On a Dartford - Victoria or Sevenoaks - Blackfriars service. (Of course, the latter will be a Sevenoaks - somewhere in Thameslink North land service from next March...) Not exactly on the way to Liverpool Street though. For a Denmark Hill aka Camberwell to Liverpool Street journey I have to say that going via the SLL to London Bridge would not be the first thing that popped into my head. Incidentally I don't know how you get from London Bridge to Liverpool Street - do you take the Northern line to Moorgate and walk round the corner, or do you take a bus? (One can take a Circle/Met/H&C train one stop from Moorgate to Liverpool St station, but I'd choose to walk it at street level as I think it's just as quick - I suppose the Circle line at Liverrpool Street does deliver you fairly close to the concourse though. That said, if I was using Oyster PAYG for my journey on the mainline trains out of LST then I'd quite possibly go to Liverpool St Underground station so I could take advantage of being charged for one continuous journey rather than two separate journeys.) Anyway, my alternate routes from DH/Camberwell to Liverpool St would either be to take a bus (routes 185/ 36/ 436) up Camberwell New Road to Oval tube station then Northern line to Moorgate, or just take a bus all the way - the 35 and 42 go from Camberwell Green to Liverpool St, the 40 goes to Aldgate which is a v short walk away, or if one is feeling adventurous and is prepared to grapple with the somewhat esoteric ways of Elephant & Castle one can bus hop (i.e. first bus from Camberwell to E&C, then one of three bus routes on to Liverpool St). And yes, I'd genuinely say that taking a bus off-peak might well compare quite favourably to your option of taking a train from DH to London Bridge and then doing whatever it is that you do. However I'm aware that often my efforts to persuade people that the bus is a legitimate option worthy of consideration are just exercises in futility! Yet more options could involve taking the train from DH to E&C then taking the Northern line to Moorgate, or taking a bus from Camberwell to E&C then the tube, or variations thereof. Tom Anderson's suggestion of the possibility of taking a direct train from DH to Farringdon (post-March '09) is also actually a very good one in my mind - but I'll address what I think are your slightly misplaced concerns about that downthread... My comment was based on a trip to King's College Hospital to visit my father as an inpatient some years ago. I must have misremembered my destination as Liverpool St. I arrived on the SLL from the other direction. |
