We usually stay close to the Ace Cafe (good grub there) so that's what
we intend to do from now on. Piccadilly to Acton Town, District to
Ealing Broadway, then the 112 bus round to Wembley instead of going
right into Zone 1.


As a regular visitor, you just ruled yourself out of HEx's target market.

Will you be using Crossrail, rather than the tube, in future?


That depends if Crossrail opens any time soon, the underground may well
remain the best option for us to use.


That bit of Crossrail is already open, albeit with a lower frequency than
planned for the future.
