If they stayed on the Piccadilly, Victoria, or Northern lines, then
they would miss Farringdon completely. Farringdon isn't much of an
alternative junction for these routes - all you'll cause is even more
traffic on the metropolitan/H+C/Circle line. And if you are going
westwards, then it's in completely the opposite direction.

However, if they stay on their Thameslink train from Stevenage or
King's Lynn, they will be able to change onto Crossrail at Farringdon
and head westwards then.


I tried that suggestion yesterday, re FCC, but I 'lonely traveller' seems
not to be aware of services other than the tube, or that pax from the whole
Thameslink network, from both north and south of London, will be able to get
to the West End and City without going on the underground at all...
