Don't Trust Google's Public Transport Maps
I'm down to the big smoke today for a couple of client meetings and then I thought I'd catch another one tomorrow. Driving is ace if you're not going into central London. Unfortunately I'll be letting the train take the strain so I'll have to catch public transport up into north London to see another client. I used the TFL site and that was spot on. But I thought I'd print a map of the area so I can walk from the station to their offices (its not far) and then I saw the "Public Transport" button on Google maps.
A trip that would take 45 mins via the TFL site ended up being 4 hours and 40 minutes via Google!!!

Er nah! And they say they shouldn't "do evil" - pretty evil if you're going to suggest I do that journey!

That's actually pretty funny. It could really mess someone's day up though.
I have not seen the feature before tbh, when was it released?
