... and Southern are NOT accepting FCC tickets.

There is not only a dispute withy drivers on the FCC Bedford -
Brighton route. There is also a dispute between Southern and FCC
about accepting FCC tickets on Southern services.

Today I was at Gatwick having travelled down from Paddington via
Farringdon.

That seems like a bit of a sacrifice - it's far quicker to
travel via Victoria using the Bakerloo/Victoria lines.


Interesting point. *And yet travel isn't only about speed. *There's
also comfort and convenience to consider.

If you're coming from an airport, you've probably got heavy luggage to
carry, so it's often better to take the route with the fewest changes
rather than the quicker one.


Actually, now I think about it ... Considering what most of the
posters in this group are like, it's possible he just wanted to go
through Blackfriars and see if he could see anything of the building
work there.
