The first
stop in London is Golders Green on the Northern Line of the London
Underground, Zone 3. A lot of people get off here, especially at peak
hours to avoid traffic congestion further in the centre. Note National
Express also run a Stansted to Stratford bus service - this is a slightly
shorter journey between Stansted Airport and London's Underground
system.
Subsequent stops are all near Underground Stations too. Baker Street
is a major Underground hub with five Underground lines.
At Victoria the bus terminates at Victoria
Coach Station, this is about 600m south of the rail and underground
station at Victoria. The competing Terravision service terminates
immediately opposite at the Green Line Coach Station. |
