....with my elderly mother who is afraid of being under ground on the
Underground, and who can't walk far.

Is the easiest option just the 205 bus to Mile End, then round the
corner to the 323 bus to Canning Town?

With my railhead on, I was going to do HS1 from St Pancras to Stratford,
but I believe there's quite a bit of walking at both Stratford stations
and platform 11 (where the buses to StfInt go from) at Stratford
Regional has no step-free access. Is that correct?


One other question: the discounted travelcards for people with National
Rail railcards [1]: are they available from TFL ticket machines, or only
at the windows?
