Londonites - train home after night games 17:02 - Jun 23 with 1940 viewsunbelievablue

Planning the games I will get to this year and wondered what the consensus is - rush out/leave early for the 9.44pm, or wait for the 10.23pm?

I have to get from LLS/Stratford to Belvedere via Woolwich so in theory I can DLR to Woolwich pretty late and connect to a Southeastern but they are every half an hour at that time, whereas the 9.44 might conceivably get me on the last Liz line home.

Rush out on 90 minutes to get the 21:43 (or 42 or 44), the latter train adds about an hour to the journey back which makes a big difference for me in terms of work the next day.

It might even have a bar on it, although that is highly variable these days with GA.

Makes sense. I just checked and the last Liz line train to Abbey Wood is 11.09 so I should make that from the 9.44 too. Home by 11.40pm as opposed to 1am would make a big difference as you say.

It’s highly variable if you get a train at all isn’t it?

There are only two (league) home mid week games scheduled I see.

Sure they’ll be a postponement or two to change that.

Ha, true.

Either Wigan or the evening game before, I managed to ninja the change at Stratford and was back at Camden Road for 23:05.

With the extra subs & time wasting unfortunately you're going to have to miss more of the game to get the 21:43. What utter nonsense - I went to many 7:30 kick offs at PR in the past when you knew the final whistle would be blown by 9:15.

I used to wait and get the later trains but the difference is quite big. I now almost always get the 21:44 but that does mean missing the last few minutes.

I say the difference is big - I really struggle to sleep after midweek games, so not sure it really is in terms of getting a good rest.

The earlier train hasn't had a bar on it for some time. Annoying.

derby is a Friday night, thanks to Sky, and Cambridge will surely be reschedules as a mid week game.

Can't you just take the Elizabeth line to Abbey Wood direct from Liverpool Street and then walk or grab an uber?

Get the 9:44pm. I start making my way down ensuring I’m in eye shot of everything and then run to the station. That extra 30 - 40 minute wait is a bit of a rinser if you’re working the next day as it’s a slow train or at least feels like it, especially if we lose!

That's what I'm doing, but the last Liz line train is 11.09pm. I can only make that if I get the 9.44 from Ipswich.
