Farringdon to Abbey Wood is normally 20 minutes duration on the Elizabeth Line, 40 minutes on Thameslink. There are normally two Thameslink Rainham trains per hour again at the moment.
Someone on the Essex Road video mentioned that the fact that the northern city line is not on the tube map and it suggests that you have to go via King's Cross. This gave me an idea for a race. It would also be interesting to see whether it's quicker to change at Euston or at King's Cross
At 8:28, I was actually sitting on the seat right opposite you. It sounds unbelievable, but to prove it, the exact date that this was recorded was the 11th September at around 2pm Edit: just realised that didn’t prove anything. Oh well.
Yes ... But the fastest way by TRAIN to Plumstead is Thameslink because Elizabeth Line doesn't go there. And you'll rightly get strange looks if people ask you "What's the best way to get to Plumstead?" and you reply "Get the Lizzie to Woolwich, then get out and walk!"
Also worth mentioning that the Elizabeth Line is more frequent, so it's potentially a _lot_ faster if you just missed a thameslink.
Great race, loved the intercuts between the two of you with the editor's comments, and can't wait for the next one!
Ccxcghjkklll.😊😊
CONGRATS ON 1K GUYS VERY DESERVED
Another great challenge, thanks TfL Three. Well done.
Enjoyed the race, great video congrats to the winner

brilliant race i enjoyed watching this
another race idea is Shenfield to reading Elizabeth Line vs Greater Anglia+ London Underground + GWR

Plumstead station is where my dad used to live then he moved to thamesmead
The Elizabeth line will always win as its m in frequent. The fact that guy walked from Woolwich to Plumstead shoes how ahead the Elizabeth line is.
Great video!
7:21 Hugh you missed Woolwich Dockyard
Thameslink Rainham service doesn’t stop there ~ Hugh
"he is also much more athletic than Hugh"
No need for that sort of violation
You were extremely lucky because the rainham trains are once an hour and you only had to wait 3 minutes
It’s actually every 30 minutes between Luton and Remain so if he did miss it it would be less but still loose
@@MaxTaylor-h2s it was an hour before they've increased frequency now this comment was a whole 11 months ago
Casually ignores the fact that in the outro someone stopped the door from closing
That could have been a much closer race if Daniel hadn't gone all Usain Bolt at Farringdon :D
Doesnt Plumstead have an interesting Bus Garage (and modern road flyover ?)
Good video

Great Scott!! You’re right, yeah this was shot quite a while ago and it was indeed right then and there. Hope you enjoyed the finished video ~Hugh
Another great challenge & adventure ...... good one lads
I live near Plumstead.
It's quicker if you get off at abbey wood and get thameslink/south eastern 1 stop to plumstead if you make a good connection
I doubt most people would walk 16 minutes. More likely to walk to Woolwich Arsenal and then get the train one stop.
Not so smug a winner if it had been pouring with rain!
Itd make more sense to go to Abbey Wood
@Daniel - vada the lallies
