Central line

Post by moonwalk19 »

If I am not mistaken the Central line will not be running on Saturday. This creates huge problems for fans trying to get to the game

I am not mistaken in that you pay no attention to other posts on this Board. Get a grip.

How are you proposing to resolve this?

I understand that pump trolleys will be available on the Central Line on Saturday. You know, those little carts that you used to see in old Westerns where two guys pump a handle up and down to propel a little cart along the tracks. Max capacity is 6 though, so plan your journey carefully

How does one book a seat on this football special? And is there first class?

I believe season ticket holders can do it online via the Orient ticket office and is limited to one per supporter. Be aware that if you currently get more than one season ticket through your account you will need to set up a separate linked account to facilitate a smooth transaction.

When carrying out your transaction please remain calm at all times. The club is aware of how difficult new technology is for our OAPs.

Supporters club staff can pick up their free tickets for them, their family, pals and acquaintances from the office.

Probably less hassle to just get the bus.

I can’t remember my password, should I set up a new account or is there a phone number I can ring or a queue I can join.

Are you a patient man? If not, just get the bus.

It’s a 25 minute walk.

By the time you’ve arsed around with the bus crowds and the shenanigans at Stratford station it will work out about the same time to get here on foot.

Go to Barking on District Line, then change to the Overground (I don't know which of Sadiq's politically correctly named Lines this is) and take that to Leyton Midland Road station, come out of the station turn left and follow the crowd - no, not the one to Tesco's (anyone remember Max Boyce?) - the one to Brizzie Road.

There is no actual seating available. Standing room only, which will be regarded as first class thus attracting premium pricing. Second class travel is available which is running along the track behind the pump trolley. They move relatively slowly so you should be able to keep up with it

Not sure walking is a good idea, as this may involve map reading or an interaction with a well known online mapping app. I suspect our OAP crew would struggle a bit.

There will also be the chance of fighty stuff as Stoke Ports have the same disadvantage.

Should be decent weather, looking forward to stretching my legs before and after the game. Especially if Richie needs me to play

It’s a 25 minute ‘walk’ if you run!
Google maps give 36 mins via A112 or 42 mins by the more pleasant route.
Call it 40 mins give or take.

25 minutes to run 1.5 miles? Shouldn't take more than 15 at a gentle jog.
