It seems to think about 1:13, although that's probably an optimistic
time and if you don't set it to "least interchange", it'll send you
round to Paddington and put you on the Heathrow Express instead of just
getting on the Piccadilly line all the way.

It may be quicker, but who fancies all the messing about changing
trains.

Thanks, I'll give it 1.5 hours to be safe.

A good rule of thumb on the underground is to allow 2 minutes per station
stop.

About three weeks to allow for cancellations, failed trains and ****poor
management. Take some sandwiches and a thermos of soup with you.

I would allow a little more than that, like 2½ mins. 2 stops per 5 mins
is easy eough to calculate.

Whilst better to allow more than less the 2 minutes is based on many years
experience.

I suppose it depends on which parts of which lines you frequent. I live
on the outer fringes of the Northern Line, where 2½ mins is the correct
allowance. My other regular journey is Preston Road to Uxbridge on the
Met (10 stops) for which the 'average' journey time is given as 26 min.

Inner London stations are far closer so need less time.

It does seem typically British to run a service to the airport, but have
no real provision for luggage space.

Mind you I promise not to have all my belongings in a back pack !

Forget Pedo's and terrorists it's the back packers we should really be
going after :-)
