For Southend United supporters travelling to Wealdstone. The ground. The journey. A little more than ninety minutes.

01 / THE MATCHDAY FILE

Know before you go.

Use the segregated area and entrance on your ticket; arrangements can change for larger followings.

Your match ticket and the latest fixture announcement take priority over a general guide. Kick-off times, allocations and entry arrangements can change.

02 / THERE AND BACK

Find your train.

Ruislip Tube station is around 500 metres away; Ruislip Manor is also close. West Ruislip is the National Rail option, but Chiltern services can be infrequent.

This opens Trainline for live times, fares and booking. Add children or Railcards and check the complete return journey there. No fare or train service is guaranteed by this guide.

Travelling with a Railcard?

Check eligibility and restrictions before buying. Discounts depend on the card, ticket and travel time.

03 / ARRIVING BY ROAD

Park with a plan.

Grass parking at The Vale is weather-dependent and limited. Some fixtures require prebooking; check the specific TicketCo parking listing.

04 / BEFORE THE TURNSTILES

Pubs, food & a pre-match drink.

The Vale Social Club welcomes home and away supporters in recent visiting-club guidance. Check the fixture for any exception. Ruislip and Ruislip Manor have further food options.

A pub being nearby or trading today does not confirm away-fan admission. Check colours, children and matchday restrictions with the venue; do not rely on an old forum recommendation.
