Delays on the tube

Stuck on the tube again – in the morning had to wait ages for a tube because of "staff shortages" – I sat and imagined all the tube drivers on holiday in the sunshine whilst we stood around on platforms around London, trying to get to work, trying to get on with our lives.

The one thing that the Mayor really has control of is Transport for London – it is his creation. All these people forced to use the creaking tube system, with above inflation fare increases every year - what benefit have we seen?

On the way back in the afternoon, I was stuck in a tunnel, boiling hot and no explanations, whilst a another poor girl worried with us all, was she was going to make her job interview on time?

That’s why it matters that the tube runs more efficiently, people need it to make their lives work. We all tried to give helpful suggestions, but how was she going to get to White City on time?
