Question for those of you who live in London

Hello, I need to take the train from Luton to Reading tomorrow. Usually the quickest route would include taking the circle or H&C line from King's Cross St Pancras to Paddington which is included in the ticket however the circle and H&C lines are shut for engineering works. Would I be allowed to take the bus for that route on my ticket?

 

Not sure, but the 205 bus is direct and costs about £2, so if they make you pay it's not the end of the world.

 

The Victoria Line down to Oxford Circus and the Bakerloo Line up to Paddington is a decent option too.

 

One question though, how do you avoid that long corridor to the Victoria Line?

 

Well you could travel one stop further to Green Park, then take a northbound train to Oxford Circus and you just need to walk across to the Bakerloo Line

 

Oh sorry, I meant the one at King's Cross. (I didn't realise there was one at Oxford Circus)

 

1 in 20 with Covid seems to be the estimate now, do you have to go via public transport / at all?!

 

If you want to know, we have to deliver a TV to Reading Salvation Army homeless centre and we currently don't have a driver.

 

Very charitable but unlikely to be considered an essential journey within the spirt of the lockdown.

 

Definetly not an essential item so not going to be an essential journey

 

Be on the back of a northbound train.
