  • London train station question

    I've got to get from Kings Cross to London Bridge station a week on Friday. How far is it and what's the best way of making the journey?

    Tube. Northern line, about 15 minutes.

          Get out at Mornington Crescent
          Within weeks they'll be re-opening the shipyards
          And notifying the next of kin
          Once again...

            What time of day are you travelling?

            Peak hours are between 17:30 to about 19:30, but it won't be as bad on a Friday as more people stay out drinking to spread the travel times.

            Should be plenty of room when you get on. It will get quite packed by Old Street/Moorgate. A bunch of people will change at Bank to get on the Central Line, and a lot of people will get off at London Bridge, follow the flow.

            They are redoing some of the escalators at London Bridge, so it may be a bit of a bottleneck getting out.

              Unfortunately he is on the wrong branch. Mornington Crescent is on the Charing Cross branch, not the Bank branch.

              You miss a turn for such a rookie mistake.

                  Ah good stuff, cheers

                  i was thinking of going to a pub for a while as I expected the rush hour to be just when I landed.

                  What's a good night south of London around Reigate/Redgill area?

                      walk, it wont take more than an hour or so, or get the bus for a pound most of the way.

                            Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                              I do that from Farringdon sometimes, but the wait for a Brighton train can be considerably longer than the wait for a northern line train.
