Hi all,

I'll be stopping in Chertsey Surrey for a few nights at the beginning of April.

I'll be wanting to do a couple of sightseeing trips into the capital so will be looking at using the train service and then the tube.

Now being from the Midlands the last time I used public transport was the School bus.

So from Chertsey where should I be looking at going to etc?

Any info or web links would be great.

Cheers
Lee

Middle of nowheresville I'm afraid. You'd be looking at getting to Woking for a direct link to Waterloo. I've heard from others marooned there that taxis are the only realistic option.

Not visiting EA by any chance are you?

logiclee

Not EA no.

I have the car so am I best driving to another station? Preferably one with a decent car park.

Cheers

Staines is the other option

ah - the Hospital. Should have been obvious...

Go from Chertsey stn (in station rd) to either Weybridge and change to go to Waterloo or as above go to Staines and into Waterloo again.

Must be Toshiba then

Depends which bit of Chertsey - the M25 split it up badly. if you're going to Sungard, Compass or ADP, the station is quite handy, although it's quite a slow line to Waterloo. If you're over the other side of the M25 (hospital, EA, etc) you're a bit shafted and Weybridge is a much better option.

If you drive to Weybridge don't park in the carpark next to the station outside the pub (can't remember what it's called). I hear break ins are fairly common in there.

I'm inside the M25 on the banks of the river, not far from the staton.

What's the EA by the way?

Cheers

Thanks for the advice

Their European HQ is based in a Norman Foster designed building located by a lake in good ol' Chertsey.
