My fastest route to work, from Forest Hill to Tolworth,
was almost certainly Forest Hill - London Bridge - Waterloo - Tolworth.

This would need a zone 1-5 ticket.

By going from Forest Hill - East Croydon - Clapham - Tolworth, I saved
over £30 a month and only needed a zone 2-5 ticket.

Travelling via East Croydon is at least as fast as going via Waterloo
according to the TFL journey planner.


Going Forest Hill - West Croydon - Tram to Wimbledon - Tolworth seems to be
the fastest route (though as the TfL JourneyPlanner has been down all
morning I can't check what it thinks), and you only need Z345 so saving more
money.

Dave.

TfL say 1h03 for that in the morning, going via East Croydon (going via
West Croydon involves two trams as West Croydon tramstop is eastbound only).

Interestingly you can make the journey with a single change during the
day. I had no idea there were direct trains between Forest Hill and
Victoria. Unfortunately the half-hourly arrival at Clapham Junction is
at exactly the same time as the half-hourly departure to Tolworth -
meaning if you can make a snappy change, your whole journey is only 40
mins - otherwise it's 1h10 including a 30-min wait.
