Hey guys. I'm currently planning a journey that takes me via London.
Basically I arrive in London Kings Cross, then ened to walk over to St
Pancreas to get a train to St. Albans. According to the Transport
Direct journey planner, this walk will take 31 minutes, but if I look
at any map, it looks like it shouldn't even take 5!

I've not been to the new St Pancreas, and I guess the entrance might
not be at the Kings Cross side, but is it really true that it would
take the average person 31 minutes to walk from Kings Cross station to
St. Pancreas?

Kind regards,

Matt

This is the reply I got on 27th November 2007. I guess they are still
working on it - you know about Network Rail overuns...

"Thank you for your eMail,

"I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please note that the Online
Journey Planner usually allocate a generic transfer period between two
London stations of about fifty minutes to sixty minutes. This is due
to the fact that National Rail Enquiries does not hold information for
specific tube times. Unfortunately St. Pancras International is a new,
recently opened station so it is still using the generic transfer
time.
