I tried a trip on the program from Waterloo to Shoreditch and it
gave a route beautifully. It shows you'll have to keep up the
editing too! I'm glad I finally visited Shoreditch on the day it
closed - what an atmospheric place.


I was able to call in at the end of a busy day, too. (I'd only ever
used the station once before.)

There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere there, with photographers
good-humouredly exchanging words with staff and a slight party
atmosphere. It was like some of the nicer aspects of the
Routemaster farewell days without the slightly frenetic feeling that
went with some of them!


What time were you there? As you can see from a picture on my web site,
I was there around 17:45.

On the OP's site, the problem I had (for an journey from East Putney to
Moorgate) was that Circle line details were white on yellow and
therefore barely legible. It also missed what the TfL Journey Planner
claims is the fastest route, via Monument and Bank.
