The OP might also consider asking the aerodrome brass if they have any
cunning ideas - they're more likely to know about this particular problem,
or at least the destination end of it, than anyone.

Shame there are no public buses serving Haberdashers Askes School. When
I were a lass, there were (private) coaches for the scholars from many
places, including Edgware Station...

I have to get from N13 to Elstree Aerodrome
on Wednesday morning.
After looking at various maps the best I can
come up with on public transport is ;
Train to Watford Junction and get a taxi.
Can anyone tell me a better way ?
Thanks

Unfortunately my computer seems to have been hijacked by some crowd called

with directions,
Good luck,

They reckon taxi from Stanmore, taking 8 minutes. As for getting to
Stanmore... 232 to Neasden then Jubilee? Other people's suggestions
might be more useful.

Well the bus option seems to be 34 to Barnet and the 107 to Allum Lane /
Watling Street and then a walk.

Alternatively just take the 107 to Elstree Station and get a taxi.

The only local bus that goes anywhere near is from the Watford direction
and is the W12 that runs on a one way loop. It is very infrequent but
may possibly be of some use. This level of service simply shows that we
don't know how lucky we are in London!

http://ukbus.u-net.co.uk/cgi/jp.exe?c=hert&x=0&s=N& and enter W12 in the
route number box.

The rail options are pretty limited - you could go to New Barnet to pick
up the 107 from outside as it starts from there but otherwise you face
going back on yourself in order to connect into something like
Thameslink as others have said.

Be warned that the school run traffic near Borehamwood / Aldenham can be
absolutely horrendous so if your travels coincide with this make sure
you allow for extra time - including the taxi element.

This page seems to imply they know the number of a good taxi firm too...
so might be worth giving them a ring...

They probably mean minicab. Although there is a taxi rank in Stanmore, I
have never seen a taxi in it.
