passing bus). The journey on the 344 from Vauxhall will take less
than 15 minutes off-peak, and the service runs frequently.

Battersea really isn't that hard to get to!

It's the haven of the cheap office crowd. Courier companies and
Telesales, and all because it's transport blighted. Put a decent tube
link in and the area would blossom. In the ends it took me 2 hours to
get from Palmers Green to Battersea Bridge.

The TfL Journey Planner shows journeys of 67 - 72 minutes at 20-minute
intervals via FCC to Finsbury Park, Piccadily Line to South Kensington, and
the 49 bus from there. What took you so long?

Real life as opposed to the journey planner :-) Funny enough the time
for the Victoria Line to go from Highbury to Vauxhall is always quoted
as 15 minutes. In 9 months of using the line every day my average time
was around 25 minutes. I think the guy who did the times in Autoroute
used the same Ferrari burning nitro model for TFL :-)

And just don't get me onto the number of times every week that my train
from Highbury to Palmers Green simply stops dead at Finsbury Park, gets
diverted to Kings Cross in the morning, grinds to a halt completely, or
any one of another dozen reasons to make me get home late.

Arrrghhhh !!
