We also explain other transport modes and connections so you can plan your whole journey, rather than just the Underground section.<\/p>\n<p>The blog covers history, curiosities and advice for your visit. In articles we review, we distinguish documented facts from legends, proposals and opinions. An interesting anecdote should not become a certainty simply because several websites repeat it.<\/p>\n<h2>How we review information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identifiable sources.<\/strong> For fares, services and travel conditions, we consult Transport for London, operators and organisers. For history and curiosities, we check archives, museums and other sources relevant to the subject.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Advice that helps you decide.<\/strong> We aim to explain what each detail means for your journey: a card&#8217;s coverage, the limits of an overnight service or the difference between an accessible station and an entirely step-free route.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dates and limits.<\/strong> Reviewed pages include a verification date. That date does not guarantee services will remain unchanged for your visit or mean the whole website was updated at once.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Corrections.<\/strong> We correct information we identify as wrong or outdated. When we cannot substantiate a claim, we qualify or remove it rather than present it as verified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The website does not replace transport operators&#8217; service updates or an activity organiser&#8217;s information. Before setting out, check your <a href=\"https:\/\/tfl.gov.uk\/plan-a-journey\/\">journey with TfL<\/a>, disruptions and the current conditions of the services you intend to use.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact and suggestions<\/h2>\n<p>You can find us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/metrodelondres\/\">Facebook<\/a> or visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metrolondres.es\/en\/contact\/\">contact page<\/a> to ask questions, report errors or suggest topics.<\/p>\n<p>If you spot a problem, include the page URL and the specific detail. If you have a source that allows us to check it, include that too: it will help the review.<\/p>\n<p>You can also propose a contribution or an article. We welcome useful, verifiable information for travellers, without assuming visits, tests or experiences that have not taken place.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for using MetroLondres.es to prepare your trip.<\/p>\n<p><small>This page last reviewed: 4 November 2026.<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to MetroLondres.es, a guide to planning your journeys around London and understanding how to use its public transport.
