Great tip for anyone going to ExCel Lympics

Went yesterday, travelling from Downham.

Get a mate. Bring him along in the car.

Go M11, A406 (N Circular) and A1020 to Gallion's Reach. Get dropped off by pal and give him your rail fare (say, ?40-50) and he goes for a nice meal. Picks you up about 4 hrs later, same place.

5 stops on a very quiet DLR, and you are there. Time taken, 2 hrs 20 mins, both ways. Cost, ?50 + petrol. Lack of hassle, and missing a dreadful packed trip into and out of central London - priceless...
