Well first choice is trek from St Pancras to Victoria line at Kings X, tube to Green Park or Victoria and walk 10-15 mins or change at Victoria to circle, 1 stop and walk 3 mins. Thinking whether 3 mins more on train to Farringdon, very easy change to circle then x mins on circle might be quicker/easier?
Of course when Blackfriars interchange finally reopens there is another option. And if it were summer i could stroll along the river bank to Temple playing guess the NDB but somehow it isn't very attractive at this time of year...I think....0 -
I don't know michaels. It's not a journey I'd do by choice. I hate looking up and seeing
1) Aldgate East 1 minute
2) Barking 3 minutes
3) Barking 6 minutes
And thinking '!!!!!! is that bloomin' Circle Line train?'
I'm not mad keen on the other way either. I have however gone to Aldgate East and switched there to a District Line train. That's a fair compromise. I don't like the deep tube trains either. Whichever you do its not quick.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Depends on how fast you walk? Personally, I would get off at Kings X and get off at Green Park and walk from there. Victoria Line is worse than cattle train, you are absolutely rammed from Kings X to Victoria but at least the line runs and it's fast.0 -

It's posts like this that make me realise a lot of you southern NP may as well live on another planet.
I get hacked off if it takes me more than 20 mins to cross Aberdeen in rush hour by car.
And in an hour I'd fully expect to be 70 miles away, and be there a good 15-20 mins quicker (and at half the cost) than if I'd taken the train.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

You'd struggle, NDB is at the new place tomorrow all day.
It would have been lovely today - bit windy, and cold, but sunny and sharp....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

and the air quality down there is horrific. not that any of the tube lines are nice, but the victoria line and central line are like sucking on a bus exhaust.0 -
Final random thought, does anyone know how long it takes on the circle line from Farringdon to St James Park?
Use a Boris bike?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
has anyone actually been on a boris bike?
how, if at all, did you manage to restore your street cred afterwards?0 -
younare much too organised if you are moving tomorrow and have time to paste on here this evening.
I think DD1 and I now have 'the cold' that DD2 and DS had last week. DW has been complainging of a sore throat for a while but seems OK so far. No doubt I will be allowed to sort out whoever can't sleep properly tonight.neverdespairgirl wrote: »You'd struggle, NDB is at the new place tomorrow all day.

I did give in and get a £5 value kettle from Argos.....not quite user friendly for arthritic hands but a hell of a lot easier than putting a saucepan on the stove top!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.0
