Last week I had a little moan. Well I seem to be right to be a little miffed about the time my journey on the tube takes. The longest journey time during the week was 67 minutes, and the shortest was 55 minutes, both above what the average journey time should take. Even the Transport for London journey planner for the 07:44 train, which is the one I aim for, says it should take 54 minutes. So, going to work, I am spending half an hour more on the tube, than I should.
Transport for London reckons the journey time back to Dagenham is quicker. This does seem to ring true. However, my average journey time takes an extra 5 minutes. Which over a week works out to be an extra 25 minutes.
Am I right to moan about this? Well, it is nearly an extra hour a week travelling time. However, I can see the solution that Transport for London would implement. They would just increase the published journey times.
I will carry on keeping notes of the times for the next couple of weeks, and will feed back my findings later.
