    I'm down for the Trust AGM and staying on for the match on Saturday. Please don't ask why or turn this into a pros and cons of boycotting thread.

    I have a simple Q: going to visit step mum in care home in Darenth on Sat morning. Was planning to jump on train back from Dartford to Charlton, but there don't seem to be any direct ones? Any recommendations on best/ quickest way back?

    I go from my parents place in Chatham (home from uni for the weekend) so I'm on the same line as Dartford. When this happens (regularly) I get the train to Blackheath ans either bus/cab it... about half the time of taking a rail replacement bus through the ghetto of erith and Slade green (did that once and some smackheads threatened to kill me - genuinely feared for my safety so won't be doing that again).
    Why? Were you trying to steal their smack?

    No I had a seat (because I'd already been on the bus for about an hour) and they didn't. (Although there were spare seats upstairs...

    I presume you offered your seat up then Canters, always best to avoid confrontation :wink: .

    I probably would have had they of asked. I did end up leaving the seat a few moments later once the threats and grabbing started.

    Not sure what the situation is for Saturday?

    I won't be affected this time but just thought @i_b_b_o_r_g would appreciate me bumping this in any case.

    Very belated thanks to @redman and @Eynsfordaddick for helping us out last time.

    We pass through LB, but the platform we would have used to get to Charlton is being worked on now, so we change at Victoria and pass straight through.

    Funny enough going this way gets us back in Bedford earlier, downside is Saturday night tv.

    London Bridge open so either!

    Cannon Street only doing 1/2 hourly via Greenwich (NOT stopping at London Bridge)

    Charing Cross also doing 1/2 hourly via Waterloo East, London Bridge and Lewisham

    The trains to Charlton from Charing Cross stop at London Bridge now, if that's any help. They leave Waterloo East at 12 and 42 so a few (five?) minutes later at LB.

    As an "outsider" I usually love London transport, but when it goes wrong then I'm totally at a loss. One night when Bexleyheath trains were cancelled I jumped on a Plumstead train on the basis that it's quite close to B'heath. Got off the train and caught the first bus that had B'heath on the front. It took a really roundabout route via Slade Green where some very dodgy characters got on board, one of the very few times that London has given me the fear.
    Nuffink wrong with Slade Green folk.

    Salt of the earth characters.
    Genuinely thought I was going to get stabbed on a rail replacement bus at 12pm on a Saturday. By someone with 3 teeth and the world's most greasy hair. That's enough Slade Green for me..
    Didn't know Elfsborg came from Slade green
    You're funny man.

    What is wrong with Slade Green anyway?

    Make sure you let the station staff know so they can arrange for the wheelchair ramp.

    He also ought to write down where he lives in case he forgets. He ended up getting back Sunday afternoon from the Ramblers last Friday.
