Couldn't have done it this weekend when we don't have a game.

Oh no, that far too easy a solution. 

Just like the Blackwell Tunnel closures.

So if your coming from London, it's Elizabeth Line to Woolwich/Jubilee to North Greenwich and bus/walk

Trains from Cannon Street via Greenwich are still running terminating at Plumstead.

For anyone coming from London, it seems to be suggesting going via Victoria on the Saturday too which seems a bit bizarre for me!

Looking at this am I right in thinking that trains between Charlton and Central London are not affected?

They are affected, less trains to London Bridge & no Thameslink trains via Central London.

Or take the DLR from the nearby station to Woolwich Arsenal.

There's a bit of a walk through the shopping centre to the Jubilee line.

Also, Sidcup Line trains are running from Dartford, so can get train to Lewisham or London Bridge and change.

Crusty thanks for the heads up with the DLR works better and saves the walk

If the local disruption wasn't bad enough I have just found out LNER trains from Newark to Peterborough replaced by buses on Saturday. Was going to make the trip down but not any more!
I really hate our rail network.
