1. Got the WAGN train to St James Streeet, and then walked to
Blackhorse Road.
2. Got the WAGN train to Liverpool Sreeet, and then continued via
Underground from there.

No, the station was closed, including wagn.

3. Got the Silverlink train from Walthamstow Queens Road to Blackhorse
Road.

It's a long walk of many, many yards, and I didnt know how often the train
was. Also being really early in the morning I was confused and forgot my
fallback "fallback plan" (the main one is WAGN)

Getting on a bus after an Underground station closure is rarely an
efficient way out of the mess. Luckily for people in Walthamstow it is
not the only option.

Its what the underground staff were saying to do though. Also from what I
remember of driving arround when I moved here, Leyton wasn't *that* far
away, and is on the central line (where I wanted), and I didn't think it
would take as long as it did

Got on, you get the dreggs of the earth on them,

Are you sure this wasn't just the fact of being in Leyton? ;-)



theres no information, no route maps on the bus telling you where you
are, they are constantly caught up in traffic (mainly other busses
pulling into and out of stops), and I got into work half an hour late.

Perhaps if you had an alternative plan in case of such an event, you
might have found the journey easier.

Yeah, but remembering to use that plan when you're really groggy and havent
had a cup of coffee is another story

I'm unimpressed.

Not much we can do about that. Claim your refund at
