Why bother, go to Waterloo then Bakerloo/Northern line (to taste)
and then Central Line to White City which is right opposite TV Centre..
Shepherds Bush is right the other end of Shepherds Bush Green and,
frankly, I wouldn't fancy walking back there from TVC after dark.

It's counter intuitive but how about Waterloo, Bakerloo or Jubilee to Baker
St then Hammersmith and City to the new station that I can't remember the
name of?

Google

Wood Lane, that's the one.

I didn't know they had built a new station... six months not working
in London and it seems I'm out of touch already.

Both the new stations at Wood Lane on the H&C and Shepherd's Bush on
the WLL have been built in connection with, and at least partially
financed by, Westfield - i.e. the bods who built, own and run the
mamoth new shopping centre there.


Thanks for all the more or less convoluted ways of getting there by
tube, but Fleet-CJn-Shepherds Bush has the benefit of being only one
change and fairly direct. And as I am meeting friends at 5.45 the WLL
from CJn should have the benefit of being relatively quiet. * The walk
should be no more than a mile, via major roads I don't see why that
should be a problem.


The WLL is pretty busy these days, though more so in the southbound
direction - travelling at 5.45 in the opposite direction definitely
couldn't be described as being relatively quiet!


Besides I don't think I've ever been north of Olympia on the WLL.

I was trying to save the cost of a travelcard - but without the Super
Off Peak option it isn't worth it. *But often, if I'm only likely to
be catching one tube, or using the bus, I go for London Stations
ticket + use of Oyster.


As I state elsewhere on this thread, Oyster PAYG is valid for use on
the WLL these dfays - and that includes from Clapham Junction.

Here's a map of the National Rail routes on which PAYG is currently
valid (PDF):
