The Overground carriage
Bruce K.

Clean and since it IS the Overground, sunny. Better than the tube. It sort of overlays the Tube, but it doesnt match up to it well with only a handful of stations that are also Underground. The trains I rode were clean and efficient. I've been on the Paris RER and the Munich S-Bahn and some of the Swiss intra-city lines, this felt exactly like that. But without the efficiency and timeliness of the other lines. I've been in the London area for a year and a half. I've only had the occasion to take the Overground once. It just doesn't go where I need it to go.

Like most Londoners I get up in the morning and head off to work and complain about the cramped tubes and slow buses. On the way home in rush hour I complain about the very same things. Living in Kentish Town, North West London I assumed tubes and buses were the easiest way to get from A to B. It came as a pleasant surprise when wandering down Camden Road, something in my inquisitive mind propelled me into Camden Road over ground station. I already knew there was an over ground station in Kentish Town not two minutes away from my home, but I never thought to look where the line went. To my joyous surprise, the line can get me to university and work within fifteen minutes. It in fact services SW, NW and NE London pretty well. I got on at Camden Road Friday evening at 5.30pm and although busy, I didn't have my nose squashed into someone's armpit. Ah the joys of being inquisitive. Check out the over ground it may save you time and your nerves.

You don't know when it will be cancelled, so you can not plan your journey.

April 27th 2025. During our first trip to London we took…read moreUber from Heathrow airport to our hotel at Hilton West end. Trip cost about the equivalent of $75. Second trip to London we took the London underground from Heathrow to Holborn all along the Piccadilly line without transferring. 23 stops along the line but we we were seated the entire time carrying day packs and one carry-on luggage each.. The cost was the equivalent of $7 per person. If you are coming from Heathrow airport during rush hour you can take the Heathrow Express directly from the airport too Paddington station. For two people this would be about the same Fare as Uber. And you would still have to get from Paddington station to your central London hotel. In our case we could have taken the Elizabeth Express from Heathrow airport to Tottenham Court road station and walked the mile to our hotel near Holborn underground station. The fair would have been about double that of the London underground. Both of the Heathrow Express and Elizabeth line are more luggage friendly. Compared to the London underground. The London underground has contactless payment. You simply scan your credit card on entry and scan the same credit card on exit. Seats seats are cloth with armrest. People with oversized luggage can put your luggage near the doors in special areas. is not advised during peak hours was standing room only. Unlike New York City most London stations have working escalators making it possible, but not easy, to carry luggage on the trains. Make sure you put your luggage on its side. One person put his luggage on his wheels in the luggage area but the luggage rolled out the entrance on its own at the next stop.

London Underground is an excellent model of public transportation. We used it to get to and from…read morethe airport from Paddington Station, which was near our hotel. London Underground is certainly cheaper than a taxi or uber, and we had no problems finding room on the trains with our luggage (two people, each with a carry on). Announcements remind you to "mind the gap", and the stations we visited were staffed and welcoming. One even had an inspirational quote up. As expected, some stations are more modern than others since they are utilized more. I loved that I could tap my credit card to get through the gates onto the train, rather than buying a physical card or downloading an app. I wish the DC Metro used this system.

This post is about the HE in general…read more One of the reasons I like lhr is this Heathrow Express, a direct light rail that takes all but 15 minutes to Paddington Station in the city. I purchased tickets in advance, £10 one way (£25 on the spot). They're on time. The interior is clean. The seats are comfortable, although a little old, with charging ports.

Five stars for the convenience, three stars because of the price -- averaged together, that makes a…read moresolid four stars for the Heathrow Express train! This is by far the most convenient option from London proper to Heathrow Airport, but you'll pay for that convenience. Where you could reach the airport via a local train for much less, shell out the 20 - 25 pounds per person and you can ride on a direct train with zero stops. The train runs nonstop from Paddington Station, which is easily accessible by Tube. It leaves roughly every 15 to 30 minutes, but there are frequently closures and delays so make sure you allow plenty of time for your journey. In the 4 times I've used this service, twice it's been cancelled and I had to take the regular local train, so be aware. The train stops at Heathrow but the walk from the station to the terminal is quite far (allow at least 20 minutes, and even longer if you are slow or have a ton of bags). Also make SURE that you keep your ticket out because you have to scan in AND out once you reach LHR station. The train itself is nothing fancy, but they have free wi-fi and luggage racks for the short journey. The seats are comfy enough. They often run specials, so make sure you check our their website. Sometimes there are deals if you buy group tickets and it's cheaper if you purchase your tickets far in advance. This is the easiest option to get from the city to LHR by a mile.

