<span style="font-family: 'Merriweather Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">'The nearest stations are Haringey — trains to Moorgate take 16 minutes — or Crouch Hill, which has services to King’s Cross that take about 45 minutes.'</span><div><span style="font-family: 'Merriweather Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Merriweather Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Would anyone in their right mind get the train from Crouch Hill to Kings Cross?</span></div>

Yes that's proper non-sense.

How could you even get the train from Crouch Hill to Kings Cross....? You could walk in 45 minutes I reckon.<br>

Actually, I've got it. Crouch Hill -> Gospel Oak -> Highbury & Islington -> Finsbury Park (via Moorgate line) -> King Cross (on mainline trains)<br><br>This completely avoids the tube and means you don't walk any major distance interchanging.<br>

@NorthNineteen.<div><br></div><div>Brilliant. That sounds like one of those crazy routes a tourist takes in a major city when they could just walk down the road.</div><div>(Which appears to be what the ES is suggesting prospective residents may want to consider)</div>
