How to get home after the tube challenge So, you've raised your money and done the tube challenge and now it's 1:30am and Upminster isn't quite as nice as you expected. How are you going to get home?

Don't get a train/tube The first trains/tubes are not until around 5am and you will not be allowed to wait around on the platforms or waiting rooms. Finally, bear in mind that in order to make the last District Line train to Upminster you need to be at:
