If so what tubes/trains will I need to take to get there as an alternative route? Help much appreciated I wrote this reply in the social:- Were doing the train to Euston aswell. Engineering works are scheduled for the Northern line from there, so we are walking to Euston Square to catch another train to Liverpool street, then the tube to White heart lane.

Grogan_Avfc Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Ive been looking at tube maps and stuff and I cant make head nor tail of it lol, this looks a straightforward route tbh, cheers. Apparently there are replacement buses going direct to seven sisters but :notsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there are replacement buses going direct to seven sisters but :notsure: Thats the tube for you lol. There is a bus shuttle service as you point out, but im not risking it. Traffic is usually horrendous, so its easier to walk to Euston Square and get the tube to Liverpool Street, then the train to White Heart Lane. My lad has spent a bit of time in North London, so i trust his intstructions. I just hope Glasgow is not to cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VICTORIA LINE CLOSURE - THIS WEEKEND The entire Victoria Line will be closed this Saturday as London Underground continues their full upgrade of the line as part of a multi-billion pound investment programme. It is recommended that any supporters attending the match, kick-off 3pm, should travel by tube or train to Liverpool Street and catch the frequent National Express services from there to White Hart Lane. Please note, London Underground tickets will be accepted on National Express services between Liverpool Street to Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale only. Therefore, fans travelling any further than this (i.e. White Hart Lane and Northumberland Park) will require a valid National Express ticket. Alternatively, fans can interchange from the Piccadilly Line at Finsbury Park or Manor House rather than in Central London, and use the Rail Replacement Bus Service to Seven Sisters station. This Rail Replacement Bus Service will operate a northbound service from Bus Stop R at Finsbury Park station or Bus Stop D at Manor House station, and a southbound service from Bus Stop A at Seven Sisters station. Passengers using the Piccadilly Line from Central London are advised to change at Manor House for the rail replacement bus service as overall journey times between Central London and the stadium will be quicker than changing at Finsbury Park. London Underground tickets will be accepted on the following scheduled bus services: · 259 between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters · 279 between Manor House and Seven Sisters · 230 between Walthamstow Central and Seven Sisters · 259 between Finsbury Park and Seven Sisters · 73 between King's Cross and Seven Sisters · 476 between King's Cross and Seven Sisters · 4 between Highbury & Islington and Finsbury Park · 19 between Highbury & Islington and Finsbury Park · 30 between Highbury & Islington and King's Cross (boosted service) · 43 between Highbury & Islington and Holloway Road · 271 between Highbury & Islington and Holloway Road · 393 between Highbury & Islington and Holloway Road For more information on this closure, please visit Transport for London or contact London Underground Customer Services by calling 0845 330 9880 or write to: Customer Service Centre, London Underground, 55 Broadway, London SW1H 0BD. http://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/travel/news/travel-update-villa-300910.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stated using National express coaches for London games. Their seldom more than half full, very comfortable and not much slower than Chiltern (2 hrs 10 to Finchley Road) I managed to get a return for 14 quid by using their funfares in advance.

"I'd like to thank everybody for travelling with Chiltern Railways today, except for that slowandlow fella off of VillaTalk, the ungrateful git!" (And to continue in my Chiltern defence force role: The engineering works will be worth it when they are finished. You will be able to go from Moor Street to Marylebone in 1hr 40 next season.)
