Help! train noob (english ppl only)

[Bahumat]

I'm going to Birmingham, I am starting my journey from Rayleigh. Does anyone know if i have the correct route planned?

Mainline Rayleigh to Liverpool Street
Central Line to Tottenham Court Road
Northern Line to Euston
Euston to Birmingham New Street


The main bit im a little stuck on is the tube, i was under the impression i could catch one tube but i think i need 2.

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

[Adlatus Hellbringer]

Yes that is correct m8... u need the train from euston and if thats the fastest way of gettin to euston then ur route is correct ;P

 

[Adrianicus]

Personally I would get the circle line from liverpool street back to euston square then walk round to euston - its only a stones throw away.

One less change for you then.

But always check for engineering work on the underground. There is a lot going on these days.

Yes, but i dont think its as simple as that, the Liverpool to Euston is via Tube, however you cant get there on 1 tube from the look of things...i can get to Euston Square via 1 tube, but to get to Euston mainline (or whatever its called) i think i have to get a 2nd tube.

im trying to ascertain if i can get from liverpool street to Euston in 1 tube.

Thats what I pulled from www.nationalrail.co.uk journy planner. Best thing to do is call rail enquirys.

Hate the tube always end up lost but this is useful for making sure the trains you get are going in the right direction

From what I can see there is no engineering work on the circle line so if it was me i'd ignore the central line, get the circle line to euston square and walk around to euston train station.

Its sign posted as you exit the station.

Will mean one less change for you

[Amildin]

wont affect u as ur going west

 

[Thadius]

Why not fly?

Think one of the London airports does a flight to Brummie land

 

[Cadiva]

Personally I would get the circle line from liverpool street back to euston square then walk round to euston - its only a stones throw away.

Aye I'd agree with Adrianicus, the distance from the Euston tube station to the Euston mainline station is tiny, it is just round the corner pretty much.

But then you have to pass Big Issue sellers

Bahumat:- Sorry no thanks!

haha

nah to be serious for a second those Big Issue people actually try and make there money from that and i respect that, not going round mugging people or begging etc.

Haha i have immunity due to being from Essex! :england:

 

[Adrianicus]

No probs

Another thought to confuse you...

You could walk direct from liverpool street to euston. It'll take about 10mins by tube but according to Google you can walk it in 10mins.

You'll get to see a bit of london!

Also the underground will be like a furnace in this weather so your choice really
