Could someone tell me how to get from the High Street Kensington station to Euston station? Either take bus and tube (change once, takes 35 minutes) or take the tube only (change twice, takes 25 minutes). Which do you prefer? When do you plan to leave? -- Erick |

Cathy L.:
Subject: London Subway By "subway", of course, you mean "Underground" or "tube". Some would say this proves you are trolling, but I'll post anyway because some others reading this might want to know how the train routes have changed. Could someone tell me how to get from the High Street Kensington station to Euston station? "Barney": Take the Circle Line to Euston Square and then walk the very short distance to Euston Station. Not so simple. The Circle Line got decircularized two months ago. Circle trains now run from Hammersmith to Edgware Road via the Hammersmith & City Line route, then go *once* around the old Circle Line route and terminate; and likewise the other way. You *could* still get from High Street Kensington to Euston Square with only one train, but you'd have to go the long way around the circle -- start out westbound and go via Aldgate. Not worth considering. However, if you take an eastbound train from High Street Kensington, you can ride as far as Edgware Road, where the train terminates. There are two possibilities: Circle and District Line trains. They start from the same platform and go the same way as far as Edgware Road station, but arrive in different platforms. (I haven't been to London since the route changed and I don't know if there will be changing signs or PA announcements that will tell you which train you have. See the next paragraph for why you care, if you have luggage.) To leave Edgware Road, you want the eastbound platform for the Circle and the Hammersmith & City Line, which is Platform 1. If you arrived on a Circle Line train, you are on Platform 2 and will find Platform 1 as the opposite face of the same physical platform; but if it was a District Line train, you arrived on Platform 3, and then you'll have to use stairs up and down to change platforms. From the eastbound platform, any train (Circle or Hammersmith & City) will take you the rest of the way to Euston Square. There is also, of course, a *Euston* tube station, which is closer to the main-line train station than Euston Square is -- but getting there from High St. Ken. would either require two changes of train or, again, a rather indirect route (via Victoria). I'd go with the option via Edgware Road instead. Or alternatively, pay for a taxi. For anyone reading this who might prefer a diagram, the platform usage at Edgware Road now is like this. Trains in the two middle tracks are terminating and going back to their starting point; Circle lines will return to this station before going on to Hammersmith. Trains on the outer tracks are running through the station and continuing in the same direction. ---------1--------- Circle and H&C to King's Cross etc. (eastbound) ################ --------2------- Circle to High St. Ken., Victoria, Aldgate, etc. --------3------- District to High St. Ken., Earl's Court, Wimbledon ################ --------4---------- Circle and H&C to Hammersmith (westbound) -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "When I wanted to be a sigquote, that wasn't | the one I was thinking of." --Clive Feather My text in this article is in the public domain. |
