    1) North Greenwich on the Jubilee Line.

    2) Where do they live? This is important. If you're after main line, You can go from Cannon Street, Liverpool Street, Waterloo East, Waterloo, London Bridge or Victora, but they all serve different places directly. If they're on the underground, let me know, I'll tell you the quickest route. Or you could try tfl.gov.uk but they often send you around the houses.

    They live right down South. Any further and they get wet.

    Where???? It's like talking to my (ex)wife! Specifics, man!
    There are a lot of terminii out of the south of London that go to different places. Brighton? Southampton? Exeter? :)
    You have one more chance or figure it out for yourself ;)

    It doesn't, as it's diagramatic and not topoligical. If I knew where the people lived I could help him, but he doesn't seem that bothered if they get home or not. The selfish bastard :D

    Bognor Regis. Where me lives as well. Just didn't want to mention the wretched place again :)

    OK, the last train there from London is from Clapham Junction at 22:38 on a Saturday. Takes 1 1/2 hours to get to Barnham, where they say you should change for Bognor, but presumably you can get picked up as Barnham's not far. There's one direct to Bognor at 22:32.
    From the O2, get the Jubilee Line to Waterloo and get just about any overground train to Clapham Junction, but try to get one with a low platform number as they skip an intermediate station. Shift to platform 13 at Clapham for a train to Bogroll Regis. Miss the 22:38 and you're staying until morning :)
    Last train on weekdays is 22:38
    Last train on Sundays is 22:10

    Obviously always use www.thetrainline.com to plan train journeys and i'm sure a quick surf of the net for the o2 stadium will show the nearest tube station.

    Graz will be asking where to get roms next ;)

    Clue ;)
    And I usually use the National Rail site for overground, as it gives you more information like intermediate stations too, so you might realise you can change at a different place and make your route quicker. Sadly TFL often sends you around the houses for travel around London.
    So many options :D

    Hehe. Okay mister cheeky. Not seen that site before, and it still wouldn't help me as I have no idea of what stations even exist, so I didn't know how to look for 'em. Did a search of my own with Vertigo's initial information and got a few different results that didn't quite make sense. It's all clearer now, so I'm glad I asked.

    Roms? Hmm, I fink I've got everything I need fanks... Obviously you know exactly where to find all the dodgy ones. I'm telling the Darling Brothers of you! :)

    I was only messing hence the ;) !

    Hope they manage to get back quickly.

    I was in London yesterday, GOD i so dont miss those trips ! For a year i had to commute into London there and back everyday and it was a nightmare, specially the summer. So depressing !

    Yesterday paid for a 40 quid ticket and didnt get a seat on the way there or back, totally cramped, hot, horrible ! Tube was slightly better but the main train even though it was quick going into London was horrible.

    My 'Hehe' indicates I understand your smiley and interpreted in good hoomer.
    Careful now though, cuz if Znorky thinks there's any contention or discord in the ranks, they'll be lots o man-hugging before we know it... Serious faces now folks! :)

    Yes, Ticket prices are horrendous, especially if ya buy 'em from a machine. The geeza behind the desk seems to do 'em cheeper. Why the hell is that?!
