Hi all, I wonder if you can help? Firstly I have tried using the National Rail website but also Southeastern's website but cannot get a clear answer.
I plan to travel from St Albans to Woolwich Arsenal DLR (but via Stratford International). My planned route would be St Albans to St Pancras, St Pancras to Stratford International (on the HS1), and then walk to the DLR station from Stratford International and then down to woolwich Arsenal DLR.
I also have a network rail card and the planned date of travel woudl be Saturday morning at the beginning of July.
Although I appreciate this is not the most direct (I can go from St Albans to London Bridge and then London Bridge to Woolwich Arsenal). The reason I want to go via Stratford International and DLR route is because I am volunteering at the Olympics and have my 'venue training' at the beginning of July. When I do volunteer going via Stratford International will be the route I am taking so therefore want to do a "trial run" when I have 'venue training' (I'm advised trains from Stratford International DLR to Woolwich Aresenal DLR will be direct train and will not have to change at Canning Town during the olympics).
When I put St Albans to Woolwich Arsenal (no option of putting DLR) it does come up with a one day travel card for £7.90 (I do put Via Stratford International) but it is not clear if this ticket is valid on the HS1.
When I do the same on Southeastern Website (again using via Stratford International) it comes up with no ticket found (or something similar).
Hope all the above makes sense - I just want to know how much it will cost me to get from St Albans to Woolwich Arsenal (using DLR) but also using the HS1. Will I have to get a travelcard into London and then pay separate for the 6min journey from St Pancras to Stratford International? I would have thought I could add it to the travelcard when purchasing it from St Albans.
Many thanks in advance for your advice.
