Have just been reading a Tube circular which warns that on the weekend of the Aussie v Kiwi match there will be TRACK REFURBISHMENTS on both the District Line from HAMMERSMITH to RICHMOND & EALING and on the Picadilly Line between HAMMERSMITH & NORTHFIELDS.
Great timing........RFL, you should have checked with London Transport about their 'refurbishment' plans before selecting the Twickenham Stoop for the match.
It will mean that the only train route from north, east and central areas will be via Waterloo to the infamous SW trains to Twickenham and then a long hike thru the back streets to the Stoop.
PS: What a contrast to Sydney travel on Grand Final day. Your ticket included FREE TRAVEL to/from the venue.!!!

Big deal-Club Wembley get a free train from London on match day.
What you are failing to understand is Sydney is a village compared to London.
Some 14000 max crowd doesn't compare to 70000 for what is in essence the FA cup final for the convicts
But hey if it makes you feel better or hopefully means you wont be at the Stoop all the better-
Ps how did you get on with the Aussies you whinging swine-I hope they dont think we are all like you as there will be no barmen to serve the beer around the town

Good idea but what about the 'capacity' on the route @ 60+ per bus! It means a very early start and late home arrival etc etc......
Also do not fancy the walk through the local back streets......post match no toilets on the route so it will have to be the front gardens again......not good for London RL but the Aussies & Kiwis don't care it's only one game.

How does tube maintenance affect your walk to / from the Stoop ? Surely you would have needed to walk from somewhere to the Stoop or is there a tube stop under the new stand that I somehow missed.
