I'm booked in for the evening session at brands tomorrow, but have an exhibition to attend at the excel in London.

I'm thinking of dropping the car off at a station near brands and going in on the train, but have no idea which is the best station for this. Any suggestions?

Chela field will probably be quite good, parking in the streets around and sub an hour to London.

You can get to Brands in 20 minutes from there.

Excel is a pain needing a few changes from anywhere SE.

If work are paying, park at North Greenwich and get the cable car over. Else for train, anything that can get you to Lewisham then on to the DLR.

If you're early (and will be leaving early for the trackday) I'd be inclined to just drive there and back.

Sorry if this is too late.

Nearest stations are Swanley or Farringham road.

If you are at Excel, park at Ebbsfleet.

Excel to Canning Town; then jub. line to Stratford International, then to Ebbsfleet.

From there its a 15 mins drive; just watch the traffic on the M25. If it is a lot, use you google maps and go via Longfield.

Good luck - I may pop along to say hello tonight!
