When you get to Earl's Court (which will take about five minutes),
get off and take the next train to Edgware Road. It will probably be
across the platform, and you won't usually have to wait more than
five minutes (often, it's already waiting in the platform).


These trains are every 10 minutes, so you will have to wait more than
five minutes about half the time...


Ah, but they often stand in the platform for a couple of minutes or so,
so while they may only depart every ten minutes, you'll usually see one
in the platform more often than that...


You will need a zone 1-6 ticket, which will be cheaper if you buy
either an Oyster card or a Travelcard.


A Travelcard isn't cheaper than a Z1-6 single (£6.70 vs £4.00).


True, unless he intends to make more journeys that day (quite likely,
I'd have thought, given the arrival time).
