Aye that's fair enough like, must admit the Metro at night isn't great like to be fair.

Just because you do it doesn't mean you're obsessed with buses, you might prefer the 27. Also isn't the 27 the fastest way on public transport to get there atleast the most direct? The Metro you have to change. The 10 is only takes around 1 hour 10-20 mins and for £1.80 its a steal

I don't believe for a second that a lot of people do the 56 from Monument (give or take) to Park Lane. It's not a sensible route at all it takes 80 minutes vs 31 minutes on the Metro it's just not comparable at all and personally I think anyone who would openly do that has way too much spare time.

Metro beats the 27
Train beats the 10

Both by big margins aswell.

27: 74 Mins, Metro: 29 Mins
10: 75 Mins, Train: 34 Mins, 685: 51 Mins
