Carling Cup- Tottenham

[Hawkwell Shrimper]

What is the best way to get to Spurs? What train route is everyone else taking... Tube or Mainline?

Blue Army!

 

[Shrimper_Apes]

I believe theres an overground train which goes straight to white hart lane so i'll be gettin that

It goes from liverpool street.. im not too sure wht line it is on tho. but i'll look on the website and contact u.

yep platforms 1 to 8 from Liverpool street...

One Team In Essex
SOUTHEND UNITED FC

It's the Cambridge/Harlow line, however there are huge queues after games as the trains aren't particularly frequent.

Another option is Seven Sisters tube station on the Victoria Line - a bit of a longer trek down the delightful Tottenham High Road, but I would guess a more more service and probably not as bust as White Hart Lane station.

Looking at a map of the area, Northumberland Park station might be worth using if White Hart Lane station is very busy.

There is a C2C train for Shoeburyness leaving Liverpool Street at 22:58, this will be worth getting if we can wrap up the tie in 90 minutes! There is also a C2C service leaving from Liverpool Street at 23:58, all the other C2C trains are running from Fenchurch Street though.

Southend Victoria to Liverpool St

Overground Liverpool St to White Hart Lane station

Short walk to the ground

Heaving on the trains, and a long queue on the way back but it is the most direct (done it once this season already)

Im letting the Trust Coach take the strain

 

[EastStandBlue]

Driving to Barking and then getting WHL from there...

Yea I am going up with a few mates from work who are Spurs fans.

Going about midday i think.

 

[GregStarz]

Will I be ok leaving Rayleigh at about 5?

That'll give you plenty of time SUFC

Personally I've secured a car park spot at work so I'll be driving and parking north of the ground as close to the North Circular as possible. I've had many years experience of getting trains back from there in the past. Not good !

 

[Palaceshrimp]

I will be leaving from Barking on the Gospel Oak line to South Tottenham and then take bus up Tottenham high rd from there. It saves going to London and back out again!

 

[Southend_Lady]

I was thinking if out of some miricle we actually push spurs to extra time and possibly penalties that will mean most likely missing the last train back from liv street or fenchurch??

 

[Davros]

there is a 00.50 train from Liverpool street back to Southend Vic, and as gates are open late at night i dont htink they have probs with C2C using it.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

i am driving there, would like to get the train for the atmosphere and to be with all the shrimpers but me dad wants to drive.

i am leaving pretty early though at 4, as meeting a few Spurs fans up there!

cannot wait until wednesday!!!!!!!!

 

[Hawkwell Shrimper]

And now too the other important question! What time is everyone leaving that are going on the trains from Southend Vic?!

How long is a long que? Half and hour?

Do they lay on extra trains or is it a once a half hour job?

 

[Billy Bests boot laces]

According to the timetable, trains depart White Hart Lane at 22.47, 23.02, 23.32, and 23.47. It takes 22 minutes to get back to Liverpool Street. On the Northumberland Park - Liverpool St. line there is only 1 train at 23.13.

At least half hour
