Thank you.

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. It's been a while since I've been to the UK and I know that things change. I think I'll go ahead and book a departure from KGX to Newcastle for around 12:30 or so. That should give us a bit of leeway. We can always use our time getting...

We will be on British Airways, so I'm pretty sure we'll be arriving at Terminal 5 (9 AM). We would be going standard class from Kings Cross to Newcastle. For the price I would think we would want a fixed time ticket. I didn't want to feel rushed to get to Kings Cross (we're a little older now...

On June 29th, my wife and I will be landing at Heathrow at 9 am. I want to take the new Elizabeth Line into London and wind up at Kings Cross and catch a train there to Newcastle. I've looked at the Elizabeth Line stations, but none of them seem to have direct access to Kings Cross. What are...

Thanks. I'll tell my friends. I didn't know you could use contactless/chip credit cards like that. That is quite a nice feature. It's been too long since I was in the UK. Will be heading there myself in late June. Really looking forward to it.

Wow, that sounds great. Thanks. Should they buy their tickets in advance (if that is possible from here in the US) or just get them when they arrive?

Greetings. I have two friends who will be visiting London in June. They will be flying into Gatwick and need to get to the Putney station. Is the easiest and cheapest way to take the train to Blackfriars station and then walk over to Waterloo? Are there other alternatives? Thanks in advance.

JonathanP & CMS, you have both been very helpful. I am truly grateful.

My brother-in-law and his wife are thinking of taking the Eurostar from Paris to London in a future trip to Europe and have asked me if Eurostar has a checked baggage option, or baggage handlers available. They are older and have some health issues that make it very difficult, if not...

Thanks. I've forwarded all of this information to my friend and I'll let him sort out what he thinks is best for him. He's a pretty experienced traveler, but I go to the UK fairly often so he sought my advice.

Thanks all. This place is the best.

Greetings. I am trying to advise a friend on the best way to get from Heathrow Airport to Gatwick Airport. He is flying to the UK on business, landing at Heathrow, and his wife is accompanying him, but flying a very inexpensive airline that will be arriving at Gatwick. (Two college age...

You are absolutely correct. I worked in Budget departments in US Federal Agencies for 34 years. The President's budget request is just that, a request. In the US Constitution the power of the "purse" belongs to the Congress. The Fiscal Year 2018 appropriations will be written and approved by...

First, thanks to everyone for your help and information. We wound up taking a train from London Bridge to Gatwick. The nice lady in the ticket office directed us to the 08:12 train to Brighton, which only made one stop at East Croydon. My mates think I'm a genius. We also took the train up...

Thanks. I'll give the London Bridge trains a closer look.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the response.

Greetings. A group of us will be staying in London for a few days. We will be staying on the south side of the Thames over near Tower Bridge Road. On a Saturday morning we will be going to Gatwick Airport. We can go from London Bridge station, and we may well still do that, but the trains...

Much thanks to all.

Actually, there might be a bit of a change. I'm looking now at the option of going to the Tower of London first, because I like to go there when it first opens at 9:00 AM so you don't have to stand in a long que to see the Crown Jewels, (the other three people in the group are ladies). After...

Greetings. In September there will be four of us visiting London from here in the US, and I will be leading the "tour". I want to take everyone out to see Windsor Castle one morning. We will be staying in Southwark, so it appears that the best way to get there would be to take a direct train...
