It's a hard one to write about being from London; you only ever see it from a work point of view and in rush hour normally. However about 2 weeks ago , me and my girlfriend decided to take a week off work and go sightseeing in London , we stayed in a hotel in just outside covert garden and brought a week's travel card each for zones 1 to 6 ( that was expensive , felt like a rip off in fact ) The transport itself can be mad, it really is just stupid at rush hour, although for the millions of people using it daily, it's doing quite well to be honest, tube trains all over London are very regular and seem to be packed all the time but there is the odd train that ...  Read the complete review

Transport in London gets a bit of a bad name for itself sometimes, mainly when the tube system has problems and people generally like to have a good moan but I actually think the transport network in London is brilliant, vast & diverse. You have buses, overground trains, underground trains (the tube), cycles, light rail, trams and boats all overseen by Transport for London (TFL). TFL are there to overlook the running of all of these, by issuing service licences & setting tickets & fares. TFL contract out all the operations to the operators like Arriva & First. I thinkthat with TFL overseeing everything it mean's that no operator is different ...  Read the complete review

I feel compelled to write a review on London Underground after finally winning a crown. I have been meaning to write a review on this topic for a while now, as I have a lot to say, so bear with me and I hope you enjoy reading. If you are looking to travel into London regularly, through work of social reasons, then I am sure you will understand that pretty much the only way to go in is through the use of the tube. For those of you who are not familiar with the system there is basically a wide number of different trains that link together at certain stations, which means it is possible to get from one part of London to another without any walking, just ...  Read the complete review

I do not live in London but i am fairly regular visitor to the capital to visit family and therefore need to use the public transport as driving is a complete nightmare. My auntie used to live in Camden, north London, and getting around from there was very easy due to the tube being on the northern line and from my experience a decent bus service, sorry couldn't tell you exactly which service. Now living in Lee the train runs about every 15 minutes which is pretty impressive i feel and from her house to Leicester Square say is only about a 15 minute journey. I understand there are occasionally problems with line closures and so on but this comes with the territory of a ..  Read the complete review

Tube strikes are something that are often threatened and rarely fulfilled but during the last academic year Londoners have been unfortunate enough to have to suffer two of them. The first of these was horrendous - as I'm sure was the intention. There was complete chaos as men and women who have spent every day of their working life in the City suddenly realised that they would have to dust off their A-Z and don trainers in order to make it into work on time. Those who did not were left cramming the pavement, in crowds five people deep, in an attempt to catch a bus and then cursing at the bus conductors who were really not paid to deal with crowd control. ...  Read the complete review
