    when booking trains with travelling through london tubes included you are given a longer journey time , ie, 1 hr between tube stations, e.g, london bridge to euston. they know full well its a 20min journey but they give u the time as an indication so u arent rushing and arent late and incase there are delays and u need to switch lines to get there!

    u reach in at euston 30 mins before your outward train, allowing you time to pick up tickets, buy food n mags and wait for your train to be called...

    they give you an hour when checking train times for a reason.

    you never gave yourself enough time so u lost out. southern dont owe you a penny.

    i realise this now, TFL told me train would be quickest i shouldve just stuck with the tube and the bus forget taking trains, they don't come often and are often late
  • Freddie is off to Wembley on 30th March. Now Wembley is a 'Public Transport Destination'. Only problem is that I looked into catching the train from Stonehouse to London, to be there before 12:30. Guess what, the train cannot guarantee to get me there! So it is car to Hillingdon!
