How do you get TfL journey planner to work for cycles
Daughter wanted to get to Marylebone from South London with cycle and
heavy rucksack,so riding whole way not really an option. Couldn't get the options on journey planner to show us what alternatives there were for public transport which would allow a cycle on, not peak hours. It kept coming up with cycle whole way. Can someone offer any useful suggestions? Thanks, Martin J |

Can someone offer any useful suggestions? Not sure I can help with the journey planner per se but you haven't really specified where in South London you're referring to. If she can get to a London Terminal station by train then she should head for the nearest sub surface tube service and catch the Circle Line. Also, if she can get to Wimbledon or Richmond she can take the District line from there to, say, Edgware Road (off-peak only, see link below for details). Monument for London Bridge. Embankment for Charing Cross / Waterloo (she'd need to cycle across from W'loo) Victoria for Victoria! Edgware Road and Baker Street are the closest sub surface stations to Marylebone and are a short distance away. For Edgware Road there is the option of a direct train from *West Brompton, getting off trains from Clapham Junction (Overground / Southern) or beyond (Southern only), or Wimbledon (for SWT services). Another option to consider is catching Thameslink from South London to Farringdon and then changing to a Met / Circle or H&C from there to Baker St (all lines) or Edgware Rd (not Met trains to there!). I think LU still charge child fare for the carriage of cycles but it's worth checking. It's many years since I did that! It's free.
