Two and a half hours on the M25 from Guildford today ! Turned up 5 mins into the 2nd half  to witness a totally shambolic and tactically naive 2nd half display by Quins and Nil points. Had better days

Either a 1 to 1.5 hour drive via M25 from Surrey for me, or a couple of trains, in to Clapham Junction and out to Twickers, which takes about 1 - 1.25 hours dependant if they actually run!!

Yesterday was train, so was properly drenched getting there, but seat is right at the back of stand so dry, but was a very miserable day given the result, capped off by seeing Joe Marchant in a surgical boot and crutches, and reading his news this morning!! 😫

I thought the boy and me were the only ones coming over from Essex but I saw a Quins fan still on the train when we got off at Chadwell Heath.
Chadwell Heath > Stratford > Waterloo > Twickenham
Can be 1.5-2hrs. Felt like 6 hrs yesterday soaking wet! ;D

Between 40 minutes and 2 hours. M40, M25, M3, A316 although sometimes the TomTom brings me in via Heathrow or Greenford

Kew to Richmond to Twickenham via different combinations of bus, train and walking depending on weather and mood

Train from Royston to Finsbury Park, Park to Vaxhall Via Tube, Vaxhall to Twickingham, Walk to Stoop.

Probably 2.5 Hours will walking and waiting on platforms added in, makes for a good trip down with a few beers but a horrible trip back if we get pumped.

Welling to Waterloo East, 5 min walk to Waterloo platform, train to Twickenham.

If all trains running on time (big ask for Southeastern trains to Waterloo East) then 1.5 hours from house to pub.

Walk to York Station = 15 mins
York to London Kings X = 2 Hours
Kings Cross to Twickenham = 1 Hours
walk to Ground = 15mins

Apart from last weekend due to train engineering work I drove 4.5 Hours there and due to the rain 5.5 hours back all to watch the poor performance.

Have been doing this for the last six years since moving back to Yorkshire.....All for the love of Quins :D

Trains from Croydon. Overall about 20-25 mins on the train but have to change twice so takes best part of an hour.

My longest journey to the Stoop started in Houston - Heathrow T5 (8 ½ hours) and then taxi to the East Stand Reception (45 minutes, where they let me store my bag until after the game).

Only 9h15m, Bolly? Paah! That's nowt! My longest trip to the Stoop was in April 2015 and went as follows:

Taipei to Hong Kong Airport (3hrs +40mins transfer)
Hong Kong to Heathrow (14 hrs)
Taxi to Wantage to drop off the bags (1hr) (Work only allowed taxis to be booked between airports, offices & home locations)
Straight back out for the Usual 2h15 mins *back* by train to Twickenham for the game.

Not something I care to do again, though!
