Peter and Chris N, are you attending? They both replied not at this time.
Chris S, any responses from the potential new members?

I'll aim to be at Canning town station by 10:15. My mobile number is 07952 943248 if you need to contact me.

Hope to see you all on Saturday and the weather stays decent.

Just one newbie coming along - Brian Jenkins.

Hi Ian,

Sorry, I won't be able to make the outing this Saturday.

Is anyone else starting from Orpington station? Should we meet up?
If so, either the 9:09am (arrives 09:31) or 9:39am (arrives 10:01) to London Bridge, then the Jubilee Line to Canning Town?
Ian will be at Canning Town at 10:15am.
Thoughts/comments?

Yes Jan, could meet at station for 9am assuming the earlier we leave the coaches will be empty !

Forecast not brilliant with some showers but better than clear blue skies

Hi Jan,  

Good idea to meet up at Orpington  Station.  I will be there at 9am.

Hi,

There's a bus replacement service on trains between Orpington and Lewisham this weekend. https://www.southeasternrailway.co.uk/travel-information/live-travel-information/planned-engineering-work?date=2021-07-10#engineering-departure-board. TFL journey planner still shows trains departing Ok, weird.
I'm taking the DLR from Woolwich, it's 20 minutes from home.

Weather could be changeable, I'm British, will pack a jacket and umbrella, as well as the camera.

See you Saturday.

Thanks for this Ian, I have been caught with these replacement services and definitely a no go area.

Also looked at Woolwich but not sure where to park safely, any ideas plus timing.

Chris and Jan, if you want a lift with windows open I’am available.

Barrie,

I'm parking my car @ Woolwich Arsenal Station car park, it is a long stay car park and secure. It is £4.30 for the day. You might need an app to pay, have just setup the app for myself. Details here:

You can take the 51 bus but it is about 1 hour from Orpington to Woolwich!

Hi Barrie,

Thanks for your offer of a lift to Woolwich.  I am happy to join you and will wear a mask if it helps.
