Default How Far is it...

Between London Euston and London Victoria train stations?

On Monday I am going from Liverpool to Sittingbourne to collect a new car, according to Virgin Trains I have to change at Euston and get on at Victoria to get to Sittingbourne, but the last time I went to London I was about 14 so dont remember and dont want to get lost either.

Could someone tell me where I need to go when I get to Euston so I dont get lost or mugged .

Cheers.

Catch the Victoria Line Tube from Euston to Victoria

Trains to Sittingbourne leave Victoria at --22 or --52

Or you can walk to St Pancras, 10 min walk (Out of Euston turn left follow Rd) and catch the Highspeed Service to Sittingbourne these leave at --25 or --55 and get to Sittingbourne all of 6 minutes faster LOL

Is that all the way to Sittingbourne ????

Your ticket should include the tube far if not the tube is Ł4

You will have to pay a supplement on the Highspeed service which is about Ł3

Trains from St Pancras to Sittingbourne leave from Platforms 11,12 and 13

Trains from Victoria to Sittingbourne leave from platforms 1 to 8
