Buses: Night busses

    Getting TO/AROUND: I thought i was in trouble when i heard of the tube strike. I was to take the early morning flight out to Salzburg from Stanstead, and so had to get on a coach to the airport, no later than 5am. The problem was that the Stanstead coaches all departed from Victoria and i was staying in harrow.
    There was a choice between taking a cab, which would be a bit expensive, or not panicking at all, and showing up at the bus stop across the road at 2am, for a bus numbered N18 (night Buses can be recognised by the prefix ?N? in front of the route number), just as i would in the middle of the afternoon on any given day...
    As it turned out, i stepped out in the middle of the night, to a deserted bus stop, and voila- the N18 showed up not a minute too late. Quite wonderful, that you could trust the network enough even when theres an international flight to catch.

    Driving in London: `The worlds biggest carpark'
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Car/Motor Home
    Getting TO/AROUND: When a motorway gets a name like `the worlds biggest carpark', you know you ought to avoid it unless absolutely crucial.

    The 120 mile M25 orbital motorway , was meant to be the outermost of four `ring-roads' around London. The traffic jams on this route are notorious, and most users have many a gripe with it.

    There had been talk lately of introducing a toll to tackle the congestion on the route, and using the money to widen it. That idea too has met with much debate, the argument agsinst that being that it could lead to havoc on the other local roads, already filled with traffic...

    Getting TO/AROUND: The London tube-- by far and without doubt, the easiest and most convenient system of transport that i have ever used.

     It's been said that the man who tires of London tires of life. Your page supports that notion. Cheers
