Very Handy Andy : Fine And Dandy (1)

Leaving aide the rather odd phrase “overland train services”, we are encouraged that Mr Burnham wants to have a fully integrated transport system for Manchester. We may be slightly less encouraged that he wants to be as integrated as transport in London.

 

So we begin this series of mini-blogs with two questions.

1. Who “owns” the Elizabeth Line line?

2, What is the fare from Paddington to Bond Street?

It would appear that the Elizabeth Line line is part of National Rail because it appears on the National Rail journey planner. And, according to said web site, that journey will cost you £6.70 – repeat six pounds and seventy pence for one stop.

Of course, you could go all the way to Liverpool Street for your Zone 1 fare of £6.70.

But it appears that you can travel even further for your £6.70.

So here is the next integrated transport question for London.

3. What is the fare from London Bridge to Kings Cross? Will it, too, be £6.70?

4. And what if I travel by bus on London’s integrated network.

These questions will be answered in tomorrow’s blog!
