Euston to New Beckenham to Central London

[ChrisTheRef]

Morning!

In a few weeks, I'm travelling from Liverpool to New Beckenham to referee a match. My train will arrive into Euston early on a Sunday morning. I then need to travel from Euston to New Beckenham.
After the match, I'll be meeting some friends in Central London for a meal (but I don't know where!) before returning to Euston for the train home.

Basically, can I use my Oyster card for the entire journey and do we have a rugh guess at how much it'll cost?

See the TfL fares finder: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/tickets/f...Underground]&dn=New+Beckenham+[National+Rail]

You may be better off getting a through ticket to New Beckenham. Check Avantix or Virgin Trains' website.

All fares off peak as it's Sunday.


Euston [LUL] to Beckenham Junction
£3.40

Beckenham Junction to [Misc. Zone 1]
£3.40

[Misc. Zone 1] to Euston [LUL]
£1.80


Total fare:
£9.40


Zones 1-4
Off-Peak Zones 1-4 Price Cap
Total Fare: £6.40

It's a Sunday, so off-peak. I can travel with Virgin for free, so the ticket would be 1072 to NBC

If the OP has a Railcard loaded onto his Oyster he should be capped at £4.15 for Zones 1-4.

A ticket from 1072 to NBC would only get you from valid Southern region terminals to New Beckenham and not from Euston.

Thanks guys, just so I know what to claim back from The FA

Folks, slight problem with the original plan...

It's a Sunday, and Britain doesn't really wake up til lunchtime on a Sunday. As such, the earliest arrival into London from Liverpool is after 11am (kick off time)

Can anyone find anyway of me getting into London by 9:30am? 10am at the absolute latest. I don't care how complicated it is!

Your help, as always, is invaluable

Looking at 12th September as an example, the only way I can see is a coach from Liverpool leaving at 11.40pm on Saturday night, getting in at 6.20am on Sunday. There are no trains arriving sufficiently early and I don't expect there to be any. Getting to London by 10am say would require a fast train from Liverpool at 8am or a slow train even earlier and there would just be no demand.

Chris,

1) You really need to tell us which Sunday to offer the correct advice.
2) However, it's looking grim. I think you need to find a b&b nearby and arrive on Saturday evening. At least stop somewhere near to London so you have less distance to cover on Sunday.
3) If it's 19th September then you're doubly screwed as the line through New Beckenham is closed all day.

It's Sunday 12th, sorry about that!

The furthest north I can see you can start your journey would be Northampton, fancy spending a night there?

edit: or Bicester North...

 

[ChrisTheRef]

I may never wake up :P

Can you claim for flying? Or does it have to be by the cheapest way possible?

If you can get to Derby for 0650 or 0752 getting into St Pancras for 0916 and 1020 respectively then thats possible. One thing about EMT I love, their early Sunday MML trains

Or a 0430 Megabus from Manchester, taking 4 hours but only costing £8. Not quite sure how you'd get into Manchester unless you fancy waiting around from 0039 when the last train arrives.

there is the overnight National Express coach from Liverpool, 23:40 - 6:20.

if you need a cheap room in London, the university halls are mostly still available. e.g. the LSE in Holborn is £30 with continental breakfast.
