The route
The route runs from Central Park South up to Strawberry Fields and back. You get off at Bethesda Terrace for about ten minutes, at Bow Bridge for eight, at Strawberry Fields for five and at Cherry Hill for three. If you want longer at one stop or a detour to a film location, say so — the route is yours to change.
