Stansted to Barking
"Alan \(in Brussels\)" wrote in
: "Jiminy" a écrit dans le message de ... Arriving at Stansted Airport, suppose I'll take the Stansted Express/Skytrain to Liverpool Street Station. To go to Barking, may I be dropped along the route or I must go first at Liverpool Str Station, then from there take the tube? For instance, dropping at Tottenham Hale allow me to reach Barking easily? Or exists a better alternative? Tnx for your feedback As nobody here has so far pointed out, there's an on-line journey planner which is smart enough to look at the various routes; the URL is: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/planmyjourney/ You don't say exactly when you want to travel, so I can't give you more specific advice, but just looking at the next few journeys indicates that changing at Tottenham Hale & Blackhorse Rd. is the fastest (1h 29 min), while walking from Liverpool St to Fenchurch St would give 1h 35min. It even considers changing at Hackney (Downs/Central) & W. Ham but that's even slower... Regards, - Alan (in Brussels - mind the spamtrap) Even better, try tfl's version (via www.tfl.gov.uk) which has intimate knowledge of the times of tube trains (national rail's version struggles with first and last trains). Lunchtime tomorrow came up with 1hr 17mins via Liverpool Street and Mile End or 1hr 15mins, 1hr 17 mins, 1 hr 19mins or 1hr 21mins direct from Liverpool Street to Barking on the H&C. H&C runs every 8 minutes at that time, journey planner knows and works to the exact schedule, though (except for first and last trains) this is being a bit precise for me! With luggage its an easy decision to go for the direct train. (Note: Journey Planner doesn't understand National Rail fares so the £3.00+ means £3.00 plus the £ 13.80 single from Stansted to London). Transport Direct (the new cross modal UK wide planner, see Rodger Ford's column in Modern Railways) at www.transportdirect.co.uk also came up with the route via Liverpool Street and Mile End but quoted 2hrs 17mins after allowing 68 minutes for the 8 minute walk from Liverpool Street (National Rail) to Liverpool Street (Underground)... |
