Avanti West Coast, Crosscountry, GWR, Hull Trains, LNER, TPE
Chiltern, Greater Anglia, London Overground, Northern, Southeastern, West Midlands

Additionally, the RMT have notified train operators (but yet to see any media catch it) of their intention to strike on the same day.

Nationalise the lot!

Nationalise the lot!

Basically been running under a form of nationalised model for the last 2-3 years. Though when the government just refuse to enter the room for any talks and blame it on everyone else, it doesn't solve these disputes.

The "wonders" of GBR don't you know will allegedly solve everything.
Though a strike would then take down the entire network at once with absolutely nothing running.

Get behind the worker , its not about wages alone ,its about conditions and attacking their jobs

 

[Lost Marbles]

Was looking forward to this one, got my match ticket and arranged to meet friends I haven't seen for a while. Now looks like I'm stuck as apparently there's no trains from where I'm living (Northamptonshire). I'm quite close to the M1 so if anyone is driving that way to the game and can pick me up I will happily pay for petrol (and I'm relatively good company!)

those taking cars you can park fairly close to The VAlley by paying between £7 and £15 on your parking space.com. 4 hours parking and within 10-11 min walk of stadium

When there weren’t train strikes

Are the tubes still running?

 

[uptheus]

And we had more hope then too!

Not sure if I can put myself through watching more dross, especially with the additional rigmarole with the train strikes etc

 

[WuTang]

London Underground still working as usual, just need to get there which is the tricky bit!

 

[Mellowyellow]

Closest away game for me, simply had enough of Robinsons absolute dross, to waste more money.
The sooner he goes the better.

There aren't any Underground stations very close to The Valley. The nearest one is North Greenwich on the Jubilee Line. A bus from there to Charlton takes about 20 minutes.

 

[TailsWeWin]

Hesitating….. can’t face more KR dross either. Difficult decision.

Does anyone know the best way to get from day London Bridge to Charlton’s ground with the impending train strikes next Saturday (1st), and preferably not via bus!!

Yes - Uber.

Sharing an Uber with friends from that point probably the only option, or from even further away!

 

[Hackney Jack]

Yes - Uber.

Uber is an absolute sh1t show in recent months. Download the app 'Bolt', much more drivers on there.
