Travel Days, Uncategorized 2 Minutes

Only over 1 week late….

Oh, what a day! I had a long list of stations to visit and a good plan to change here, there and everywhere. Out of Euston on the Overground, Hendon to Mitcham on ThamesLink and Zone 1 on the Underground.

Like all good plans, it failed….badly. I didn’t check the train line status or planned engineering works, rooking mistake. 

ThamesLink between Luton and St Pancras ‘broke’, which meant most services were cancelled or delayed, and the Overground between Euston and Kilburn High Road was planned engineering works. Another ThamesLink attempt failed!

So as I boarded my Northern line train, the plan was reworked:

Northern line – change at Moorgate for Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines – Aldgate East

Aldgate East – For Aldgate 5154 – District and Hammersmith & City lines

District line – Victoria

Victoria – For Port Victoria 5573 – Circle, District and Victoria lines (and National Rail – only visited the tube stop today)

Victoria line – Green Park

Green Park – For Green Fields 5107, Green Hills Range 5153 and Green Patch 5607 – Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines

Jubilee line – change at Bond St – Central line – Marble Arch

Marble Arch – Marble Hill 5137 – Central and Jubilee lines

Central line – White City

White City – White Sands 5253 – Central line

Central line back – Notting Hill Gate – change for District line – High Street Kensington 

High Street Kensington – Kensington, Kensington Gardens and Kensington Park 5068 – Circle and District lines

District line – Kensington Olympia – Yes, I have already been here, but on an Overground train, not a Tube train – They were no red Underground roundels, so here is the orange Overground roundel

Kensington (Olympia) – Kensington, Kensington Gardens and Kensington Park 5068 – District line (limited service) (and London Overground and National Rail)

Back on District line – Earl’s Court – change for – West Kensington 

West Kensington – Kensington, Kensington Gardens and Kensington Park 5068 – District line

Walk to West Brompton – Again, I have been here before on both an Underground and Overground train, but forgot to take photo of the Overground  roundel.

West Brompton – Brompton 5007 – London Overground and Southern (and London Underground – District line)

Overground – Clapham Junction – South Western Railway – Queenstown Road

Queenstown Road (Battersea) – Queenstown 5014 – South Western Railway

South Western Railway – London Waterloo

London Waterloo – Waterloo 5413 and Waterloo Corner 5110 – South Western Railway Mainline Terminus (and London Underground – Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern and Waterloo & City lines)

And that’s when I thought I was done for the day. As I was sitting in Pret A Manger, watching the departure boards, I noticed a Twickenham service calling at Kingston leaving in 5 minutes. I quickly packed up, grabbed my tea and headed for platform 2.

South Western Railway – Kingston 

Kingston – Kingston On Murray 5331, Kingston Park 5049, Kingston SE 5275 – South Western Railway

Now my day was really over, home time!

Here is the vlog – Oh well, new plan!

I am sorry this is so late, I hope to get them out quicker than this in future! I have another day of travel planned on Friday, so stay tuned for that!
