silence is golden
Jul. 14th, 2005 12:13 pmI didn't think it would work, and that it would be eerily unpleasant, but it did, and it felt right.
slowly but surely, everyone tumbled out of the offices and cafes and shut up. for 2 minutes. actually, probably longer just in case watches were wrong.
and down the road and round the corner they are reassembling bits of train and bits of people
*********************************
the victoria line was up to it's normal fun and games this morning. after sweating for 20 minutes at tottenham hale while a train in front inched its way to finsbury park at 3 mph, i went for the overland option. and am very tempted to do so again.
the beauty of tottenham hale is that it is one of 3 stations served by the stanstead express, and the beauty of this is that the train is not overcrowded and you can get a seat. it is also airconditioned. lovely stanstead express. be my friend!
however liverpool street into actual work was a bit of a convoluted faff, featuring 2 buses and a little walk.
however, having just looked at journey planner thingy, this is one of the only 3 ways of doing it (without the tube, obv), one of the others being walking.
i rule at london!
