"This morning and the tube."

Probably the wrong forum (should be in life) but I don't care - I'm too incensed:


So I get into Kings Cross this morning. I'm waiting for the tube on the Victoria Line to Green Park and there's a train at the platform waiting. There's no room to get on, so I carry on waiting...and waiting. After nearly ten minutes, I (and about 10,000 other people) realise something is very amiss - there are no announcements to explain why it's just standing there. Just when I decide to forget it and take the Piccadilly Line to Green Park, there's an announcement:

"Can everyone please evacuate Kings Cross IMMEDIATELY, please."

A collective groan emits from all the commuters including furious rage from some, me included. So I decide to evacuate (not that I've any choice in the matter) and go and walk to Euston and catch the tube there. I get onto the street and I'm met with a sight of utter pandemonium and chaos - commuters milling about EVERYWHERE looking confused and angry...in the stinking, squalid rain! Hundreds of them running about like mindless lemmings.

Silently fuming, I traipse to Euston and I'm just getting into the station when the tannoy beeps overhead:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Kings Cross station is now open after being closed due to overcrowding."

I snarl with rage and throw myself on the train in fury amidst startled, bemused stares from other passengers who quickly change the expression on their face to a blank look after they've witnessed my anger. My face must have been a picture - the looks on their faces were cowed instantly after seeing how irate I was.

Get into work half an hour late and find out Marylebone station was closed, so people went to Kings Cross, which caused Kings Cross to close BECAUSE OF BLOODY OVERCROWDING.

STUPID DAMN TUBE!


So now I'm in a bad mood at work and it's going to continue for the rest of the day.

*DM oohs* Uni eh? yur a lot smarter than most of us on here then :)

I only use when I go into Glasgow, which isn't that often.

Need to use it all the time when I go to Uni though

I've never used it so I don't have to suffer the misery.. I use that thing on four wheels called a bus

ggrrrrrrr brrrrrr aarrrraa ttararrr grrrrr baaarararr bbooorroreemmm grrrrrr

That's all you hear

And the trains are really small and the seats look and smell horrible AND I'm always scared some nutter is going to push me on the track

they both do.. all you can feel is the train wizzing by underneath your feet.. rather disturbing if you know what I mean

Or the Glasgow Underground Doughnut Monster

Which scares the hell out me

Unlucky

I saw a program last night about it... like cattle, all squashed in a little box.

I never use trains so nah nah nah... cos I live in scotland and the closest thing we have to a tube in scotland is the Edinburgh underground

coz the tube sucks

why was the station closed?
