Fulham away, Putney Bridge tube closure

[LongsightM13]

Posted this in another thread, but thought I'd stick it in this forum in case any blues planning on going to the game by train/tube missed it.

Putney Bridge tube, nearest to Craven Cottage, is closed on the day of the game (Sunday, September 18, 3pm) , according to the Transport for London website. Planned engineering works on the District Line (the green one) mean there are no tubes on the Saturday or Sunday from Parsons Gren to Wimbledon, which includes Putney Bridge.
Tubes terminate at Parsons Green, which is aapparently a fair old hike to the ground.
The best alternative seems to be Victoria line south from Euston to Vauxhall, and then transfer to the Vauxhall overground rail station for South West trains services to Putney Rail Station. Or the Northern Line south to Waterloo and pick the trains up at the start. Services every 10-15 minutes or so. Just across the bridge, a few minutes on from the tube station, so its a slightly longer walk, but may be quicker than the tube anyway. Estimated journey time from Euston is 30 minutes.
Plenty of trains coming back as well.
Hope this helps, blues.

After Seven Sisters tube was also shut for the Spurs game last Sunday, I'm convinced a rag is running the London Underground...

Cheers for posting these details.

And as per your last comment I think you are right, have you seen that for the QPR game both tube lines that serve White City/Shepherds Bush are closed on that Saturday.

Planning on getting tube to Parsons Green which is a 20 minute walk apparently, hopefully few pubs on route to break it up.

We got off at Parsons Green last year. Nice walk to the ground.There's a few pubs when you exit the station.

Sounds perfect! Roughly how long did it take??

Just over a mile, took about 20 mins, mainly through plush residential areas.
There's a pub called "The White Horse" near to PG station. Has a beer garden but might be a bit pricey.

We stopped off at an offy en-route to pick a few cans up last year.