Don't get confused: Victoria train station and coach station are a few hundred yards apart along Buckingham Palace Road, a level walk that'll take about 3 or 4 minutes. Victoria Coach Station is the largest coach station in London, located in the central district of Victoria in the City of Westminster. It serves as a terminus for many medium- and long-distance coach services in the United Kingdom and is also the departure point for many countryside coach tours originating from London. It is operated by Victoria Coach Station Limited, a subsidiary of Transport for London (TfL). It should not be confused with the nearby Green Line Coach Station for Green Line Coaches, or with Victoria bus station which serves London Buses operated by TfL Victoria Coach Station itself is monopolized by National Express and Megabus services. National Express are the largest operator with a network reaching just about every town and city in England. The departures terminal closes at 01:00 and opens at 05:00. If you are travelling on an overnight service, please arrive 20 minutes before your coach is scheduled to depart The left luggage facility is open daily between 07:00-22:45.

The number 11 bus route is one of the best in London for sightseeing, if you don't want to fork out…read morefor the more expensive tour buses (and endure their running commentaries), and generally operates at a much greater frequency. Running from Fulham Broadway to Liverpool Street station, the route takes in a whole load of classic sights, as well as useful transport hubs such as Victoria coach and train stations, and Sloane Square, Charing Cross, Mansion House and Bank railway/tube stations. It was even better when they used the old Routemasters, but you still get a great view from the front of the top deck. If you go straight through, the off-peak journey time is around an hour end to end, although most people are likely to travel between Victoria and St Paul's. The route starts in Fulham Broadway, and then travels the length of the King's Road in Chelsea as far as Sloane Square, when the sights begin to really start: the Chelsea Hospital, Westminster Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Parliament Square and the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall (passing Downing Street and Horseguards Parade), Trafalgar Square, the Strand, the Aldwych (with all its churches), the Royal Courts of Justice, St Paul's Cathedral and the Bank of England. Not bad for a single fare of £1. At various times I've used this to travel to and from work when I worked in Whitehall. The frequency in my experience tends towards the lower end (ie every 10 minutes) although it has improved in recent years. Still, it's a great way to see lots of sights for very little cash, and if you have an Oyster card or travelcard, you can use it as a hop-on, hop-off service.

With new trains, the Victoria Line is probably one of the better lines on the London Underground…read morealongside the Jubilee Line and Metropolitan Line and perhaps could edge it to be the best line on the network - despite having just 16 stations it still has great access around the city and is a line popular on a Tottenham Hotspur matchday as it provides access to Tottenham Hale and Seven Sisters for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (still a good walk however and horrific on a matchday). It is the light blue line on the tube map and quite new compared to the other lines on the Underground, as it opened in 1968 and spans 13 miles. Interestingly, the Victoria Line took a further few months to expand to London Victoria. It was then opened by Queen Elizabeth II who rode from Green Park to Victoria. Many stations do have step-free access and are quite modern some step-free stations include: Tottenham Hale, King's Cross St. Pancras, Green Park, Victoria, Vauxhall and Brixton - this means you can hop off a train at Euston Road (head to Kings Cross St Pancras for step-free or Euston) and then go onto Green Park, where you can then get the Jubilee line to continue your journey throughout central London, the same being said for Victoria which is close to Westminster and serves the train station of the same name. Most Victoria Line stations do serve others meaning it is pretty easy to hop on and off another tube depending on the construction of the station - I personally found Green Park to be much longer to get in-between two lines just to name one. The most intensively used line on the Underground also means trains are pretty frequent and modern which is a bonus - odds are if you're using the Underground you will be using this line as part of your journey across London, and for the connections across other lines being much better than any other line combined - I feel this has the edge to warrant my highest rating for any London Underground network of four-stars.

The Victoria line is a deep-level London Underground route running from the south (Zone 2) to the…read morenorth-east (Zone 3) of London. It is coloured light blue on the Tube map. Unlike most other lines on the Underground, it runs entirely below ground. Constructed in the 1960s, it was the first entirely new tube line in London for fifty years, and was designed to relieve congestion on other lines, in particular the Piccadilly line and the West End branch of the Northern line. The line has always been operated using automatic train operation, but all trains carry drivers. The Victoria line is used by 200 million passengers each year, making it the sixth most heavily used line on the network in absolute figures, but in terms of the average number of journeys per mile it is by far the most intensively used line. My local station is on this line
