when i looked at the train it was like a £40 return !
There's a good few advance fares at the moment, long as you don't mind getting a fixed time train...
You can go from New Street to Euston, or Moor Street/Snow Hill to Marylebone.
ie;
does anybody know how to then get from Euston to the ground? as 10 miles away.
thank you
From Euston either;
1. Northern Line (black) Southbound (Morden) - alight at London Bridge.
2. From London Bridge, either a South Eastern Railway service to Dartford (Platform 6) or Cannon Street (Platform 1) OR a Thameslink service to Rainham (Platform 4). Probably be waiting, at most, 15 mins for any of them. Alight at Charlton and the ground is very near.
£4.30 if using contactless payment.
OR
1. 10 min walk east along Euston road to St Pancras Station (the pretty building, not King's Cross but right next door) ... or the Victoria Line (light blue) or Northern Line (black) will also take you there without having to go outside.
2. From St Pancras Platform A (it's underground down an escalator at the far end of the station), a Thameslink service towards Rainham. Every half an hour at :02 and :32. Journey takes 32min. Alight at Charlton.
From Marylebone:
- Same mainline trains but to get to St Pancras, a short walk (10 min) to Baker Street station, then any westbound Circle/Hammersmith&City/Metropolitan Line train (yellow/pink/purple).
- Or, to go to London Bridge instead, again a short walk to Baker Street station but this time it's the Jubilee Line (silver) southbound (toward Stratford). Alight at London Bridge.
If you have a half-decent phone, you should use an app called Citymapper; it's very useful for these situations. Make sure it knows where you are, tell it where you want to get to by address or on a map and it'll show you a choice of the quickest or otherwise best ways to get there by all public transport.
It even has data for the West Midlands now
