are within 15 minutes walk of griffin park, both on the piccadilly line.

I'll be having a few in here

If anyone else is on the look out for a place to masturbate before the game I recommend the Queen Anne by Vauxhall tube station.

Cheers Wapping (and Highbury).

Wapping - just to clarify mate - you saying you bought a tube ticket to get to London Bridge for example and then used that tube ticket to get the overland train from LB to Charlton?

A one day travelcard covers you for tubes, trains and buses. So if you buy a 1 day 1-4 zone travelcard (£7.70), you can go on tubes and trains at your leisure.

It covers Tube DLR, and London Overground services, so you'll need to be careful about what train you get on. If you're saying that the waterloo - kew gardens service is south west trains, then it doesn't cover that.

Only covers trains run by London Overground. It does not cover all trains within London AFAIK.

You are thinking of Oysters.

Travecards cover all national rail services in the relevant zones.

Im pretty sure it does.

I stand corrected

Micalijo:

Highbury is wrong: Travelcards allow you to use any land-based form of public transport within the London Fare Zones specified. Your Z1-4 ticket will let you get to Brentford by tube, train - either South West Trains or London Overground - or bus. I used to buy travelcards at Clapham Junction (no TfL services from there at that point) and use whatever form of transport I needed to.

The best place to buy a travelcard, assuming you haven't already, is from one of the ticket machines at the mainline railway station you arrive into London at. Tube ticket machines tend to be a little bit antiquated and are mainly aimed at Oyster users.

Oysters allow you to travel by National Rail too. It just costs you a considerable amount for the privilege.

As other have pointed out - I bought a 1 day travelcard that works on both tubes and trains (and buses).

Oof, it's a different world down there, in that London. You mention land-based public transport, which suggests there might be some other kind and I'd love to try it.

When you fly into Heathrow, you fly close to Brentford's ground, KLM used to have an advert on one of the stand rooves, but I don't think there's a request stop for Griffin Park.

The other type is the riverboats. Nothing too exotic! Think the KLM advert is now a Qatar airways; there's no request and jumping out isn't recommended.

Sold out!

On general sale for a few hours and then bosh!

Managed to get a couple this morning by being 7th in the queue when the lines opened at 9am.

Gladly, though I'm a bit worried about arranging a meet up what with this clearly being your first trip to London and everything.

 

[S64 Blade]

Managed to get tickets the other day. Phew!

I'm a bit nervous Raul lad. My grandad went once and said they have trains that run under the ground!! Must be a wind up.

This corporate ticket at £70 offered by Brentford is a complete and utter disgrace considering there will be plenty of empty seats they could have given us (police probabloy to blame for refusal to offer us anymore no we've sold out).

Surely Blackwell and McCabe are to blame?
