Another Tube strike announced
In message , at
20:48:47 on Thu, 28 May 2009, Richard J. remarked: Generally some sort of service, with a published timetable, operates from Gare du Nord to CDG airport so as not to make life too difficult for the tourists. SNCF even have a dedicated interactive website for such occasions, www.abcdtrain.com, where you can find out the temporary timetable for any journey in Ile de France ("Greater Paris"). Somehow I don't see our strikes becoming that tourist-friendly. But you don't *need* the Underground to get from London's airports[1] to the centre. If all else fails there is Heathrow Connect, and buses to several railheads. A recent survey claimed that only 18%(?) of passengers use rail (from airports) anyway [I've temporarily mislaid the link] although this may be higher for Heathrow. [1] Except perhaps City, if the DLR is also on strike. But there are buses there too, I'm sure. -- Roland Perry |
