Plan your journey before you leave the house – London Transport Planner!
-Tells you if there are any bus delays or tube breakdown and the fastest way to reach your destination. It also factors in your waiting and walking time to your transport tool as well.
This actually works out very well indeed and has served us well for many occasions.
One additional tip to share as well – If your trip involves transfers, DO remember to keep looking out of the window! If you do, you might be able to hop out to your next transfer with minimum delay! So if you see your next train transfer arriving on the next platform, do make a run for it. Couple of steps to help you –
a. Make sure there is minimum time difference in train doors opening.
b. Run out of your current train without hesistation.
c. Hop onto the next train and remember to be on the alert for closing train doors!!
There – you are now all equipped for your next efficient journey 🙂
