I can't reproduce your lot, even with the TfL Journey Planner, Roland. it
offers the 0728 to the Cross, then H&C/Circle/Met or the 0732 to LST and
walk.

NRES, yesterday, and still doing it today.

Oh I see. I gave up on NRES years ago.

I didn't think the TfL journey planner would stretch out as far as
Cambridge (well, Ely really, I'm only starting in Cambridge because the
Sunday service from Ely has let me down).

The boundaries of TfL journey planners are not well defined.
When I flag issues to Customer Services, they take a practical "Who
Cares?" attitude and technical people are protected from this perverse
user. Glasgow Central Rail Station sometimes works. (Enter that datum
and clear "Station or stop in ..." for it to do so, today.

I have just constructed the following URL:
http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/use...language=en&se
ssionID=0&ptOptionsActive=-1&type_destination=stop&name_destination=Camb
ridge Rail Stationl&type_origin=stop&name_origin=Oval

The journey Planner gives 3 alternative names.
Selecting "Cambridge Rail Station" returns plausible data.

Much nearer to home, I can't get Oval - Radlett to work.

http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk/use...language=en&se
ssionID=0&ptOptionsActive=-1&type_destination=stop&name_destination=Moor
gate&type_origin=stop&name_origin=Ely, Ely Rail Station works.
Howwever "Ely, Ely Rail Station" is transformed to "Ely Rail Station" on
editing and that does not work. To make it work by typing in a browser,
1) in From, enter "Ely, Ely Rail Station" and clear London or
2) use "Ely Rail Station" and "Ely (Cambs)". That (Cambs) is needed.

I hope C stock travellers have a companionable day.
I should have offered coffee at my MGT gaff to UTL contributors. ;(
