Hmmm...the bus comment above has scared the pants off me so we may just pass on that option. And there will be college tuition to pay for the kids in a year or two, so we are going to also avoid time spent on taxis by pushing as far toward Chushunt as we can go until the trains shut down, and...

The more I look at these options and play with the Underground's Journey Planner on the web, it seems like our goal should be to get to Tottenham Hale, and then catch a train to Cheshunt. Seems easy enough, but I think it's more likely we'll not leave Heathrow before 11:30 considering the need...

Well I'm certainly glad I asked because there is no way I would have been able to figure all that out by staring at the maps on the internet. I'm truly grateful for the advice. I may have some more questions in a bit, but for now I think it may take a while for me to digest the options offered...

So would the idea here (from bb21) be to buy a fare from Cheshunt just to get to a stop within zone 6, get off the train, and then use the travel card to get back on the train? That might work because we are planning to buy the 7 day travel card and want to rely on it as much as possible, but I...

Hi all, I will be traveling to the UK from Maryland next week with my family and staying in Cheshunt. Our plan (hope) is to travel into London daily, but I've just not been able to decipher the information available for the rail, tube, and buses, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. If...
