Euston - Mornington Crescent : £2.00


Heh. Has anyone ever actually made this journey?

BTN


I used to all the time when I lived at Mornington Crescent, after getting
off a train at err... Euston.

Silly me!



Quite.

I'd also be interested in hearing about your tube journeys to work when
you lived in Covent Garden and worked in Leicester Square.


Yes, yes. But it doesn't take much imagination to work out that Euston (main
line station.....get the hint??) - Mornington Crescent is often a
reasonable choice. I knew that the net saving in terms of walking distance
was probably only around 500 metres (and the full distance is quite a
schlepp - have you walked it?), but the reduced effort when carrying luggage
was very attractive, believe me! I even suspect that the tube might have
been quicker than walking sometimes, although that was not a concern for me.

Taxi, bus and walking have their various drawbacks too - people just weigh
the pros and cons differently, depending on the situation and what their
preferences are.
