Was looking on TfL Journey Planner to see the feasability of joining you at the start and then leaving you at the Daggers so that I can head off to MK, searched for Dagenham East to High Barnet arriving on Saturday morning at 0645, and have come across a rather mad route involving a few buses, try it to see what I mean!

wow.... 1 tube & 7 buses what a journey! If you wait until 05:27 the journey looks a bit easier and you still get to Barnet on time.

The Journey Planner seems to get very confused with night buses.

You can get the N15 from Romford to Trafalgar Square and the N20 from Trafalgar Square all the way to High Barnet. A lot simpler!

Even if you just ask for a journey Trafalgar Square - High Barnet it still ignores the direct bus and gives various complicated combinations instead.

Be good if you can join us for the first few clubs Steve, you might even be able to set foot on the hallowed daggers turf
