Just had a look at getting to Tonbridge on Saturday by train, (sorry if this is a bit old news).
If you can get to Orpington (number 51 bus from Welling), as this saves going up to Charing X or London Bridge (does it stop there?), there are x4 trains an hour, taking only around 19 mins max to Tonbridge.
Adult return fare is £7.10 & £3.55 for kids.
So hope this helps - me & Jake will be at Orpington around 10.30/11 - hope to see you there? If not see you in a cafe or a watering hole some where on route to the ground.
Have yet to look into the distance from station to the ground...
Cheers, Sean
Come on you WINGS!

Sean, looks like ground is around 30 minute walk from the station. Definitely going Saturday just not sure whether to follow you and have some beers or drive. Sean and me will see you all on Saturday
I believe the station is about two miles from the ground.
For those not fancying the walk, Arriva buses 218 and 219 go from Stop H at the station to The Pinnacles, Darenth Avenue/Shipbourne Road which is close to the ground and have a combined frequency of every ten minutes. Journey time is ten minutes.

Good practice for East Thurrock then. That looks like a two mile walk from Stanford-le-Hope station.
I believe there is a bus that does the trip in 17 minutes running every 15 minutes.
First Essex bus route 100 links Lakeside Bus Station, Grays Bus Station and Stanford-Le-Hope Rail Station (travelling northwards to the ground) and Basildon (travelling southwards to the ground) and stops in Corringham 100 yards or so from the ground entrance.
Buses run every 15 minutes before the match and every 30 minutes after.
