/journey <from> <to>

​
Overview

The /journey command allows you to plan a journey using London’s public transport system. It provides detailed information about the route, including the lines used, changes required, and estimated travel time.

This command provides journey planning for any station in the UK, but it is most effective for London public transport.

Be aware that you might see duplicate autocomplete results for a single when the a station is served by multiple modes. This is because the TfL systems treats them as seperate stations. Always choose the one that matches the mode you want to use.

In the case of the Elizabeth Line, it will not have any suffix to the station name. Other modes will, such as “Stratford Underground Station” or “Stratford DLR Station”.
