I was going to look into my journey choices but that seems perfect (20 mins!!) Thanks very much for that
No probs - it's great that bit of railway, and rarely that busy if you get it at the right time. Since I moved nearer streatham hill I usually get it from Streatham Hill to Cricklewood. They call it the people's free railway

Ah yes, I know what you mean
First Capital Connect trains are ALWAYS delayed though, even if it's only 2 minutes. Ah well, it's still the best journey so far.

I've given up saying that - it's not gonna happen, just like me riding around exercising is not gonna happen.
My Tube journey into work is almost invariably smooth and free from delays and overcrowding - but that's because I work night shifts, if I had to travel into central London daily I'd have gotten a bike or a scooter by now.
I've been in Toronto most of the last week and the transport here's reminded me that I've never been to a city with an underground rail system worse than London's - I reckon it's time to leave the Tube to the rats and build a new one.

Have you tried Lausanne's?
That is really archaic but it does at least run on time!
"Worst ever"
Errrm, I think there have been a few worse. My wife on 7/7 - or indeed BKs on that day.

Not for me.. the 8:15 almost always leaves Tulse Hill at 8:15.. the 8:23 almost always leaves at 8:23. The 8:05 train that bypasses Herne Hill is normally about 6 mins late though, granted.
In fact, I'd say that the First Capital Connect trains i get are the most reliable I've ever encountered. Annoyingly so, no margin for tardiness.

a big bowl of wrong
Tubes leaving Brixton were taking ages to get going and were rammed this morning, by Vicoria people were almost sitting on top of me.
I managed to drag my trailing foot through a squirt of muddy water from an uneven paving slab on the way to work this morning, have had a soggy sock all day.

Are you sure you're talking about FCC? 'Cos they don't serve Victoria..
Guess it depends on which train it is..
10 minute walk, s'a nightmare 
Then again I did commute to school in the square mile for an hour each way for 8 years. I'm sure I had some **bad** journeys but I can't really remember any of them. Getting on the wrong train and ending up in all kind of silly palces was a bit of a pisser. Also having to get the 53 all the way home could be quite annoying.

You'd be surprised.. some people's journeys are so important that they ignore those signs, and still try to get in.

I work in SW1 and recently moved to SE22. First day I trained up to Vic station and it was hellish. Like a grumpiness riot
So now I either get 1 or 2 buses and figure it's worth getting up earlier to get a seat and read my book in peace on a trundling bus instead
