Title: Tube in London
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 07 June 2008, 13:04:30

Tomorrow I'm visiting Albatross to replace cambelt kit and pop a new camcover gasket on... and I'm getting the train down there.

Question -

I arrive into London Paddington, and I have to get the tube across to London StPancras?

Anyone know which tube/direction, etc?
I hate the tube  >:(  ;D

Surely you need to be on the Victoria line for Vauxhall?   :D  

No seriously- theres another Omega & cambelt kit at West Finchley on the Northern line, not that I want to hassle or anything!  ;D  ;)

Unfortunately, tomorrow I'm going to be on the train for about 10 hours return, plus what we do on the car, so I'm pretty sure I won't have the capacity  :-[

We can still go with next weekend, though, if that's any good? ;)

You should have driven, and popped in for cuppa on way ;).  Then stripped Tunnie's engine for him ;D

check the trains are actually running.they often shut down at weekends to gaffer tape them back together ready for the next week. unexploded ww2 bombs can cause a bit of disruption as well from time to time. ;)
