Watford away - train carnage?

SeafordBHA said:

Please could someone confirm this shouldn't affect anyone getting train from the south, changing at Clapham for the Overground via Willesdon Junction to Watford?

Thanks

I know exactly the one you mean and there were a few memorable moments. I was in the carriage where all the commotion occurred. We got on at Clapham and had to wait for some time before the train started. The train was heaving. No-one could move and a large group of rowdy lads were serenading a young lady near them. Smutty references ("get your rat out for the lads" was one suggestion), a few compliments and even offers to pay for a ticket for her to accompany them. An old couple who were sitting down nearby were obviously scared out of their wits and got off the train.

I was in like Flint and nabbed one of the vacant seats. One of the lads from the noisy group sat next to me and we got chatting. He then pulled down the little rack from the back of the seat in front of him and started to rack up a huge line of charlie. Having carefully lined it all up, he rolled up the note and then put his head down to sniff it up. Trouble was that every time he tried to bend forward his head hit the back of the seat in front. He persevered though and it was like watching a sparrow keep flying into a window. After a few attempts I piped up:

"Here matey, can I make a suggestion?"

He looked at me and I think half-expecting a lecture or somesuch. "Oh yeah. What's that?"

"It might be easier if you lined up the coke so that it goes sideways rather than up and down"

Talk about a eureka moment. "bloody hell mate. That is so simple it's effing genius".

He and his mates all then tucked in, the last kiddie must only have been about 16 and looked very nervous. "Have you done it before?" I asked. "Course I have" he replied. He took a deep breath, sniffed it up and straight away had the mother of all nose bleeds.

Any advice/experience on parking for Watford? Have always taken the train before, but given likely train problems on Saturday, and that I can't leave Brighton particularly early on Saturday, I'm thinking of driving if the parking situation is ok, but no idea how easy it is to find a space within walking distance of Vicarage Road.

Trainwise I think our plan is to get a Thamelink to St Pancras, then suck it up on the Metro across to Watford tube.
