Would you be able to cycle all the way to or from Farringdon? It takes around 40 to 50 minutes from Cricklewood to Farringdon.

According to the Megabus website, these tickets are still available on East Midlands Railway route. I understand that these tickets are usually limited and searching on the website all the options between London and various destinations along the route are coaches. Has anyone recently been...

Will there be more Shenfield service running beyond Paddington in the future? As 2 tph seems a low number compared to trains to/from Abbey Wood.
