London Transport problems for Tottenham

[LongsightM13]

Extra trains now laid on between Liverpool Street and WHL/Northumberland Park before and after the game. A revised pdf timetable available here:

I'm booked on the megabus as well, brad, but training it back.

Changing at Rugby due to work on the tracks.

Get to Euston at 11:56.

I'm pretty sure there are major(ish) engineering works on parts of the West Coast Main Line too, so I'd check the journey times for Sunday lads.

Sorry just seen liam's post above, trains will be a nightmare Sunday.

Apparently, coming back will be okay as the engineering works stop in the afternoon. Getting there could be a bit fraught though. That's why I opted for the coach, hopefully should be okay that early on a Sunday.
Never gone on Megabus before. Anyone know if they are reliable?

Horrid coaches...they're cheap for a reason.

If the bus starts at Manchester you should at least leave on time. If it starts somewhere else and is picking up in Manchester then expect it to be late. Like you say though, it's early on the Sunday so I bet it starts off in Manc.

I reckon you'll be fine but not much time for a drink. Allow about an hour to get from Euston.<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 24, 2011 1:59 am --<br /><br />

Not used Enfield before but I'm planning to this time. Looks like there are several car parks nearby. Not clear if they all charge on Sundays. At least one looks to be free but others could be up to £4.50. Doesn't look good for side street parking but I suppose if you are happy to walk a bit there's always somewhere. I'd always prefer to pay a fiver rather than risk the clampers. Don't know about the pubs.

I am also on the 8.20 change at Rugby train but am not sure if it goes directly into Euston after reading this link:

Virgin Trains

The following alterations will apply:

Sunday


Until 13:00, most trains to / from London Euston will start / terminate at Milton Keynes Central
From 13:00, a reduced level of service will run to / from London Euston

I am assuming that from Milton Keynes to London Euston it will be a bus.

The joys of being a football supporter reliant on trains!! :-)

I am driving from South Wales with my son and thinking of parking in Enfield.

If anyone needs a lift there is plenty of room.
