I am very familiar with this transfer as I do it everytime I take a Chiltern from Marylebone. I simply take the Circle line to Baker Street then walk the rest, so I know this way very well.

We all agreed that we didn't know which would be faster, so we spilt up. I waited in the concourse of Marylebone - I didn't think you'd arrived yet!

My sources tell me the train we are timetabled to get will depart MYB platform 1 and don't forget 1147 is the public time, it arrives slightly earlier on the actual WTT.

Correct Tangy and IF by some miracle we are still on schedule we will have 12mins for the run from Baker...

Just to update looks like we are the "Great Eight" tomorrow as Batman and Robin are joining us and we should have some support for most of the morning :D
