Sorry gutters, don't have a designated driver as he can't ******** drive, I am the driver. Also he is returning from God's own country on Sunday. Am exploring several possibilities as the train stops at London Bridge so I might hop off, nip up to Waterloo and go on from there, all as broad as it's long really. See you in the bar afterwards.

Thanks Gutters, just pondering on the varied journeys, I might stay on train to Cannon Street nip down the underground and straight on District to Richmond. Not bothered about the bus (ok - only if raining) don't mind the walk, should only take about 15 mins. Yuk going into Cannon Street - as if I don't do that every working day. Well I hope the team make it worthwhile all this palaver. Daft Dad pm'd me and kindly offered me a possible lift but unfortunately I have one or two things to sort out first in London but it was very nice of him to offer.

cheers for the info guys i in the end opted to go to richmond by tube and then got the replacment bus to twickers,coming home was bit more difficult due to the replacment buses stopping running but thanks to a couple of your fans we got a bus to teddington and then took the south west train to waterloo where we then used the tube.

a bit of a nightmare getting back but we did it in time to get our train back although plans to get a bite to eat were quashed so we made do with mcdonalds at kings cross.

HAS NOBODY TOLD YOU...EATING IS CHEATING!

Glad you enjoyed the day.

Nice to see the club kept to their promise with regards to make an announcement if the engineering works over-ran.

Missed that, but a bit of pre-travel investigation revealed that although only one of my 4 trains was subject to planned disruption, the bus replacements for 2 of the other 3 were planned to stop only with the trains immediately before my scheduled trains.

So I travelled by car.
