However for anything over 1 hour it sometimes claims no route

walking only options but to no effect.

Any tips for success here?

It used to be unlimited, and you could get a walking route from Romford to
Uxbridge if you wished. I presume they introduced the limit because they
realised people were using it to calculate driving routes.

Try

http://www.transportdirect.info/Tran...Planning/Journ
eyPlannerInput.aspx?cacheparam=4#RouteOptions

which has no need for any such limit since it offers driving routes as
an option ?

Or maybe the South East journey planner :-

Right, because obviously there's nowhere else http://maps.google.co.uk
to get driving routes from.

Are you mocking TfL or me? If me, I'd like to hear a better explanation for
why the limit was introduced.

Is there an actual set limit? Sometimes I can get a result for a
longish walk (nunhead to Holborn for example) but when I did Holborn
to Wandsworth Town yesterday it said there wasnt a route available.

Isn't there a maximum walk option somewhere in the settings?

It used to be 2 hours. I don't know if it's still in place.

Well you can adjust the time but if it doesnt except anything over two
hours then that would explain it!

I thought there was a maximum you can set for yourself.

Either them for introducing it for that ridiculous reason, or you for
making it up. Hope that helps!
