It seems to have got him to London so I'd say it's a bit of a bargain.
Radiated, convected and conducted. Geothermal heat is minimal.

50 euros a month, innit.
I read yesterday that some tube lines are going to be closed for refurbishment. An olympian task.

That's about the third weekend in a row I've had really shit travel experiences in London.
It's a great city, but badly let down by its transport infrastructure.

LT appears to have this warped idea that no-one actually uses the tube at weekends, so it's alright to close half the system down in one go every Saturday and Sunday. As if this was some kind of 50s throwback where no shops were open, people wandered over to visit their family who lived round the corner and everyone piled into church on a Sunday.

which would be sort of okay if islington council wasn't intent on digging up every major road running through the borough...

no, i just think it knows (for sure) that LESS people use it at weekends.
i've started getting emails about weekend closures, somehow.

What really bugs me is that fairly outrageous, but fairly commonplace, situations - such as dog latin's above, or several hundred commuters being stuck underground for an hour before being led to safety - are just shrugged off.

i was running a bit late to work so cunningly thought it a great idea to go to work by tube cos it's quicker right? HELL NO i was stuck at a station for 20 minutes (time it takes for the bus to get to work), and what's the worst is the way the next train display thing LIES and tell me 6 mins when i get there and doesn't ever change.
everytime i use the tube it seems to let me down (but i am one of those lesser people who only really ever use the tube at weekends). Thameslink, on the other hand, is amazing.

Those things may as well just display the entire written works of L. Ron Hubbard, such is their relation to actual reality.

But my point was that enough people do use it at weekends to make a mockery of the skeleton service that seems to operate every single Saturday and Sunday on the tube. I can barely recall a time when there was a regular Circle/H & C service at weekends!
If I were in charge, I would do exactly what the fuckers say they are anxious to avoid doing: close entire sections of line for, say, three or four weeks and get the bloody job done. Those Metronet numpties will never get anything done while they're ambling about on overtime at weekends and having 'late finishes' on Monday morning. It would be a pain in the arse if you live in say, East Finchley, but at least you knew it'd be over soon and you could actually plan your life around it.

Jesus, simply trying to find out how much a travelcard to London costs becomes a lunatic gambit when trying to tackle the FCC website.

I love this thread.
On Friday night I bought a single from Finchley Road to Ruislip for £3. This price seemed OK really, especially as I could get the fast train and change at Harrow for the Uxbridge one behind it.

15 minute wait on the District line for a Richmond train this morning. Is this normal? Was at Earls Court so popped over to the Piccadilly and got a train instantly. Really I should bite the bullet and cycle no matter how tired or lazy I feel.
