caddymanNow that’s how a journey into work should go.
On the radio this morning, it was posited that only 10% of the working population would actually be going to work today, what with it being Christmas week and the credit crunch and all that. Whatever the actual figure, it is certainly quieter in central London than I have seen it for a long, long time. I wouldn’t go so far as to suggest that the journey in was a pleasure, but it was certainly far from being a trial. There were still seats to be had as far south as Archway and having caught a Morden branch train for once, I was able to slip easily across to the Victoria Line at Euston to find plenty of seats available.
Such is the decline in commuter traffic (I expect it will hot up later as people come to town to rack up their credit cards), that I saw no one with particle accelerators, so the oddness index must be quite low. I imagine that the co-ordinators will have to release a few onto the streets as the crowds build.
Right: I’d better do a bit of work today. I want to leave early today and tomorrow, so I ought to clear some of the stuff in my inbox.
