My circular route from last year involved changing at Edgware Road anyway (to the Bakerloo), but in the end that corner was the last section so I simplified the route to end at Edgware Road.tubeguru wrote:OK, you have to change from H&C to Circle/Bakerloo at Paddington.
If you arrive at the Circle station first, from Bayswater, and run to H&C, you would naturally take a H&C train to at least as far as Baker Street. This MAY mean changing at Edgware Road.
Need I go on?

So there's a different way to along that long platform (12? 13?), then?tangy wrote:Of course it is better going from the H&C to the Bakerloo at Paddington (as that the running route is all down stairs/escalators, apart from the intitial stairs up from the H&C platforms)
EDIT: Sorry, I appear to have said this twice - confusion on my part - it said "NO EMAIL SENT" or something, and I thought....well, maybe I thought, when perhaps I should have left well alone

Here's a question, aimed at people with a bit of a clue, like Neil. Through Chris Presswell can answer this if he wants
Is taking a bus from Victoria to Hyde Park Corner a good idea? I'm thinking (lol - I just mistyped that as "I'm thinning", which I can assure you is not happening, neither in hair or in physique) in terms of having to come up from underground, leg it over to the bus station, etc etc.
Or is there a stop nearby Victoria station where one can hop on a bus, or is it easier at the bus station?
So? Good idea? Bad idea?

Well there are many bus routes from Victoria to Hyde Prak Corner, but in order to maximise your chances of getting virtaully the first bus that comes you have to go to the Grosvenor Gardens stop.
Out of bus station entrance (onto Buckingham Palace Road), turn right, at next traffic lights, turn left, bus stop Q. Don't get on a bus from the bus station as that only limits you to only the 38, 52 or 73!
At that bus stop Q you will be able to catch a 2, 8, 16, 36, 38, 52, 73, 436 get on any of these routes and alight before the junction itself (2 stops from the stop you board at Victoria IIRC), as the next stops after the roundabout are quite a way up Piccadilly or Park Lane!
However try and get a 52 if possible as this at Hyde Park Corner turns left onto the A4 towards Knightsbridge, hence stops nearest to the Tube entrance subway.
Journey time would be no more than 10 minutes.

This is a Central line train to "Woodford via Hainault"- sadly, not no more!
