About STARS Safer Journey Planner

The STARS Safer Journey Planner was created for all new Year 6 and Year 7 pupils in London, to help them travel safely, confidently and independently to and from their new secondary school. It’s a fantastic way to help prepare for this vital transition.

For young people (10-11 years old)

Travelling to school on your own for the first time is a big deal. It’s also a time when lifelong habits are formed. Whether you’re walking, cycling, scooting or catching public transport, STARS Safer Journey Planner helps you make each trip safely, responsibly, and with respect for others.

For parents and guardians

Based on TfL’s Safety and Citizenship programme, STARS Safer Journey Planner combines vital safety, active travel and journey planning advice in a way that’s tailored to young people, while also supporting our Healthy Streets and Vision Zero initiatives.

Introducing STARS

At TfL, we want to encourage more young Londoners to walk, cycle and use public transport. STARS is an accreditation scheme for schools, nurseries and colleges that’s designed to inspire pupils and students to travel sustainably, actively, responsibly and safely.

STARS is your opportunity to make a real difference to your community. Each school is in charge of its chosen activities, with support from the London boroughs and TfL.

Healthy Streets

Healthy Streets aims to improve air quality and reduce congestion, helping to make London a greener, healthier and more attractive place to live, work, play and do business.

The aim of Vision Zero is for no one at all to be killed or seriously injured on our roads, making London a safer place for everyone.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

What is the TfL Journey Planner and how to use it?

Share this with

With more rail, tube, and bus strikes potentially on the horizon, getting around London can prove troublesome during industrial action. However, there are ways to plan your journey effectively in advance to help minimise disruption.

The latest tube maps (including stations that avoid stairs, accept cycles, and more) are published on the TfL.go.UK website for when services are running.

However, for smartphone users, the official TfL Go app helps you plan tube, bus, and rail journeys around the capital (including an update for the newly opened Elizabeth line ) and live reports on service disruption across London.

If, for any reason, you are unable to access the app, the TfL Journey Planner is also available via the browser on your PC, laptop, phone, and more.

What is the TfL Journey Planner?

The TfL Journey Planner is a website run by Transport for London that works similarly to the National Rail Enquiries page. It allows you to search and plan your journeys across London in advance. 

However, the journey planner seeks to be an all-encompassing solution for transport that goes beyond rail travel.

For example, it will show you options for cycling, cycle hire, bus routes, and more. The site also gives you walking routes, with the option to view written directions or to open the path in Google maps.

The app encourages users to walk or cycle where possible and also gives the option to discover quieter times to travel, which can be particularly useful if you are not in a rush to make your trip.

How to use the TfL Journey Planner

Beginning on the TfL Journey Planner homepage , you can input your potential journey details based on geographical locations, underground stations, bus stops, and more.

Latest London news

• You could soon be paying £10 a pint in London
• When is the next London mayor election?
• Map reveals the worst London boroughs for phone thefts as cases rise

To get the latest news from the capital visit Metro.co.uk's London news hub .

This allows you to pinpoint your starting place and destination. The site also gives you the option to pick from any journeys you’ve recently entered. Any updates or strike action will also be listed in a yellow banner at the top of the homepage.

The default allows you to plan a journey departing now, but you can alter the departure time if you are planning your trip further in advance.  

Once you have entered your journey details, you’ll be presented with options like ‘cycling and other’ (which will include cycle hire and walking), ‘fastest by public transport and ‘Bus only’, with the option to amend your journey details, look at services later or earlier in the day and even find nearby taxi ranks.

This is an automated test project for the TFL Journey Planner widget. The project uses selenium webdriver and specflow to automate some of the features of the widget.

The framework implements implements the Page Object Model pattern. 2 page objects have been created, 1 object for the Plan Journey page and the second for the Results page. The javascript executor has been used for some of the web elements to make interating with the hmtl objects more seamless.

There is one feature file called JourneyPlanner.feature with all the scenarios that have been automated. While some scenarios might appear ultra-imperative the aim was to try to highlight every step individually.

All the dependencies required have been added to the project.

I use this every time I go to London

This app is invaluable! I travel alone & am American , even tho this summer will be my 4th UK trip I am not comfortable going around London without a map ! . My first trip( 2016 ) it took me about 30 min every am & night to plan my journey etc ! I still got lost and my phone battery would die from constant use. This app allows you to find the tube line you need and w a spare battery you should be fine alone! I’m 60 and stay in Victoria area ( my fav) buy need no help now largely bc of this great app!

When an app feels this good

As a tourist in London finding this app was amazing, but it goes beyond usability and into art. This app is such a great example of thoughtful and precise design. I’ve kept it on my phone after leaving London just to continue to fiddle around with it and continue to discover additional layers of loveliness.

Simple, clean, functional

Fantastic job by the dev team, one of the easiest travel apps I’ve ever used. Displays the map very clearly, shows you everything you want to see. Perfect
