Advance tickets £43.05
Off-peak tickets with Network Railcard (Costs £30, valid for 1 year, up to 4 can travel together) £37.90 for two - mostly by train, only a short bus journey.
Using a contactless credit card (or Oyster card but that is more work) single fare across London is £2.80 at weekends.
Ealing is the other side of London, near the A40 / A406 junction at Hanger Lane underground station. I dread to think of the road journey, A12 - A406 or A12 - M25 - A1 (M) then A406, traffic congestion in places shouts out to me.
Possibly the only reason for doing the trip as you describe is the free parking, and possibly missing football crowds at Stratford, but West Ham will be playing away this coming weekend!
Thanks for the reply. Network disruption part of col-lst.
But with swmbo's back don.t fancy the bus-train-bus ttrain-underground and then return, hovering in queues as the bus drivers make people wait on the station forecourts before boarding, plus waiting time. Only 2 would have gone maybe if the train-bus replacements were not messing it up.
3 of us and a dog to Ealing, (although the dog won't see the dentist). ticket prices when i looked £84 someting, 1 network railcard, swmbo and 2 seniors, Sis in law and orb. add to that 6 X £2.80 and the central line noise which would frighten Blod the dog.
Sadly the reason for doing it by car is door to door slightly quicker, a comparison being Colchester to Ealing 3 tickets as above same price as Colchester to Edinburgh which is 4 times the distance. Believe me, I don't enjoy driving in London, Route by the way if all well Colchester A12 the M25j28-23 the A1 down to brent cross and north circ to ealing common.
then reverse,
Earlyish on a saturday going it;s about 1 hr 40 minutes Nice caff in Ealing Broadway mall for full english brekkie and real coffee £5.95.
