Farrindgon is one stop from KX. By the time you've taken crossrail from
Heathrow, changed at Farringdon and arrive at KX the alternate piccadilly
line train might just have made it to Hammersmith. But more likely will be
stuck at Acton Town with a signal failure.

Heathrow Central to Kings Cross is 55 mins on the Tube, with no changes and
12 tph. Allow 2 mins waiting time, so 57 mins overall.

On Crossrail, it will be 31 mins to Farringdon, 6tph. Allowing 5 mins
waiting time, that's 36 mins. Then allow 10 mins to change to Thameslink,
and say 3 mins journey time to Kings Cross, so it's about 49 mins total. Is
it worth the hassle of changing trains with luggage, and up to triple the
fare, to save just eight minutes?

Why on earth would you get thameslink to KX? Get the H&S/Circle line, there's

a train every 2 or 3 minutes.



The change at Farringdon is likely to be much easier to Thameslink. Using

You'll be able to share the passageway diagrams you've obviously getting
this from then won't you.

You appear not to have actually seen Farringdon station. But that doesn't
stop you sounding off ignorantly, as usual.


LU will make the change longer, and the trains are hardly more frequent
than TL is planned to be before Crossrail is running from Heathrow to
Farringdon.

I work near blackfriars and can see the lines into the station. I can assure
you the tube is more frequent than thameslink whatever the timetable may say.

And is the 2020 timetable projected through your window?

Not so long ago, you flatly refused to believe that the track you're
looking at was the Thameslink msin line. Now you claim to know the future
timetable. Ignorance, piled upon ignorance.


So, under your suggestion, make that 51 minutes via Crossrail: a saving of
just 6 minutes, for triple the fare, much more walking, and an unnecessary
change of train. That's about as good as most of your suggestions.

Unlike you I wouldn't take 10 minutes to walk from one platform to another.
Perhaps upgrade your walking stick.

As you know nothing about the station layout, or timetable, we can put the
usual zero credence on your claim.

So you've had exclusive access to the crossrail works have you? If not then
you're just talking out of your backside. As usual.

Oh, so you know the 2020 timetable as well do you? You really are a grand
seer! Please oh great one, do share your knowledge with us mortals!

You're the one that gave times based on some timetable you know nothing
about, I'm simply reporting the service as it is today Billy.

Neither do you you sad old *******, but it wouldn't take me 10 mins to walk
from the tube at KX to St P thameslink so I very much doubt it'll take more
time to go from xrail to the tube at farringdon. 10 mins is a half mile walk
for a healthy man, though obviously that rules you out.
