caddymanLet's see, time to go home, but by which of the myriad choices tonight?
The Victoria Line? No, that's suspended.
The Northern Line? No, severe delays.
Piccadilly Line? Hmm... severe delays.
Bakerloo Line, then? Ah. Severe delays.
Shall I try a dog's leg confection on the Circle, District, Hammersmith and City, Central, East London, Jubilee or Metropolitan Lines?
Oh. Severe delays. That's the ENTIRE network then. All of it.
At least the Docklands Light Railway is still working. Not that it's any use to me.
That'll be two hours on the number 82 bus, then, will it?
How lucky I am to live in a city with such a splendid and up-to-date integrated transit system.

Date: 2006-07-21 08:57 am (UTC)It took me over two hours to get home yesterday as the trains were crawling along on buckled rails and when I got to Croydon (hardly Paradise!)... I found that the entire Tram network was shut down and so there were no trams at all.
