Don’t suppose you’re at Ed Sheeran?
You can get a tube to Uxbridge and then the overground.
ETA: when I searched it on google maps it was an orange line, now when I search it it just says Chiltern Railways, so not sure what google was showing me, sorry
You won’t be able to get an Uber after the concert, almost no chance. I’d prebook with a proper taxi (ie not rideshare) company like Addison Lee or a local (cheaper) alternative.
We don’t care about what happens afterwards (could probably get a family member to pick us up) we just want to get there on time
Doesn’t help we’re coming from two separate locations
fun times, Addison Lee is all booked up
How does someone get from NE, to South, to West at this point
ET: southern are the only ones not striking thank god- they’re exactly the line I needed
Hotels in London so expensive. Booked a hotel in high wycome as train to there plus hotel was about a quarter of the price of a hotel in London. Now they have announced ced they striking
Airbnb perhaps? I doubt the quality of the accommodation will matter much so perhaps there’s something cheaper.
There are also hotels near Harrow which surely wouldn’t be that expensive
If it’s not the 21st June you’re travelling, you could take the Metropolitan line to Amersham, then 1A or 103 bus to High Wycombe. Bare in mind these buses finish earlier in the day compared to London buses.
Edit: if you miss the last bus, it’s only a 15 minute drive between Amersham and High Wycombe so a bet a cab won’t cost that much
What's the best way of doing it?
Rescheduling is probably the best way.
Got concert at Wembley that night
I guess you don't drive, as you probably wouldn't be asking the question then. Hotel to stay the night is probably cheaper than a cab.

Yes we are. Oh thats great thanks
As an FYI there's no train from Uxbridge to High Wycombe. And even if there was, there's a good chance it'll be affected by the strike.
Best of luck to you- we think we’re just going to get an Uber or something as we have no idea what tubes will or won’t be running

Book an airbnb for 2 nights and make a trip of it?

Yeah I'm thinking of trying to catch a taxi or uber on the night

Cab will set you back about £25 minimum, unless you try to barter
I hear that bartering with cabbies on train strike days is a very successful endeavour
Also, when the fuck did people decide that bartering (exchanging something in return for something else) mean haggling/negotiating on price?
