Arsenal play on the Sunday before so I doubt
I doubt it would happen, but I suspect the majority of Arsenal fans will also be affected and bearing in mind they may play a second 11 anyway just before the World Cup break, so I wouldn’t totally discount it just yet.

Is there any update on this? Getting several thousand up to London in mid week during a train strike is going to be a bit of an issue!
Sounds dangerous!

A lot of the articles I’ve read had said tubes will be affected too etc? Would be good to know for definite / maybe double check on the Monday when there’s strikes due but I’m sure you know more than me!

Apologies looks like TFL on strike as well on the 9th

Really unclear, looks like only LU overground plus Elizabeth line but the "some tube" reference is really vague. Need to look closer to the date I guess.
Coach?

Agree. Was looking to drive to Wimbledon area and get a tube.

Booked a drive on Your Parking Space, just over 20 minute walk from the ground for £6.24

That's my plan, I'm only a few miles from Wimbledon so very easy for me though - may even cycle there. Not sure what parking will be like in Wimbledon and the traffic during train stikes has been appalling previously but certainly worth a try.

It's an absolute shit show and really highlights how poor it is that you have to take out insurance against this sort of thing (not a criticism of Brighton before I set the Chailey bot off).
This means that there are some underground stations that are owned by National Rail that will be effected. For example, in the most recent strike like this one, the Elizabeth Line was running in the middle section. but Farringdon station only had one exit (Barbican/Smithfield) as the main station was closed due to the strike.
The London Underground network will be running next Wendesday (as per current information), this is unlikely to include the wider Overground network though.
Southern will update their information on Friday (4th) here and we'll only know then if it is possible to get to London from Sussex.
If the last time is anything to go by it will probably be possible, but difficult, to get to Arsenal, and almost impossible to go back to Sussex via train after the game.

I checked out Seagull Travel and they had no spaces left - they were hoping to source other coaches, so we'll see

Haha - Barber's Chailey bot - bless dear old Paul for thinking that one would go un-noticed!
