How long does it take on the Tube from Victoria to QPR?

[Lady Whistledown]

Am trying to work out whether I'll have time to make the game tomorrow...been ages since I went to QPR so I haven't a clue.

Any ideas?

About 20 mins from Vic to White City (Central Line)

Victoria - Oxford Circus - White City - Loftus Road. 30 mins +/- 5.

Cutting it a little fine, I suspect. Arse.

Factor in that it can be very slow getting into the ground. Allow 20-30 minutes for that approaching KO.

Bit of tube trivia for you. You could have got a tube train to see the last public hanging in Britain. Amazing, eh?

Brilliant...

Won't be there until 8. I hope no one is in my seat

Have got to get from Chichester to Haywards Heath, then back to Burgess Hill, up to Victoria & on to QPR, all after 4:30- 5:00pm.

It's looking a LITTLE bit rushed, I fear.

Try the overground from Clapham Junction to Shepherds Bush 12 minutes, much less hassle than the tube.

Oh, what an excellent tip. The walk from Shepherd's bush is further than from White City, of course, but overall, it has to be less time, shirley?

I think Edna can do it. The Shepherds Bush route looks like a banker.

Aaah, at last. The White City/Shepherds Bush gambit and hence: Mornington Crescent.
I believe I've just won a corker.

You can get a train from Clapham Junction direct to Shepherds Bush, thereby avoiding the tube altogether

Edited - looks like you beat me to it.

It's a good service from Clapham Jct. The longest you should have to wait is 15 minutes but there are lots of services in the rush-hour.

Overground is every 15 minutes and Southern run a couple an hour along that line in peak times too.

Much easier than via Victoria and you avoid the crush.....a bit anyway as the Overground gets packed at peak times.

For those of us running late and charging between platforms with little time to check, any idea which platform at Clapham these trains generally leave from ?

Platform 1 for the Overground (most frequent) - 16 or 17 for Southern. For the Overground, the platform is kind of split in 2 with 1 train for Shepherds Bush and 1 train for South London.

Best use the National rail app about 5 minutes before Clapham to see where the next train is.

Thanks for the tip! Are you going?

Thanks ! Might make the difference between just missing one or not .
