Thank you, and it really depends on where in London you need to go. Some places are much easier than others if you use a specific terminus. For King's Cross I'll generally use either, but I favour Waterloo over Victoria because the walking route at Victoria is now such a long way round whereas from Waterloo you can of course just do the cross platform at Oxford Circus. If I'm not in a hurry I'll take the slightly slower way via Thameslink, either via London Bridge or via Sutton - it takes about the same time either way. It's a lot easier, albeit 10 - 15 minutes longer.Some lovely pictures Peter, it looks like it was such a lovely day as well. Just a quick question about Epsom to London: If you are going to London (doesn't matter about where), is it more convenient to go via Waterloo or Victoria?
A good factor is the frequency; with SWR still only doing 30 minutes it's often faster to go the other way.
If I'm going to Paddington, the easiest way is Wimbledon and the Wimbleware service. Not much choice about that - but if SWR is up the creek, there's always via Victoria as a possibility that doesn't take much longer, although it's less easy.
Liverpool Street is obviously another via Thameslink routing, this time to Farringdon then the Circle.
I do also prefer riding on the 700s over the 455s and 377s...
