Make transfers less stressful with a few simple checks.
Check the actual service day
Weekday, weekend and holiday timetables may differ. Confirm the first and last service times, especially after events. Use official operator updates for cancellations and platform changes.
Plan transfers with a buffer
A transfer that appears possible on a map may involve stairs, long walks or separate ticketing systems. Allow time for accessibility needs, crowds and luggage. If one connection is missed, know the next practical option.
Compare total journey cost
Look beyond ticket price to include station access, potential baggage fees and any parking. The fastest route is not always the most comfortable; compare transfers and walking distance.
