Hi - as the title says.

I know there are loads of buses from Marble Arch to Victoria and the TFL siter says they take about 14-15 mins journey time.

I was just wondering is this journey time realistic or would traffic conditions at this time on a Saturday make journey times much longer. I know from previous experience that tubes are packed at this time on Sat afternoons so was just wondering.

It's only just over a mile so I'd say that's realistic. It does get busy, but there are bus lanes so they generally get around a little bit quicker than everyone else.

thanks for the reply. I might try it next time as the tubes get very crowded at that time.

The problem could be the unexpected event such as a break down in a road etc. that could cause big delays. the tube might still be better.

I guess, although you can get a person fainting on a tube/signal failure or whatever so the tube is sadly not delay-proof either, but you're probably right that the timings are slightly more predictable.
