[Sca-cooks] OT: Visiting London- long

[Johnna Holloway]

Getting out to Hampton Court in April was just a disaster for us.
It's usually just a quick tube ride and then rail all the way. This  
time it was
tube, rail, get off train,  take a bus, and then get back on the  
train. Reverse.
And despite checking on http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ you can still get  
caught up
in the madness. We spent 90 minutes trying to get the proper information
at Victoria Station. We finally found someone who understood that they  
were
line and station closings for the day we wanted to travel on and that  
the summer direct buses
weren't running yet.
