What a nightmare, it's bad enough coming from Ipswich with rail replacement services to Newbury park already. Any other suggestions? Other than a helicopter. Might give this game a miss now.

Get the 220 from Shepherd's Bush straight down mate. Or if you can get to West Brompton on the Overground get on the 74 or 430 from there

Route planner says Hammersmith is still open.  Walk from there is about 25 mins.

I don't think it will go ahead.
They saying 60/70 gales now,with the Riverside gone its going to be difficult.

It looks like the Hammersmith and City line is working Saturday but tube planner takes you to Sheperds Bush and then bus!? Doesn't make sense!?

Always when we are at home why cant they do this during the off season typical TFL hope we get a new mayor who understands the nature of having to get to games especially now that hammersmith bridge is closed

With the gales and the tubes being down,I most probably going to give it a miss(wife's orders lol)
Too much hassle to get there and then there's the chance after all the travel chaos they call it off.
Only be second game at Cottage I've missed this season.

Get the tube to Waterloo then change onto the mainline from Waterloo to Putney.

I always. Get the bus from Shepherd's Bush it is very straightforward

Come out of the tube station turn right and go across the road towards the cinema

Bus stop located directly outside. The subway shop

Take the 220 to king wood road and the stadium is a 2 minute walk from there

The bus replacement service from Wimbledon is reasonably efficient but can get stuck approaching Putney High Street. Best to get the driver to let you off and walk when you get there.

My reading of the closures was also that Hammersmith was still available via the district line?
