A few route queries around London

[miklcct]

I'd like to ask, without referencing any specific departures from a timetable, which of the following routes have the most likelihood for the minimum total journey time (including reasonable walking time and average waiting time for each of the legs)?


1. Sutton to Willesden Green, weekday evening after 20:30
Route A: Southern to Victoria (board the train with the earliest arrival time, no matter it is via Mitcham or via Norbury), Victoria to Green Park, Jubilee to Willesden Green
Route B: Thameslink to Cricklewood (board the train with the earliest arrival time, no matter it is via Wimbledon or via Mitcham), Bus 260 / 460 to Willesden Green
Route C: Thameslink to Wimbledon, District to West Brompton, Overground to Kensal Rise, Bus 52 / 302 to Willesden Green

2. Welwyn Garden City to Willesden Green, weekday evening after 20:00
Route A: Great Northern to Finsbury Park, Thameslink / Great Northern to Kings Cross / St Pancras, Metropolitan to Finchley Road, Jubilee to Willesden Green
Route B: Bus 301 / 302 / 601 to St Albans, Thameslink to Cricklewood, Bus 260 / 460 to Willesden Green

3. Hatton Garden to Epsom, afternoon peak
Route A: Thameslink to Sutton, Southern to Epsom
Route B: Go to a station below to take SWR to Epsom

Also which routes below are the fastest expected way from my work place (Hatton Garden) to pick up a train as below:
4. Pick up a SWR main line service at Waterloo or Clapham Junction
Route A: Bus 243 to Waterloo
Route B: Central to Tottenham Court Road, Northern to Waterloo
Route C: Thameslink to Blackfriars, walk to Waterloo
Route D: Central to Oxford Circus, Victoria to Victoria, Southern to Clapham Junction

5. Pick up a SWR suburban service which calls at Waterloo and Vauxhall
Routes A-D as above

Not wishing to be dismissive - but I would suggest you try them out and see. If the official time differences are so small that they’re not obvious, then other factors are likely to come into play, like shelter from the rain whilst waiting, whether you’d be happy hanging around after dark if something goes wrong etc. On my commute one of the biggest variables (other than train reliability ) is the length of time it takes to get off the platform….
