trains from stratford after frankfurt
|
|
my son's train home to norwich from stratford would be 11.30. will that be a problem with queues after the game? i know it's taken me nearly half that to get as far as the cow after a game. although he's 20 he's travelling alone and not very streetwise, i'd be horrified of him missing that train and being locked out in stratford overnight.

The match finishes at 9.45pm ish. It doesn't take 1 hour 45 mins to get to the platform from the stadium even on a match day. He can always go on the back route past Carpenters and through the estate over the bridge that goes over the Jubilee Line into the far station entrance if he doesn't want to do the stop go boards.

Going the through the estate will probably be more dangerous

I would tell him to leave early, don't want to end up in a Hotel for the night with a load of fat German's

Safe as houses, plenty of supporters walking to Stratford station. Half hour walk at most unless your a tortoise.

Just follow most people back to the station. He'll be as safe a houses.

He's worried about him being stuck in Stratford overnight, not the walk!
I can't imagine how he could ever miss that train, but as long as he's quick on his feet on the walk he'll beat most people.

yes i know he'll be safe with our supporters, it was more the time in the queue getting to the station with the worry of missing the train.

If he’s not very streetwise, I’d be more worried about him being knocked senseless by some kraut thug.

he's been to quite a few games alone but has previously used stratford international which has less queues. returning to uni in norwich this time is the first time he's used the busier station.

Unless he stays in the ground for 15 mins after the final whistle so is one of the last to leave, there is no way he will miss and 11:30pm train from Stratford...and even if he did stay for 15 mins after the final whistle he would probably still make it in time.
The queues are a pain in the arse but they are not that bad that it would take someone over an hour and a half to get from their seat to the platform.

He'll have no problem at all catching that train. I dawdled after the Seville game and still caught a 23.12 - and that was after 30 mins extra time and mucho celebrating

Cutting the apron strings might help him get there.

I've been letting my kids go to and from the match on their own since they were mid teens. Have I been doing parenting wrong all this time?

Even with the crowds at its peak the walk to the platform at Stratford can be no more than 30 mins max. Loads of time.
Otherwise he could leave 5 mins early

If he is far side of the ground then may be worth walking to hackney wick. One stop right into the heart of Stratford station and no queues.
I have done it and works a treat…but last European game the closed hackney wick due to staff shortages and it was a fucking nightmare as I then had to walk back to Stratford!
