Change at Farringdon: TfL's planner allows as little as four minutes between the trains, so a missed change costs a quarter of an hour. The Thameslink leg is longer in the evening and at weekends, up to an hour.
The coach is cheaper (from £14.90) and quicker, but it runs on a timetable of its own and can sell out.
