Thank you. There will be 4 of us, and we're all north of 60, some at quite high latitudes. I just like to be prepared so that I don't cause too much unnecessary walking.
Greetings. Next week I will be taking either the District or Circle Line to Monument Station and I want to use the exit from the station closest to the Walkie Talkie Building. What exit signs should I be looking for? Thank you.
I just purchased tickets. Leaving Liverpool at 9:24 on TPE and changing at York to LNER. Will have a 50 minute change at York, a little long, but it will afford the ladies a leisurely visit to the loo without rushing. Arrives at Edinburgh Waverly at 14:28. Total cost was 165 GBP. A real...
Thanks for the great information. We will be traveling from Liverpool to Edinburgh on the 15th of April. I'll look at the routes via York. The LNER route north of York is pretty nice.

Cheers!!! And thanks to everyone who has helped me plan trips to the UK (and other European countries) over the years. When it comes to trains, this forum has some of the most knowledgeable (and nice) people that you can find.
Around 1 PM tomorrow I will be traveling on the Piccadilly Line from Piccadilly Circus to Heathrow Terminal 5 and need to know the fare. Have 12 Pound 80 left on my Oyster Card.
