Voice Posts or not.

I had selected for today’s grumble the ever fresh and relevant Northern Line and the recent changes in the service introduced by London Transport that make East Finchley a terminus for southbound trains during the rush hour. Given that East Finchley is still ten miles from the centre of London, these trains tend to leave Totteridge and Whetsone virtually empty, while the more useful Bank or Charing Cross trains are packed to the gills and beyond.
I understand the concept of taking surplus trains out of service between rush hours, but during the rush?
That was what I was going to grumble about and I was moved top do so by voice post as I had plenty of time at Totteridge and Whetstone with three East Finchley trains in succession and an eight minute wait for something more useful. Except that I cannot now, it seems, make voice posts from my mobile, which is odd since that is the phone I have used in the past and which is registered on LiveJournal as the phone I should use.
It’s not often that I feel moved to treat you all to mydull-set dulcet tones, but sometimes it just has to be done. And I pay LiveJournal for the utility, so I am damned well going to use it one way or another.
So there.
Carry on.
