I cannot think of any other transaction where I'd spend =A331 (the price

Wow, 31 quid. A small fortune. I feel your pain.


IIRC Paddington to Victoria is just under GBP15.00. *However, Bakerloo
Line, change at Oxford Circus for the Victoria, is not realistic with
two suitcases and a carry-on.


I've done cross-London a few times with two suitcases and a carry-on
(some designs will clip onto one of the suitcases). But I wouldn't
recommend going via Victoria; you should choose the route with that kind
of thing in mind. If Victoria and luggage implies Gatwick, for example,
you can usually construct much more manageable journeys via Thameslink.

Arrival Heathrow, destination Bognor Regis. Did utilize the Circle
Line once. A cab is so much easier.
