I might walk slower than you do though! i don't fancy walking KX-Victoria! I will have to study the map to see what's what!

 

Mark,
Yes, Herston Works will be open both Saturday and Monday from just before the railtours arrive until about the time they leave. Ron would love to meet you, and any other railtour patrons [or anyone in fact !], and take you on a guided tour of Southern Locomotives' current activities.
More walking involved [Approx 15 - 20 mins max. ?] -
Out of Station, turn left into Rempstone Road and go to end where the 'T' junction is controlled by traffic lights, turn left into Victoria Avenue. Walk along V. Ave for about half a mile until you reach a Texaco garage just after which is the right turn into Herston Industrial Estate. Herston Works is the big building at the back with large roller shutter doors. Don't leave it too late to set off ready to catch your railtour home.
On arrival at Swanage you can get Hot & Cold drinks, Sandwiches, basic hot meals, and the shop has plenty of stock including limited issues of celebratory Mugs and T-Shirts. The town's shops, pubs and cafes are also aware of the arrival of both trains !
The weather forecasts are looking hopeful [-o<

 

Tickets arrived today with the lovely dilemma of not being able to get to catch the train with the original plan ](*,)

 

Transport for London's "Journey Planner"
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk
has got the tube closures and will give bus/tube alternatives, eg. KX-Victoria: Piccadilly line then bus.

Richard

 

You can catcb the No 73 bus from Kings Cross to Victoria.

 

Cheers Buzby! Will give that a go,we used to walk over from a caravan site about 3 miles out and passed the works so i think i know where you mean,not many places to get lost in Swanage anyway!

A visual representation.

Does it work ?

 

That's what I'm doing on Saturday, but my dad refuses to go bendy, so to speak!

 

is the circle line runing???

 

Even if it is you could walk quicker!

The Circle is open according to the TfL site,

Lines Closed are as follows:
District-Part Closure
H'msmith + City-Part Closure
Jubilee-Part Closure
Met-Part Suspended
Northern-Part Closure

Nevermind going on a Bendy,i refuse to catch a bus in London,last time i ended up in a racist row (some guy was telling me he was going to slit their throats,till he got rugby tackled by police!) or i might end up somewhere stupid!

Cheers,
Mark

 

Cheers Beaker,not too far from where we used to stay in the Rly Cottage then.

 

see you on saturday mark dont get lost crossing london

 

Don't worry we'll be on the M25,having a lie in till 5AM for a change!

 

number 73 bus is your friend

 

I've edited my original post due to brain failure ..... #-o ](*,)

Herston Works open on Saturday and Monday [not Sunday !].

Hope anyone having to use London Underground manages to get their way around the various closures.

Look forward to seeing railtour particpants - we've tried to arrange Sunny afternoons for you all [-o< =D> \/ 8-[

47245 may not be the booked diesel for the diesel legs of these two tours. There's a possibility that WCRC might use 37706.

 

37 PLEASE west coast, it will make the weekend more enjoyable
