Default Worst ten commutes

I'm not surprised Essex to London Bridge is a horrible commute by
rail. After all, it does involve changing at Stratford, West
Hampstead *and* St Pancras at the moment (unless Crossrail got
built without us noticing).


Why would anyone make that journey in such a ridiculously ineffective
way? I think you must have got confused somehow, I just can't
understand why someone would make the journey like that, passing
through West Hampstead or St Pancras. Surely the best way to make such
a journey would be something like catch a train to Liverpool Street and
then a bus to London Bridge.

And the poor Jubilee Line. The extension just doesn't seem to have
agreed with it... let's hope the extra cars and signalling upgrade
cure that.


My experience of the Jubilee line is usually very good and I use it all
the time, although on most days of the week not at the typical peak
hours. My journeys are also made only on the JLE, I don't know if that
makes any difference.
