How does one find out about minimum connection times between London
termini? I can't find any mention of it in the National Rail
Timetable, nor on the NRE website.


In the preamble to the NRTT, page 44

Thanks - I should have known that - it's 38 mins from St Pancras to
Euston - just beyond the 35 minute time that would be available, if
everything ran on time.

The actual time is a fiction (firstly it's by tube, secondly we know the
walk is less than 10 minutes, and thirdly the journey planner allows the
connection despite the 4 minute shortcoming).

What I was hoping for was that a potentially missed connection would be
officially "protected" as a result of the recommended time being 34
minutes or less (but it's not).

What a star! Unfortunately it says 38 minutes, which is 4 minutes too
long; on the other hand it's for a tube transfer, and the ticketing
websites are ignoring it because they are offering a 34 minute transfer.

And on the other other hand... they have 30 minutes for St Pancras to
Kings Cross.
