Yet again the tube was heavily delayed on my return from work this evening, and to think that I'd left early to get home earlier than usual! No, my southbound Victoria line train decided not to stop at Stockwell and carry on to Brixton, heaven knows why.
Usually, they don't bother keeping you informed of what they are doing to you. This time they did try, bless them, but of course a tannoy set on minimum volume on the ear-shattering Victoria line didn't help.
So why I found myself in Brixton, against my will, I'll never know.
Delays happen far too often. Don't they maintain their radios? Why do the signals always fail (surely they just need to change the bulb?) We'll never know, as they don't tell us.
