It's meant to be Baker Street to Roehampton. Thanks. I'm not sure I even count Roehampton to Baker Street as crossing the centre either as it happens. Depends on your definition of the centre! It enters the congestion charging zone and it spends a significant portion of its journey in Zone 1. -- Dave Arquati Imperial College, SW7 www.alwaystouchout.com - Transport projects in London |

Aka why the hotels near Paddington station are a very good idea - you have the FGW ticket office as well as the LU one to choose from. |
