Graeme Wall remarked: An evaluation of the trial, published today, shows that passengers used 18 routes to go between King’s Cross/St Pancras and Waterloo, the busiest stations on the network, with 40 per cent of people who were tracked failing to take the two fastest routes. The data showed that even within stations a third of passengers did not use the quickest routes between platforms and could be wasting up to two minutes. I'm still trying to work out 18 different ways to travel between the two by tube. Did you include Mornington Crescent? (Reverse at Camden Town.) -- Roland Perry |

Or in this case ends the game of trying to think of more odd routes. Is this where I quote G K Chesterton? Only if you want us to know what the hell you're talking about ;-) Chesterton's poem, The Rolling English Road: Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode, The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road. A reeling road, a rolling road, that rambles round the shire, And after him the parson ran, the sexton and the squire; A merry road, a mazy road, and such as we did tread *The night we went to Birmingham by way of Beachy Head.* I knew no harm of Bonaparte and plenty of the Squire, And for to fight the Frenchman I did not much desire; But I did bash their baggonets because they came arrayed To straighten out the crooked road an English drunkard made, Where you and I went down the lane with ale-mugs in our hands, The night we went to Glastonbury by way of Goodwin Sands. His sins they were forgiven him; or why do flowers run Behind him; and the hedges all strengthening in the sun? The wild thing went from left to right and knew not which was which, But the wild rose was above him when they found him in the ditch. God pardon us, nor harden us; we did not see so clear The night we went to Bannockburn by way of Brighton Pier. My friends, we will not go again or ape an ancient rage, Or stretch the folly of our youth to be the shame of age, But walk with clearer eyes and ears this path that wandereth, And see undrugged in evening light the decent inn of death; For there is good news yet to hear and fine things to be seen, Before we go to Paradise by way of Kensal Green -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |
