Happenings at Woodside Park

The problem with disruptions on the tube is that you don’t know about them until it’s too late. This despite the fact that TFL1 are supposed to send a text to my mobile divvying up the skinny before I get affected; or at least that’s how I understood the service to operate when I signed up for it. I don’t think that I’ve ever received anything from them at all.

I wonder if, because I live in Whetstone, I do not fit the Mayor’s economic profile as a keyworker, so am bottom of the heap when it comes to warnings on travel.

Thus it was that I arrived at the Totteridge and Whetstone station to find it locked with a note telling the world that there was no service between Barnet and Finchley Central because on an ongoing police investigation at Woodside Park. It’s still ongoing now, a couple of hours later. I wonder what vile happening has occurred to cause all the trouble…

Anyway, back up the hill to catch the 263 down to East Finchley and I eventually roll into work around 10.30.

I mention all this simply so that I can display my new commuter icon.

Does anyone know it this has hit the torrents yet?

I looked last night but couldn't find anything. I am assured that it is (or was) available on the web somewhere. If in doubt, I guess I shall wait until later in the month after its official US broadcast.

As I understand it, it is theoretically the 1st two episodes of seaon 4, but is in fact a standalone story dealibng with warcrimes and atrocities from the first cylon war.
