Public Transport

Was stuck in the tube yesterday evening! Journey home from Langley to Kingston took

2 1/2 hours!!! Apparently, there was a signal failure on the District line @ Gloucester road. Tube was motionless for approximately 45 minutes (not really sure exactly!!) and then went on to the next station. Ding dong, passenger announcement!! District line service was cancelled! WTF!!!?? Waited that long and then this!!???? Got my ass off the seat and took another line en route to Waterloo. Really fuming!

Went straight to Burger king to buy a nice chicken royale meal (Biggie size) then dashed to platform 4 to catch the train to Norbiton...guess wot? No seats available!! Grrrrr!! There I was standing in the train holding a paperbag containing my dinner in one hand and a large cold drink on the other..nearly had a frosbite!

Really thankful that I don't have to use the public transport everyday. It's expensive and very unpredictable...i guess this applies everywhere you go. Oh well,that's the joy if you don't drive.
