Arrived in London safely
Won't here me complaining about the cost of the Brisbane Airtrain. Cost £18 each for the 15 min train to Paddington. Ouch. The under ground was a more reasonable £4 each for the longer ride out to Barking. Peak hour too but got a seat and Ben was well behaved almost falling asleep in Carole's arms.
Have to sort out oyster card top ups tomorrow. Like a Go Card.
The underground can be challenging with suitcases..most stops aren't equipped with lifts, many platforms don't have escalator access (not good for disabled travellers) and the larger stations with rail connections are complicated and massive to navigate.

Glad you guys arrived safely. The train fare may have cost a small fortune but you are in London!!!! A very very green Aussie here!!
Nice of them to name a train station after you!
Did you see the impressive 'Sherlock' statue out the front? A great Sherlock museum and gift shop in Baker St itself too(for shame - I forget that famous number!).But maybe you were just passing through to change trains.
Hope the transport doesn't send you 'Barking'! (I'm so funny!)
Hi Girls
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment!
Actually it was just a quick snap that Tony took while we were on the tube travelling to Barking. 221b is the number.
Love Carole
