quickest journey to Kings Cross

[Elphinstone's Army]

hello, I have a train to catch from KX at 9.30 on Friday : can anyone please suggest the quickest route, from CPR,

I need time to collect my tickets from the machine and sustenance from Pret, so don't want to cut it fine.

Thank you

I'm near CPR too. When I need to get to Kings X (I've worked in Milton Keynes so used the link to get to Euston) I go from DH train stn.

Obviously you'd need to look at the latest dispute/strike/overtime ban to try and avoid delays.

You'll get timetable from NatRalEnquiries.

Which end of CPR? If it is the part nearer to Goose Green, I would walk to PR station and get the train to St Pancras, which goes every half hour, I think. If nearer the library or mid LL, a bus to DH station and then Victoria line - though it can be very congested so perhaps the 185 to Vauxhall and get on there? I would allow at least an hour to get there at that time, so leaving at 8 would be better, especially if you do the latter.

PR to St Pancras .And allow LOTS of time to walk what feels like half a mile to actually board the train .

I always go DH/PR to St Pancras.

Bus to DH then train to St. P

"I would walk to PR station and get the train to St Pancras"

Oh yeah, that's the train I meant !

If all else fails the 63 bus (top of the Rye) takes you all the way there, no changing and stops next to the station. I'd leave at 7am to miss the rush hours.

No idea but the traffic is quite light at that time if that helps.

How was the journey?

[Elphinstone's Army]

hello KK, was fine thanks, left the house at 8, bus to DH, packed train, tickets at machine, Pret for breakfast, and on my train. Painless.

I had it in mind that I would have to change at Blackfriars and relieved that this was not necessary.
