[1] === The underground connection ====

	FRIDAYS from Cambridge to Woodmansterne

	There are fast trains from Cambridge to Kings Cross every 
30 minutes and trains from London Victoria to Woodmansterne every 
30 minutes, until 1946, after which time the trains are every hour. 
Here is an example:

	Cambridge 1754
	KX        1846
	-------------- (underground is included in your ticket)

	Victoria  1916 (the number "72" train to Tattenham Corner)
	Woodmans' 2000

Basically, turn up any time in the afternoon and you can get a connection 
equivalent to this. 

	SUNDAYS from Woodmans' to Cam'

	Trains run every hour. From Woodmansterne the trains run at 
the same minutes past every hour. From KX to Cambridge only roughly so, 
but there are two trains every hour. 
Here is an example: 

	Woodmans      1702
	London Bridge 1741 (note on Sundays it goes to a different terminus:
				you can get off at Charing Cross after 
				London Bridge, but London Bridge is probably
				the best underground connection)

	KX	      1815
	Cam	      1918


[2]  alternative stations and better Thameslink connections

This is where it gets really exciting! Chris Mills says that another 
good station (indeed, better, if one is going to Chris's Mum's) is 
Coulsdon South. So here is information for getting there. 
Furthermore, I have found yet another way of connecting cross-London, 
which makes trains even better as a way of getting there!

The hot new option is to take the train to Kings Cross, then instead
of taking the underground, to transfer to the Kings Cross Thameslink
station (other side of the street) and take the train to East Croydon
(there are three every hour, destination Brighton); then at East
Croydon you can get onto not only all the trains to Woodmansterne but
also all the trains to Coulsdon South (of which there's about 3 every 
hour).

Here is a sample: 

	Cambridge 	1754
	KX        	1846
	-------------- 
	KXT	  	1852
	East Croydon	1924
	-------------- 
	East Croydon	1927
	Coulsdon S.	1936

If you want to get on the Coulsdon train at the London terminus, then go 
to Victoria. 

---------------- Return journey on Sunday ----------------

Useful fact:
If you get to Purley station (one stop north of Coulsdon South) then 
you can get all of the trains that go through both Woodmansterne and 
Coulsdon South. 

From Coulsdon South trains run once every hour; between East Croydon and 
Kings Cross Thameslink there are four trains (yes four!) every hour:

e.g.	Coulsdon S.	1745
	East Croydon	1755
	------
	East Croydon	1801
	KXT		1830
	------
	KX	      	1845
	Cam	      	1949

Now I think that's pretty cool compared with sitting in a traffic jam on the 
M25 and then dying in a pile-up of bumper to bumper BMWs. :-)

Finally, here's an example for going from Woodmansterne via KX Thameslink.

	Woodmans      1702
	East Croydon  1717
	------------------
	E. C.         1731
	KXT	      1800
	------------------
	KX	      1815
	Cam	      1918
