Thats what annoyed us all the most. Our train actually stopped at Lewisham but didnt open the doors. Up until then we still had no idea what was happening so were given no choice at all. It was after Blackheath before a muffled message said we were being diverted to Cannon St! Bing, not long to wait until Hubby retires & we can travel the world & decide where to settle. I certainly wont be commuting then!
See that the first £1,000 train ticket has arrived? Devon to the Kyle of Lochalsh, first class return, with the last bit (Inverness to Kyle) on a boneshaker with no first class. Another £100 if you want a sleeper!
So how much is a monthly ticket on the Javelin? I'd still have to get the Fasttrack to the blooming thing so the journey time wouldnt be much better. Plus i dont work anywhere near St Pancras. Talking myself out of it already :-(
It is only worth it if you work in the Kings Cross/St.Pancras area really otherwise it's a real fight at Kings Cross for the underground each morning.
I dont get it often, which is why it works for me... just an extra £3.20 (if I remember rightly) per single journey. Finishing work at 4 and getting this, driving from Ebbsfleet, means I'm in the front door at 5.15. Getting the train from Cannon St, sees me home just after 6...
Yes I could moan about the cost but no one's forcing me to use it.
Oh and FoD, I dont work in Cannon St either... and I'd imagine that 99% of the users of that station also dont...
anyone know the status of the new overground line from new cross?
Will it stop at and anyone got any idea how long it takes to go from new cross to camden road? I've had a look on tfl but doesnt seem to give much info

Right you're struggling here, Kings Cross is the name of surround area of the station, the area surrounding Cannon Street Station is called the city, and I would have a guess that most people who use Cannon Street would work in the city.

Our train yesterday was diverted to victoria instead of charing cross, was only about 10 minutes late, but then meant a brisk walk to tottenham court road, which is not as easy as it used to be due to the huge amount of roads being dug up in london at the moment.

Shame you was going to Streatham really then................

You can get an around the world plane ticket for less than a £1,000. What a piss take.
surely you could complain about the cost?
From Ebbsfleet -
Season - £3,292.00
Travelcard - £3,812.00
