Thameslink...
Friday 2nd of January - do they have engineering works or something as
services don't seem to be running (northbound) through to Kings Cross when I check the timetable online. How much extra time will I have to add on to my journey if I have to go to Victoria instead and take the tube? I know there are timetables online, but they don't hold the tube times and add on way to much time for the connection. Marcus |

Trains stop at Blackfriars AFAIUI running from the south. That conencts neatly with the underground.

The TfL Journey Planner at http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/index.htm includes all bus/tube/rail timetables, including many rail services from stations outside London. You may not be able to access the timetable as such, but the journeys it plans use the real timetables. Where are you travelling from? -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |

No, Thameslink are not running between London Bridge (from Brighton) or Blackfriars (from Sutton) and Kentish Town. However, actual travelling time East Croydon - Victoria - Kings Cross can be much the same as East Croydon to Kings Cross via Thameslink so you may need no extra allowance. Tube from London Bridge to Kings Cross is not recommended currently. -- Peter Lawrence |

Usually I take the Thameslink as it's more convenient, but I checked by ringing NRE who told me engineering works 'till Monday morning. Marcus |

Usually I take the Thameslink as it's more convenient, but I checked by ringing NRE who told me engineering works 'till Monday morning. According to the TfL Journey Planner, it's 47 minutes from Haywards Heath to Victoria, then about 25 minutes by tube to Kings Cross including all transfer and waiting times, assuming a brisk walking pace. That's 72 minutes overall, compared with 68 minutes via Thameslink when it's running. -- Richard J. (to e-mail me, swap uk and yon in address) |
