hello @river heath

river heath
#

what do you need help with?

valid oasis
#

idk which train to get

#

bc the show is 19:30

river heath
#

so the train you'll get will be into one of the main london stations (paddington, waterloo, st pancras maybe?) and then the best way to navigate london is using the tube

valid oasis
#

ye into Paddington is best from Oxford

river heath
#

so i'd look up tube routes from paddington to brixton

valid oasis
#

ye it's about half an hour both ways

river heath
#

that should also give you an approx time (which you should add plenty of wiggle room into)

#

yeah so just decide what time you want to be queueing from and work backwards to work out what time to get your initial train :)

valid oasis
#

no i mean the train back

#

i'm probably gonna spend most of the day in london bc i can

river heath
#

can you get an open return? it might be a little more expensive but saves the stress of having to get back for a specific train after the show

valid oasis
#

i could but GWR has OXF <-> London Paddington for £5

valid oasis
river heath
#

yeah girl get that

valid oasis
#

so i assume you are starting to see my predicament

valid oasis
#

bc i don't want to have to leave midshow and i want a bit of wiggle room after

river heath
#

i think that's up to you to decide! i'd personally check average concert length, then add walk to tube, add how long the tube takes (with at least 15 minutes extra bc late night trains don't run so often) and see where you end up

valid oasis
#

there's also an 00:31 on the 20th but it gets in at 2am so no.

valid oasis
river heath
#

i have it at 19:00 on my calendar

valid oasis
#

ye you right

river heath
valid oasis
#

average show length is 1h45m

#

i need help doing math

#

@river heath i think of this bunch the 22:28 is probably my best bet does that sound right?

river heath
#

i'm not being responsible for your train time booking haha

valid oasis
#

fair enough

#

ik you're not responsible but you have been in the uk for longer than me

river heath
#

yeah i've given you all the information i can! just beware of possible delays and the fact that late night tubes are less frequent

valid oasis
#

show 01:45
travel 01:00 (32m Tube + 7m venue-Tube + 21m wiggle room)
= 21:45

#

ye i don't want to be screwed by delays and i want to make clear that i am the only person responsible for my train happenings

#

it's more of a "did-ember-do-anything-really-stupid" question i think

river heath
#

all looks fairly reasonable to me

valid oasis
#
  • it looks like Tubes go on the Victoria line every three or four minutes
river heath
#

did you check the night tube? it's sometimes different

valid oasis
river heath
#

yeah seems good then

valid oasis
#

ty scrappy :)

valid oasis
river heath
#

it makes sense to check i just don't want to be held accountable for any mistakes hahaha i'm stressing enough about my own travel heart_friends

#

it all looks okay from my end

valid oasis
#

this is the "did i do anything really effing stupid" check

#

again thank you so much i appreciate you scrappy

#

@valid oasis dunno if you've used it before or have been around London, but the app Citymapper is very useful! It's a navigation app geared towards public transport and unmotorised vehicles. What's good about it is it gets live updates from tfl to let you know about disruptions on tube, bus routes, where congestion is etc.

Really handy, use it pretty much everytime I travel to a major city

valid oasis
#

i decided to book the 22:18 back to Oxford — just a faster train. so as long as i leave the venue by like 21:30 i’ll be fine

valid oasis
#

i don’t think i can be on theme

loud slate
#

river heath
#

because i have class the next morning and i don’t see a world where i get back before 2am to oxford unless i crash at whatever y’all are doing overnight and my train is for 22:20 and i need to calm the fuck down

loud slate
#

*externally

valid oasis
#

ye you’re right

#

i need to just stop

loud slate
#

Take a breath, it'll be ok

#

If you need to leave early, that's what you'll have to do

valid oasis
#

tbh there’s a part of me that wants to just sell my ticket and skip the hassle

#

but i know that’s my internal stupidity

valid oasis
#

i forgot that busses exist

reef pier
#
