🚌 Chelsea Travel 🚝

[taunton pilgrim]

I'm driving up to Taunton Saturday morning, leaving car at Premier Inn hotel, then walking the short way to Taunton train station to get the 7:28 train. Gets me in Paddington at 9:29. Get train back to Taunton at 17:04, and spend a night in Taunton premier Inn. Cost of hotel £35, and train return £54. Great deal, and avoids the rail works.

Yes, Tilley’s Coaches of Wainhouse Corner still run to all home games.
I understand that they are not running to Chelsea though.

Many thanks !

If this helps at all:
Booked the Prem at Chiswick Fri- Sun (3 miles from SB) two nights twin at £45 each

GWR train Plym- Lon Pad Friday 4th (direct as works don’t start until Saturday 5th) return Sunday 6th (super off peak) £71

That’s a return train and two nights accommodation £136. That’s a really good way to make a trip of it and relatively economically

Have you used a discount card too ?

I do have a veterans rail card (the prices for the train are based on four adults)

It’s the new one, introduced a couple of years back, think it gives me a third off.
I have a veterans TFL card though which gives me free Tube and rail travel in London (war pensioner). It makes London an attractive place to visit tbh

Thanks for the info, we switched our plans to do something similar. With the 1h20 drive to Taunton its saved us plenty on train tickets 👍

One thing to note is that face coverings will still be mandatory on any TFL services, being the tube, buses or overground. It is possible you could be refused entry to a station without one. Could quite well be enforced in the queues at Fulham Broadway after the game.

There won’t be any queues at Fulham Broadway after the game because it will be closed as it always is after Chelsea games. Make sure you plan your journey for after the match and know which way you should be heading.

Not what TFL told me when I DM them. It was open after the Chelsea v Spurs game.

If you are getting the Waterloo to Exeter service you can get on at Clapham Junction, that is about 10 minutes by train from West Brompton station which is 20 minutes walk from Stamford Bridge.
You can buy a ticket from West Brompton to the station you are travelling to.
