heard two different announcements. I went to Vauxhall via Waterloo.

The whole line was closed. I had to get 3 buses to work.

The District and Picc work was at Acton Town and was a replacement of
some points that overran.


Thankfully I was travelling into town after the morning peak. When I
got to East Putney there was a sign advising at least 15-20 minute gaps
between each train (and there was one just leaving as I battled my way
up the stairs sigh)

The poster from Tim O'Toole that I saw at Warren Street tonight gives that
away, reading between the lines. He's not a happy chappy.

I think it is safe to say that your final remark is an understatement.

I'm sooo glad (and lucky) I just happened to take the day off today -
that would not have been much fun.

It wasn't bad to be honest because I went out the door knowing that
there were problems on the Vic and Picc. I simply dashed up the road (at
06.40), got the earlier 123 to Seven Sisters, then a 73 fresh into
service and then a 24 at TCR. It took 1 hour 25 mins as the journey was
a bit slow. On a good day, when I sometimes opt to take the bus, it
takes an hour which I don't think is too bad to be honest. I accept I
started early and it would have been utterly awful for those travelling
after 8am.
