Today i used online, realtime services to plan a journey by train to stratford and also by car to stratford. I found the task relatively easy, this could be due to many factors.
While planning my car journey i found google maps very userfriendly and quick to do. It gave me an estimated arrival time with current traffic and also an estimated fuel cost. No other website offered features close to this. It also offered the quickest route to get there without me having to research which would be the quickest route, this made my task a lot quicker and easier to do.
Planning my rail journey was slightly more difficult however i still found the task relatively easy. By using websites such as the nationalrail.co.uk i was able to find a ticket within seconds and it took me straight to my location. I found that using this website was the best possible option as i was able to find the all round best train ticket as the website filtered out the search for me. This made my job a lot easier.
Altogether i thought that planning my journey by whatever transport was relatively easy, i think mainly it was due to the realtime services that i used, these helped me significantly. If i was brutally honest, i hardly put any effort in to find my route as mostly these services did it for me.
Below are some links that i used during planning my journey;
