Your comments and questions
Sara How far is the Olympic Stadium from Stratford station?
Staff Hi Sara. Not very far. From memory it's only about a 10-15 min walk
Giles Is the station manned on a Sunday? I need to buy a travel ticket and have questions
Staff Hi Giles. They've got a manned window upstairs because it's a national rail station (underground stations only have self-service machines)
Gav How far is this station from Travelodge Stratford walking please
Staff Hi Gav. Its just a five minute walk up Jupp Road
Pauline Can I get a lift from Stratford overground to the hammersmith underground line
Staff Hi Pauline. Not sure what you mean because the Hammersmith & City line doesnt go to Stratford, and none of the other lines go to Hammersmith.
Laura I am scared of lifts and escolaters is there stairs too i can use?! Coming from southend vic to stratford then over to westfield
Staff Hi Laura, they do have stairs that you can use instead of the lifts and escalators. It’s all described in the ‘Platform stairs, lifts and escalators’ section above
Sue How do I get to platform 6 Central line east when I get off the Greater Anglia train from Ipswich
Staff Platform 6 is on the upper level, where all the national rail platforms are, so you'll just have to use some stairs (or a lift) to walk across to it from whichever platform you arrive at
Francesca Coming from London City Airport and having to take the Central Line, are there lifts or escalators? Is it very far? I have two big suitcases
Staff Hi Francesca, Its not too far… it should be platform 4a or b to platform 3 or 6 depending on which way you're going. you can get a lift between them
Stephen Will there be a normal service in opposition on Wed 15th dec?
Staff Hi Stephen. Thats not a strike date, but they’re warning of some knock-on disruption from the previous day’s strike on the Elizabeth line, London Overground and National Rail.
Nda We have friends arriving into Stratford late on Friday evening. Until what time is there a manned ticket office, as they will need to buy Oyster cards? Thank you.
Staff Hi Nda, Monday-Friday is 06:15 - 21:30. if they have UK bank cards then they could always use them instead. Its the same price as oyster, but without the deposit on top
Richard Is there a lift connecting the Elizabeth line to the Central line?
Jean I am able to access the Jubilee line by leaving my overland train crossing the platform straight onto the Jubilee line, how do I pay for this journey
Staff Hi Jean. Assuming the overland train is within the London zones then it’s all counted as part of the same journey. It won’t come to an end until you exit through a ticket barrier. But if you have an overland train ticket that ends at Stratford, and you want to continue travelling on, then you'll have to make sure you buy another ticket in advance, or exit through a ticket barrier and then use your contactless card or oyster card to pay for the next bit
Geoffrey How to get to platform 3 from platform 9
Staff Hi Geoffrey. You have to use the stairs or lift on platform 3 to get down to the subway, and then you just walk across to platform 9. Here's a map - images.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/39vHBksgkh5fOjT4VAxTCS/810e82b97f5c945f56ea9239e90ad830/Stratford__London__station_map.JPG
Guest Coming from Norwich, how do I get from the railway platform to the Jubilee line platform that goes to Canary Wharf? Add, what are thise platform numbers?
Staff Hello. here’s a station map. You”ll likely be coming in on platforms 9-12, and you’ll have to go to a jubilee westbound platform, which is 13-15 - images.nationalrail.co.uk/e8xgegruud3g/39vHBksgkh5fOjT4VAxTCS/810e82b97f5c945f56ea9239e90ad830/Stratford__London__station_map.JPG
Robin How easy is it to get from Harlow train line at Stratford to the Elizabeth line to Heathrow
AT If coming from Heathrow airport to The Gantry by Hilton, can I use contactless credit card upon touchdown? Am I able to proceed till Stratford International station and exit there (without going out if use Elizabeth line)?
Staff Hi AT. You can use contactless, but you won't pay a contactless fare. The Elizabeth line has its own fares from Heathrow which are much more expensive - heathrow.com/transport-and-directions/by-rail-or-train/elizabeth-line - You'd only pay a contactless fare if you used the Piccadilly line from Heathrow
