Normally she could get Thameslink to SPILL and walk across to King's
Cross but not at that time of night. She can probably get to London
Bridge and then get a 35 or 47 bus to Liverpool Street (or even walk)
in plenty of time to get the 23:58 to Bishop's Stortford.

But will her through rail ticket be accepted on the bus if the tube
isn't running?

Erm, dunno, but the worst case scenario is a £2.20 bus fare....? (or
£1.30 with Oyster)

£2.30 cash or £1.35 PAYG now - fares up today.

Rail ticket acceptance would have to be pre-agreed and I'm not sure if
Thameslink closures give TfL bus acceptance between London Bridge and
Liverpool Street. I'm also not sure that a tube strike gives
automatic acceptance of NR tickets on buses.

I was told yesterday by the London Travel Information call centre that NR
tickets would be accepted in a strike to get across central London between
stations.

There's the 149 and 48 as bus options too.

And the 133 as well which runs into the Bus Station rather than
Bishopsgate.

Yes, London Travel Information told me there are lots of options, all
signposted at London Bridge and that staff would be present to assist.
