    Step free route from Kings Cross (p11) to LU sub-surface lines

    Thank you Nym. We took the 59 + 87. Very frightening but we got there. Boy! This place has changed since 1950. I think we shall stick to the 'sticks'. Maybe try Frinton on Sea next!!!

    Step free route from Kings Cross (p11) to LU sub-surface lines

    Thanks. Was going to pick up friend at Tower Hill then on to Westminster. We are now going to meet at Westminster so I guess I shall go Victoria/Jubilee. I suppose the mainline to tube will still hold the same problems.

    Step free route from Kings Cross (p11) to LU sub-surface lines

    Being not sound of wind nor limb I have to count every step and need advice on getting from (probably) platform 11 Kings Cross to the Circle Line tube in the lest of them. I have looked at maps and diagrams galore but cannot make head nor tail of them. I do not know what lift to take nor where...

    Kings Cross Departures

    Too much good advice to draw on individual quotes so thanks to all but in particular Red Dragon. Diolch yn fawr. Best of all I let off steam and feel much better for it.

    Kings Cross Departures

    No wonder the 'King's Cross' so and I :-x It is bad enough that it's such a long walk to the Victoria line from the main line when walking is difficult which is no one's fault but what a shambles they make of platform information. On Tuesday 29th at 18:10 no one knew what platform the 18:14 for...

    Cambridge to Kings Cross Off-Peak Travelcard return portion never valid?

    I shall be leaving Cambridge at about 10:00 exact time not vital. I then wish to return to Cambridge by 19:00 but cannot leave London till after 17:30. BTW I was about to buy my ticket from Virgin and was only looking at Trainline departures for the 'peak' information.

    Cambridge to Kings Cross Off-Peak Travelcard return portion never valid?

    I was about to purchase an Off Peak Day Travel Card from Cambridge to Kings Cross but upon checking if my required return time (about 18:00) was off peak or not I looked up Trainline departures. To my surprise every train is Peak from 00:05 till 23:44 Since this is going to be only my second...

    Advanced - Anytime confusion

    I am confused about buying a return Off Peak Day Travelcard. Do I have to travel out on a specific time as in Advanced? I did read Mojo's sticky but am no wiser. For instance if I book the out on line by selecting the 11:31 and get to the station before the 11:15 departs can I travel on it or...

    Go my own way

    I was right. I shouted help too soon. Since my first visit to this forum I have found so many other ticket sites, some bad but mostly good. As a demonstration of where I went wrong in the first place: The first site that I tried and that I assumed were all much of a muchness was VT (I’m learning...
