Arsenal Train Issues (1 Viewer)

Has anyone else noticed difficulties with getting the train back after the game? (travelling to and from Coventry), Ive tried finsbury park and holloway road, and, for example, on the way back, The tube leaves finsbury park at 22:54 and arrives at london euston at 23:30, the exact minute 23:30, that the london euston to coventry train leaves at. Meaning theres no change over time and you wont make it. So how the hell can i get the train back to Coventry after the game?!?!
N.B Before anyone says, we would like to get down there early, so that we can have a fair few drinks around london, hence i dont want to get any coach. thanks in advance.

Have a responsible non drinker and drive like I am.

All the best.

The only way you can do it is hope to hell the match doesn't go to ET and penalties.

If the game finishes at 2140ish, surely you could make it to Euston for 2330?

We're driving down not sure about parking tho

Pretty sure there is a tube every 5mins to Euston from Finsbury Park. Only takes 7mins to get there as well.

I'm sure there will be room on the Arsenal bandwagon!

Honestly. Fuck off. Over there. Right over there.

Get a coach ticket from the club and just use it to get you back home, easy.

ah good idea, only problem is where to find it? at old trafford, they were all nowhere near the ground? will they let me just get it on the way back?

mine was dead opposite the ground. couldnt have got any closer to be honest

I think we'll all be OK, plenty of trains, takes 7/8 mins

Off the transport for London site. Wouldn't take any notice of national rail for the tube

Thats what i find too. Should have no drama's at all.

CUS Wyken · Sep 21, 2012

Also what station is nearest to the our end?

hemelsky · Sep 21, 2012

Highbury & Islington on the Victoria line is possibly best - I think just 2 stops from Euston and a lot less busy than Arsenal & Finsbury Park

RichieGunns · Sep 21, 2012

I have a question.

I'm looking to buy myself a ticket online but im not sure how to book the club coaches...any ideas?

And i know you don't wanna get a coach but try National Express Coaches. They are quite cheap (around £15) and its a 2 and a half hour journey max.

On the Wednesday, Assuming you want to get there early here are some of coach times i just pulled up...

GOING:

Leave - Coventry - 11:15
Arrive - London Victoria - 13:50

COMING BACK:

Leave - London Victoria - 23:00 or 23:30
Arrive - Coventry - 01:10 or 02:10

I use National Express on a regular basis and they've always been good!

Yep – that's definitely the best idea. The Emirates is walkable from Highbury Corner (Highbury and Is. tube station), or you can get pretty much any bus up the Holloway Road and then walk.

Sorry – I should have said that the best place to get off the bus is either outside London Met Uni or Holloway Road tube station.

I think the 271, 43, and the 393 all go past London Met/Holloway Road from Highbury Corner.

But it's probably quicker to walk, given the traffic on match nights.
