So Philomenas is the rallying point for Ulster fans in central London before heading out to deepest, darkest Barnet?

I've never been out there before so is it Northern line to Mill Hill East then get the shuttle bus from there?

Believe so yes

Shuttle buses also go from edgware. More trains go to edgware

Reckon I'll be there with crew around 11am for a feed and some pints. Maybe a sing song

Can anyone bring spare flegs?

OK, seems to be train every 5 mins to Edgware but about every 15 mins to Mill Hill East so get first train to either.

There are shuttle buses from Mill Hill Broadway and trains to there from St Pancras but only 2 trains an hour on Saturdays.

Seems easiest to hop on the Pic at Holborn and head up to St Pan and then hop on the Northern to edgware

Could be a good SUFTUMing opportunity on the tube

Its only about 10 mins walk from Philomenas to Leicester Square or Tottenham Court Rd and you can get the Northern line from there. It is probably quicker than walking to Holborn getting the Piccadilly and changing lines.

True but you're on the wrong northern line for edgware (but the correct for MHE) so would need to change at Camden

Not used to the weirdness of the Northern line... however there is still a service every 5 mins on the Leicester Square/Tottenham Court Rd branch and changing Northern line platforms at Camden is quicker than changing from Piccadilly to Northern at Kings Cross from what I remember.

Feck it is any wonder Sarries fans have trouble travelling to away matches, that would do anyone's head in, sounds like it's easier to get from Plumbridge to Ravenhill using Translink

It's basically having all your fans and the team in Cork and playing in Limerick
