Thank you for your kind comments. I live on Dartmouth Road, so there is a slight benefit in journey time in that the bus stop is close to my house, and on the return journey it isn't necessary to cross from one side of the station to the other.

My destination in London is usually Tottenham Court Road. The journey from there to Victoria is slightly complicated as Central line trains are not stopping at TCR station for a year or so (the new entrance to TCR raises another set of questions, as all passengers exit at the same point where the pavement is narrow, but that for another time). The options are Northern Line - either to Embankment then District and C, or to Warren Street then Victoria. It takes about 12 minutes from TCR via Warren Street.

The point about contacting the press is sound. I have already contacted the Standard by phone.
