Well, that's that, then!

Blue Monday indeed.

Two sets of signal failures on the Northern Line this morning and one on the Victoria Line, as reported.

This evening - thank God I left work early for Games Night - there has been a signal failure on the Northern Line at Finchley Central. I was chucked off the train at Archway and had to get the bus home from there. Furtle was still at work and God only knows what time she'll get back sinxce it has settled down to a service suspension north of East Finchley. So, too few busses and the rush hour. Joy.

Games night is unsurprisingly cancelled because it's taken ruletwo an hour and a half to get as far as East Finchley, so he turned around and went home. I think I've managed to leave phone messages for thalinoviel and bytepilot; certainly the latter tried to leave me a message, but it seems the mobile phone network is acting the arse, too and he sounded like a consumptive dalek at the end of a tin can and string, so I barely got one word in ten.

Marvellous.

This is the superior service we get after ten years' consecutive above inflation annual price hikes.
