Well I’ve been trying something different this week.
I can save a third on my travel costs if I get an overground only train ticket. That means that I have to travel in to Kings Cross, and head off on foot, but this has a bonus of being some actual exercise – with a half hour walk at the beginning and end of each day. And no squeezing onto an overcrowded tube.
Multimap estimates it as being 1.7 miles in each direction.
And the other advantage is that I can vary my route each day. The map below shows some of the options I’ve used in just three days!
I must admit that I’m jealous of the Brompton owning fraternity, but they’re so expensive, and they hold their prices in the second-hand market too. Nonetheless, when I’m solvent, I shall investigate my options.
