I could ride it for a weekend but I couldn’t live on it.
How much is a pint on it? Can you pay cash?

Travelling around London has certainly improved over the years, don't know about levelling up, but still seems to be plenty of building work going on down there, you would think they would stop, and move all the cranes, tunnellers and cement mixers up to the North wouldn't you? nah ! me neither, levelling up is a load of Tory bollocks.
Anyway back on topic, got train from St Pancras to Maze Hill ( for Greenwich) last weekend, piece of piss, 28 minutes, would've took an hour+ back in the day on the tube. Same with Brighton, straight through from St Pancras, back in the day had to travel across London to Victoria. The young uns don't know how lucky they've got it today when down in London

The First Class Section has a Cereal Cafe.Greggs will be opening a branch in the restaurant car of each train.
I'm looking forward to seeing if
coast > NCL airport > LHR airport > Elizabethan line to Liverpool St
Is any quicker than
coast > NCL mainline > KGX > The City (4.5 hours door to door)
Just paid £129 for NCL to KGX a week on Monday, the flight down would have 'only' been a tenner more and obviously much shorter, but it's currently a chew on to get across from Heathrow.
Thank you, hadn't realised it had all been published. £12.70 for the EL portion really isn't bad is it? Just need to figure out how to get to NCL airport for 6 in the morning without paying £30 for parking for the day or the equivalent in a taxi.Heathrow in 28 mins: Price of Crossrail airport premium revealed
Lays out the pros and cons pretty well. hope it helps.
The railway tavern has always done a roaring trade.. wouldn't mind it's shit the Nicholson's pub across the road is much betterAll joking aside, I went on it twice yesterday and it was top tbf. Easily navigated stations, wide platforms, air con carriages you can walk all the way through. 5 mins from Liverpool st to Tottenham court rd. It’ll be a revelation when it runs from Essex to reading right through the centre of town. The area around the entrance at Liverpool St is showing loads more signs of life, that pub on the pedestrianised square has never been busier.

Couldn’t agree more, billions of pounds to cut a few minutes. BTW you still have to change trains/tubes for some of the journeys. It’s nothing compared to HS2 like. I used to think the Millennium Dome was a waste of money.I know it was posted in jest, but it beggars belief spending all that money so Londoners can save seven minutes, while up here GoNorthEast are planning on cutting loads of services.
They want to cut the 28 which is a direct link to Gateshead/Newcastle and are going to reduce the frequency of the 34. It's going to make it harder for people going to work and school, and there will be no direct bus to GP surgeries in Birtley or Pelton Fell or the QE hospital. It will impact my daughter who uses the bus to go to and from school.
Wasn't just about a few minutes though is it..it's also about adding capacity.. anyone who used to commute pre covid could tell you the sardine conditions..Couldn’t agree more, billions of pounds to cut a few minutes.

Lot of money for extra capacity..Wasn't just about a few minutes though is it..it's also about adding capacity.. anyone who used to commute pre covid could tell you the sardine conditions..
I travel the central line now twice a week and it's still rammed at times albeit less so thab before .
Well over budget ...Lot of money for extra capacity..
The changing trains bit is temporary till the autumn. Changing trains is a case of hopping off one train, nip across the platform and hop on the next train. It happens across the tube network and is minimal fuss.Couldn’t agree more, billions of pounds to cut a few minutes. BTW you still have to change trains/tubes for some of the journeys.

Green Park is doing my head in at the minute. Transferring to the Jubilee Line takes forever. They’ve got a diversion in place and I swear you have to walk for a mile to change lines.The changing trains bit is temporary till the autumn.

If it had been done cheaper then people would be complaining that it was built too small and would need more money spent in a few years to expand it.Lot of money for extra capacity..
Always interesting being in any of the pubs around Liverpool St on a morning. The number of city workers who'd pop in for a quick double was eye-opening.The railway tavern has always done a roaring trade.. wouldn't mind it's shit the Nicholson's pub across the road is much better
Heaven forfend that anything in The Capitol should be done cheaply.If it had been done cheaper then people would be complaining that it was built too small and would need more money spent in a few years to expand it.
This is a resource which will be used for the next 100 years. You don't get much infrastructure
