After a run of 2 weeks of Primavera - Glastonbury - BST - 2000Trees with gigs in-between, I'm well prepared for it, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo57 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just seen London Overground are now striking on the 19th along with the tubes. surely Gorillaz has to get cancelled now? With no tubes or overground trains serving the whole of London it will be ridiculous expecting c. 60k people to get buses out of the area after the show? I live in SW London, would be easier for me to sleep on a bench somewhere than go home and come back the next day for the field day date 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been okay if the overground was running but genuinely will be chaos now. I really wouldn’t be surprised if loads of people just didn’t turn up.

I’ll probably not go, there are usually SOME trains running with non union drivers on strike days but getting back would be ridiculous. If the strikes don’t get called off or the gig moved, I think I’ll be out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyDavid Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Didn't Coldplay get moved because the event couldn't be licensed on the original date due to the strikes?

jannybruck Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I can't see any realistic way of holding it when people just.. can't actually get to the park. The "catchment area" in East London for people that are both a) ticketholders and b) able to walk to it would be about a quarter of all attendees, at a guess based on usual make-up of these sorts of London festivals. If you live/are staying south of the river, or somewhere far west (likely given the hotel prices in central London), you're almost certainly not going to get there.

I personally think strikes need to change. They need to work the way the Japanese bus driver strikes went. Have the workers come in and still work, but don't charge anything. You then don't inconvenience the normal people, but you royally fuck the companies that are hoarding all of the money. Also, bagsy your mate's floor if you've claimed the sofa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 This is becoming a nightmare now. I wanted to see King Gizzard more than The National. The bus strikes happening on Gorillaz day affects North and East London depots which is a fucking pain since I live in North London and trying to get to East London. The 253 and the other buses going to Hackney is a big blow for me getting there without tube. The list of buses affected on the Gorillaz day is below. North London Edmonton Garage 158 Chingford Mount to Stratford 259 Edmonton Green to King’s Cross N279 Trafalgar Square to Waltham Cross Enfield Garage 121 Turnpike Lane to Enfield Island Village 279 Waltham Cross to Manor House 313 Potters Bar to Chingford Station 318 North Middlesex Hospital to Stamford Hill Garage 349 Ponders End to Stamford Hill Garage 377 Oakwood Station to Ponders End W6 Southgate Station to Edmonton Green Palmers Green Garage 102 Brent Cross to Edmonton Green 141 Palmers Green to London Bridge Station 329 Enfield Town to Turnpike Lane 340 Edgware Station to Harrow Bus Station 675 Walthamstow St James’s St to Woodbridge High School N102 Golders Green to Edmonton Green Tottenham Garage 19 Finsbury Park to Battersea 41 Tottenham Hale to Archway 123 Ilford to Wood Green 149 Edmonton Green to London Bridge 230 Wood Green to Upper Walthamstow 243 Wood Green to Waterloo 318 Stamford Hill to North Middlesex Hospital 341 Northumberland Park to Westminster (County Hall) N19 Finsbury Park to Clapham Junction N41 Tottenham Hale to Trafalgar Square Wood Green Garage 29 Wood Green to Trafalgar Square 144 Edmonton Green to Muswell Hill 221 Edgware Station to Turnpike Lane W3 Finsbury Park to Northumberland Park W4 Ferry Lane Estate to Oakthorpe Park N29 Trafalgar Square to Enfield Town East London Ash Grove Garage 78 Shoreditch to Nunhead 106 Finsbury Park to Whitechapel 254 Holloway to Aldgate Barking Garage 128 Claybury to Romford 150 Chigwell Row to Becontree Heath 175 Dagenham to North Romford 325 East Beckton to Prince Regent 368 Barking to Chadwell Heath Clapton Garage 38 Clapton Pond to Victoria 73 Stoke Newington to Oxford Circus 242 Homerton Hospital to Aldgate 253 Hackney Central to Euston N38 Victoria Station to Walthamstow Central N73 Walthamstow Central to Oxford Circus N242 Homerton Hospital to St Paul’s N253 Tottenham Court Road Station to Aldgate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
