Tottenham Hotspur Match Day Plans
Hi everyone! I’m heading to London to catch a Tottenham match, but I’ve just found out the game is now scheduled for Sunday at 2:00 PM. I’m worried I might not have enough time to reach my gate at Stansted for an 6:40 PM flight. We’re traveling light without any luggage.
Here’s my current plan:
- 16:52 – 17:25: Take the Stansted Express from Tottenham Hale
- Passport Control: Estimated 10 minutes
- Security Check: Estimated 10 minutes
- Walking to Gate: Estimated 15 minutes
- Gate Closes: 18:10
My main concern is making it to the Stansted Express on time after the match. I’ve seen that it takes about 30 minutes to walk from the stadium to the station.
If we manage to catch the train, I’m also unsure if we’ll have enough time to get through the airport security and passport checks.
The timing feels tight. Do you think it’s feasible? Any advice would be appreciated!
It sounds like you’re in a bit of a tight situation! Let’s break it down:
Train Schedule: You’re planning to catch the Stansted Express at 16:52, which gives you only 22 minutes to walk to Tottenham Hale and catch the train. Given that matches can have significant crowds, you might be cutting it too close.
Airport Procedures: Your estimated times for passport control (10 min), security (10 min), and walking to the gate (15 min) add up to 35 minutes. With the gate closing at 18:10 and your train arriving at 17:25, you don’t have much wiggle room.
Recommendations:
In summary, it’s going to be very tight, and factors like match delays or pedestrian congestion can impact your timing significantly. It might be worth considering the risk and either adjusting your plans or arranging for later travel from Stansted. Enjoy the match!
