This is an easy-share on Facebook - http://www.passenger.chat/25606pnwxxx - it should come up with a nice map as the graphic!Visiting London from Bristol or Bath, Exeter or Reading, Frome or Westbury?
Take the train into PADDINGTON for Madam Tussauds, Regents Park, Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Kensington Gardens, Lords, London Zoo, Oxford Street, Albert Hall and Natural History and Science Museums
Take the train into WATERLOO for Houses of Parliament, Shakespeare's Globe, Whitehall, Festival Hall, Westmister Abbey, Trafalgar Square, St Pauls Cathedral, Tate Modern, The Strand, The City, Holborn, Tower of London, The London Eye and River Thames
If you value YOUR services to both destinations, please sign my petition at
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/598397 - Bristol and Bath services to Waterloo are scheduled for culling in December. Direct Exeter and Reading services to both are safe - at least this year (but please help us by signing and helping prevent a precedent - there has been no public consultation and the culling decision looks ill-informed and perverse). See
http://waterloo.savethetrain.org.uk for more details.
Paddington is not Waterloo. Waterloo is not Paddington. They are different places, different destinations. They are 4.5 km apart.
The map accompanying this post shows a 2km radius circle around Paddington, Waterloo and also Clapham Junction (served by the Waterloo trains). That's a 25 to 35 minute walk (typical walking speed of 1.4 m/sec allowing for waiting to cross the road and the indirect nature of the walk)
* A comparison with other places which have multiple railway stations - in each case within walking distance of each other, and with strongly overlapping catchments):
1.5 km between Manchester (Picadilly) and Manchester (Victoria)
0.5 km between Glasgow (Central) and Glasgow (Queen Street)
10 yards between St Budeaux (Ferry Road) and St Budeaux (Victoria Road).
