Journey Planner obscurities

Post by hwolge »

For a good geeky laugh:

Bring up the *new* Journey Planner advanced search:
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/user/X ... nsActive=1

Enter "Clapham South" and "Balham" as "From" and "Travelling to".

Select any mo-fr at 05:00.

Uncheck "Buses" as mode of transport further down.

Press "search"...

Strange one there! (train via Victoria).

Oh, I don't mind walking - press "edit search options" - go to the bottom and check " I'd rather walk if it makes my journey quicker" and press "search" again...

Now, that's a good one at the top...

Walk to Balham, go back by tube, and walk there again!

You probably don't want to know, but it had something to do with computers... :wink:

And, jonny, it still works, if you follow the instructions exactly...

As someone who spent most of last year getting between Balham and Clapham South on a regular basis, this is brilliant!

If it was really clever, however, it would tell you to walk Clapham South -> Balham but to get the tube the other way as it is up a steep hill!
