Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha !!!!

Have you ever tried getting on the GOBLIN or the Stratford - Richmond
line when there is a tube strike on?

As it happens I have - and even posted a note about the experience to this
newsgroup on 14/6/2009. It was a struggle to board a train heading for
Clapham Jumction at Gospel Oak, and it would have been impossible further
west. The NLL service has been improved significantly since then but I
would still expect it to be very overcrowded on tube strike days.
