Thanks for the heads-up. Well I guess it will be a cab or a walk back to the hotel once off the train in London.
Looks like trains go from Twickenham Station straight into Waterloo, and looks like they run from Twickenham until 12.40am on Sunday night (Mon am) and until 12.50am on Saturday night (Sun am). So should be ok and I think its fairly close to the venue, and no doubt a good chunk of the crowd coming out are going to be going in the same direction anyways.
The only ominous thing I see at the moment is this...
"Service status

will be affected by engineering work"
A status message on nationalrail.co.uk for journies from Twickenham into London on Sat / Sun night O.O

I'm dreading getting back, I'm near Tower Bridge. Went in 2005, and ended up walking back to my hotel in Ealing (closest hotel I could get back then, which was about an 8 mile walk or something - not fun after the hottest day of the year when you've been queuing since 6am lol - the things we do for U2).
As far as I understand its zone 2 on the tube, nearest station is about 1.5 miles away Hounslow East I think. I'll be getting there by tube and just walk from there, but getting back, I think its probably by rail from Twickenham Station which does go into central London. Tube is all night now on weekends I believe, so you should just be able to hop off anywhere in central London, and work your way back on the tube. That said, not sure if weekends includes sunday nights. Believe you can use your Oyster card (if you've got one) on the train there. Need to double check that though.

Yeah a quick look on here > National Rail Enquiries > http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/ (which is where I always go for rail travel) and it seems like it.
Bear in mind journies from Twickenham on Sat/Sun evening are coming up with this service status message at the moment...

Definitely something to keep an eye on - but more than likely will be ok.
