travel advice for tomorrow

[OliviaDee]

hallo all

i have to get to Liverpool Street Station via public transport for 9.30 am tomorrow morning. What do people think would be least disrupted - a 40 bus to Aldgate and walk over, or the train to L'Bridge and then tube? I'd really appreciate your advice! (travelling with kids - dreading it)

cheers

Depending where you live - East London line from Forest Hill to Shoreditch High street

Another option is train to London Bridge, then tube to Moorgate, then walk to Liverpool St.

You can also get a 35 from Camberwell Green straight to Liverpool Street.

But I don't know what the traffic might be like.

Or you can get the train to London Bridge (or a 40), then there are loads of buses which go from London Bridge to Liverpool Street. The bus stop is just at the beginning of the bridge, on the other side from the station, and is the same stop that the 40 stops at.

ETA: I wouldn't be too keen to take small children on the tube in the rush hour, albeit it maybe it wouldn't be too bad during the Summer with people on holiday. But then there's the olympics .....

Have you signed up to travel alerts from tfl? I just had a very comprehensive email from them regarding tomorrow's Olympic events and which transport links will be affected/busiest. They'll be sending them out each day throughout the Games. I can forward you the email if you PM me.

Train to London Bridge tube to Moorgate and walking to Liverpool St is the easiest. Avoid Jubilee line and Bus route in Central london.

The number 42 also goes to Liverpool Street from Camberwell from the same stop as the 35.

If you have small kids I would avoid London Bridge then tube as they are making you walk a long long way around temporary fencing to get from the trains to the tube. I work near Liverpool Street station and find the best way is Forest Hill to Shoreditch High Street then bus or walk, or train to London Bridge and BUS to Liverpool Street station - 149 or 48. Much better than the tube.

No 35 bus is always my preferred route as it drops directly outside liverpool street station. You just need to leave enough time.

If you live near Peckham Rye, then the no 78.
