To all bands, and people interested in using Bally Studios

You may have heard that  the Victoria Line will be closing at 10pm on Monday - Thursday.  For any bands that are looking to book a session on any of these days that will end past 10pm, please note that there is a replacement bus service that is being provided by London Underground that runs to the following tube stations

Walthamstow Central --- Blackhorse Road --- Tottenham Hale --- Seven Sisters --- Manor House --- Finsbury Park

in both directions.  This means that any bands can catch a bus from Tottenham Hale station, based 5 mins from Bally Studios, and then get the replacement bus service to Manor House, which is only about 7-10 mins on the replacement bus service, and then from there get off and get the Piccadilly Line, on which services are running as normal.  This will not add that much to your journey, maybe about 10-15 mins, as the replacement bus services seems to be very regular, and as they only stop at these stops and not at normal bus stops, as well as the roads being considerably less busy than usual due to the it being past 10pm.

Many bands do not realise that the replacement bus service is in use due to Transport  For London not advertising it much, but we can re-assure you there are replacement bus services.  And, hand on heart, we can honestly say that the bands that we have spoke to about the bus service have reassured us that is has had lass of an impact on their journey than they thought it would.

Also, the National Express Train services remain unaffected by the Victoria line works.    Train times are as follows

Trains to Liverpool Street: (from 20:00): 20:04, 20:16, 20:20, 20:29, 20:32, 20:44, 20:48, 20:59, 21:03, 21:12, 21:16, 21:27, 21:30, 21:42, 21:46, 21:59, 22:02, 22:12, 22:16, 22:27, 22:30, 22:42, 22:46, 22:59, 23:02, 23:13, 23:17, 23:27, 23:30, 23:42, 23:46

Trains to Hackney Downs: 20:16, 20:44, 21:12, 21:42, 21:53, 21:12, 22:42, 23:13, 2342

Trains to Stratford: 20:53, 22:07

So if you live in Central, South or West London, the National Express trains are regular enough that you can catch them into Liverpool Street and then continue your journey from there.

Cheers
