Default Maze at Bank?

When I travel occasionally from Liverpool St to Waterloo I always
walk to Bank and use the Drain, but with other trips I've found that
Bank is a maze especially at W/Es when some bits are closed.
Getting to/from DLR seems a particular problem, is there a 'plan'
available, or would I just be better off using Central Line to
Bank for any interchange?
If you're coming from the West Anglia line (and I think you are) you
could also change at Tottenham Hale and Oxford Circus. (Two escalators
at the former, cross-platform interchange at the latter). Less
interesting and healthy than a stroll through the City but probably
easier with luggage.


I nearly always use Tottenham Hale rather than Liverpool St when using
the West Anglia route from Cambridge.


Even if you wanted DLR?


In which case Tottenham Hale still makes sense. The "One" service from
there to Stratford takes 14 mins - which is about the same time as it
takes to get to Liverpool Street. Though it's not particularly
frequent (twice-hourly at best).

From Stratford the journey time to, say, Canary Wharf is 11 mins.


On Sundays (which is when you said you were travelling) the West
Anglia stopping trains from Cambridge to Liverpool Street currently go
via Stratford anyway.
