West Ham United have advised supporters to allow more time for their journeys on Sunday.
Ill see be driving no one is telling me what to do
Well I’d love to leave the car at home and avoid the 2.5 hours each way I need to allow to get to and from a match. Unfortunately for the last 4 years Greater Anglia haven’t been arsed to run a rail service from where I live on match days; if they had I could take 1h 15m each way and the family would be a lot happier…. bell ends!
It makes you laugh, the trains haven’t hardly worked at weekends since we moved to the new stadium, guess what they have a bus replacement service again sunday. No driving day lol.
Great timing. No trains between Chingford & Hackney Downs Saturday & Sunday.
Fantastic Planning.
As well as No trains between Chingford & Hackney Downs, but there are also No trains on the Stratford to Gospel Oak Overground, including Hackney Wick Station, which will be closed.
What a day for Newham Council to close Roads in and around Stratford, including Stratford Broadway. On a match day with 60,000 spectators at the London Stadium, which is in Startford.
Honestly, you couldn’t make this up.
