marknoble_726 If you are travelling to Mark Noble’s testimonial match today you should be aware there is limited underground and overground trains.

West Ham has issued the following important travel advice for supporters attending the Mark Noble Testimonial match. It is best to leave an extra hour for your usual travel time to the Boleyn Ground to make sure you don’t miss Nobles big day.There will be no London Underground service to/from Upton Park station because of planned engineering work on the District and Hammersmith & City Lines on Easter Monday. Supporters travelling from central London are advised to use the Jubilee line or the DLR to Canning Town station and continue their journey on foot.

6MarkNoble Supporters travelling from the east are advised to use c2c services to Barking station and walk from there to the Boleyn Ground. Barking station is also served by London Overground services. The walking time from each station is about 40 minutes. Bus services will be operating from each station but are expected to be busy.

Due to the suspension of Abellio Greater Anglia and TfL Rail services to/from London Liverpool Street for Network Rail engineering work, and also the aforementioned suspension of the District and Hammersmith & City Lines, c2c will be running an enhanced Sunday service on Easter Monday.

The walking route to/from Canning Town station

After the match, c2c services are planned to call at West Ham station on a Set Down basis only. This is due to the fact it may become necessary for London Underground (who manage this station) to close it at short notice to prevent overcrowding.The operation of West Ham station may also be restricted to exit and interchange only. We would recommend that you consult the Transport for London website if you are planning on travelling to/from or via West Ham Station between the hours of 16.00 and 19.30, before travelling.
