Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
threadeds website, and here's my blog. -
Originally posted by d000hg View PostI don't know London well enough to tell how easy/long such a trip might take. The only thing I know is the direct express train is 3hr from Durham to King's Cross, from there I'm lost. Small-town mentality says "oh just hop across on the tube", but I recall you can easily spend 1hr+ on the tube...
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk reckons 25min from Kings Cross, though it has about 5 choices for Kings cross, not sure they are the same...
You can also do northern line to London Bridge and then jubilee to Canary Wharf...there's not much in it as far as journey time, but the exit from the platform at London Bridge is staired not an escalator and I'm lazy!
You want to book your train journeys well (at least a month) in advance and check the website regularly. A standard open return purchased at the station on the day of travel for me is £138. Purchased in advance on the web I can get this down to about £60!Comment
