    Anyone in Uxbridge that thinks their public transport is poor is looking for excuses. they have Chilton railway, circle, picadilly and metropolitan UGlines and busses with frequency measured in minutes

      I’ve heard that the problems are about moving around the area itself. The links to central London are good but moving laterally is harder. I’m not familiar with the area myself so I don’t know how true that is.

        I used to commute by public transport in that area from high Wycombe to chalfont at Giles 15-20min walk at each end but nothing unsurmountable, some of my colleagues refused saying it was too far from tha station.

        Problems are likily to be if you use the m25 and get off your spur, so like Uxbridge to st albans or Uxbridge to Leatherhead then I can see going through the center is a pain. But if public transport is not good enough in one of the best connected cities in the world we are never going to solve the problem.
