What Tube strike?
30th June 2004 by Simon
It was with some trepidation that I made the trip to the tube station today after hearing endless press about how it was going to be completely closed down.
I’d looked at the Tube Web site and was pleasantly surprised to see that trains were running on the Northern Line and indeed they were. I waited on the platform for about twice as long as I normally do and had to change at Camden to get on the West End branch, but apart from that it was no different to normal. Actually it was better as there were a lot less people on board.
Arriving at the office, I heard of a long painful journey, starting in a similar part of North London, from a British Rail station. After a car journey to the BR station, being crammed into the carriage like a sardine and a bus journey had been necessary to get from Kings Cross to the office, it ended taking him about twice as long as normal.
My advice - take the tube.
