Boring Tube Question

Post by Senji »

Can anyone improve on "change at Tottenham Court Road" for a route from Finchley Central to South Ruislip?

(not about Tube Challenges, but a Tube Question nevertheless)

Define "improvement".

More interesting, more convoluted, less tedious?

How about FC to Euston, walk to Euston Square, Met to Ickenham, walk to West Ruislip and go south 2 stops?

Or, if you don't like Euston, get off at Warren Street and walk to GPS.

Northern Line to South Wimbledon. Get out and watch the mighty AFC Wimbledon. Get back on Tube at Wimbledon, District to Notting Hill Gate. Central to West Ruislip. Thats an improvement and a half!!

Improvement? Faster, of course!

dep. Finchley Park 16.50 arr. Euston 17.09
dep. Euston Square 17.13 arr. Baker Street 17.19
dep. Marylebone 17.24 arr. South Ruislip 17.39

= 49 minutes... :!:

Could probably be done in 43-45 minutes with running and a bit of luck...

Good enough?

Cool, that's just the sort of thing I was looking for.
