8.41am train to LB

[Strawbs]

anyone know if it is uber uber packed? Or am I better off getting the 8.56? Get to have a wee sleep in tomorrow and dont have to be in to work at Can Wharf til 9.30 yay!!

[Michael Palaeologus]

It should be a little quieter than normal because the summer hols will have started, just how quiet however, is another question!

[Hannah6_6]

It probably won't be that busy, either would be OK, trains have been a bit quieter this week, I sometimes get the 8.41 and it's generally OK.

[Hannah6_6]

Plus Friday always quietest anyway.

I always get a seat on the 8.05 and the 8.15 so I am sure you will be Ok on the 8.41 - best to head for the back of the train though

[Strawbs]

Perfect!! thank you... I normally get the 7.51 and find that's fine so long as you are prepared to stand.. Got a blissful seat on the 7.29 this morning but was dreading being a sardine on the 8.41 tomorrow..

7.29! God, I think I was still in bed then this morning....and hungover.

Clearly my work ethic needs looking at.

Dude I was hungover and stomping to the train station as of about 7.15 - shocker! After promising myself a night in tonight it looks like Im out again so it will be a repeat performance tomorrow but at a much more respectable hour! >:D< After 5 nights on the trot I think I am going to have liver poisoning just in time for the PC on sat!

Strawbs,

Ever considered cycling? ED to Can Wharf about 40 mins (maybe less if you're really fit), mostly flat. You always have a seat, get lots of fresh air, its cheaper than a gymn, improves cardio fitness, tones up thighs and calves and is way cheaper and more pleasant than public transport. I'm up to 3 x week instead of bus / train - in this weather it's far better than being slowly broiled in the sardine like company of too many others.

Lots of advice on best routes on the forum. One of a number of threads below.

I am far far too scared of being killed by a crazy driver to do that!! ::o Also unfortunately I have exercise induced anaphylaxis so its a no no for me unfortunately.. :(

Everyone packs on to the 8.35, meaning you can pretty much guarantee getting a seat on the 8.41. 8.56 is a little bit busier, but you can usually get a seat.

[ClareC]

8.41 is not packed, even at the popular "front end" there are even odd seats available! You can guarantee a seat further back :)
