Question Train to Wembley

[GregStarz]

I'll be getting the train to Wembley (and back) from Rayleigh, I just wondered would it be cheaper to buy our tickets now or is it not worth the bother and just purchasing on the day? I assume we need travel cards?

Don't think there's any reduction for buying a Travelcard in advance.

GA don't do advanced tickets on the Shenfield <-> Southend line, so no difference in price.

Does anyone know if C2C or Greater Anglia are putting on extra (or longer) trains ?

Later Anglia will probably be doing longer trains - longer journeys that is !

Interesting that according to train line.com it's actually cheaper to buy you ticket from Wickford rather than Shenfield!

You might want to consider putting up a separate thread to see if anyone is going from the same station and then buy a group save ticket. If there are three or more of you you save 1/3. It takes a bit of organizing, whether it is worth it only you can answer .

Extra Trains- Greater Anglia---- Nope
I just spoke to customer services. They are concentrating on the potential train strike on the Monday/Tuesday. . At present they have NO PLANS for longer trains or extra trains for the Saturday (same may be true for Norwich on Monday )

you can use Oyster/contactless for the whole journey from Shenfield though...

Might be worth buying the ticket the day before though. The queues at the station last time were horrendous!

Good luck with that Norwichers, they'll probably be no trains at all.

I'm going from Benfleet. 2 Adults and one 14 year old. Would it be cheaper to get 3 travel cards or the group saver thingy?

Not too familiar with the c2c, i usually have to put up with the shyte GA!

Thanks.

Going from Wickford to Liverpool Street, and hopping on the Bakerloo line is it? Does anyone know the journey time to Wembley park station from Liverpool Street?

Just to warn you guys, some of these Train Stations are using self service ticket machines. If you haven't used one before, they are a nightmare. So many options, different types of tickets or deals, with overground and underground involved. You need a degree to work it out. So get to the station 15 minutes earlier than you planned.

25-30 mins on the Metipolitan line northbound

Yep almost certainly better to get the groupsave. Cost per person for a travelcard from Benfleet using groupsave is only £8.30

It's not long, I'd say around 15/20 minutes.

I'll probably stop at Baker Street on route to soak up some atmosphere.

Too right, Mrs GYS has just told me there are 120 coaches so far going. Keep away from the A14/M11 on Monday:off topic:

Thanks guys, anyone else going from Wickford?
