Another horrible Sunday on the London Transport network. As if a normal 4 hour journey is not enough, everything had to go wrong today.
1st journey was too good to be true. Trains arrived when I got to stations, ran for the bus and caught it. Was only 2 mins late for choir practice.
2nd journey was a disaster before I could get on the bus. Road was jam-packed and the bus could not even get to the bus stop. Took about 30 mins just to travel the distance of 3 bus stops. Missed the jubilee line and only got home at 2pm.
3rd journey. This is always the most depressing. Trains and buses are always packed with people on the home bound journey, after a day of shopping and other miscellaneous activities, and every step I take takes me further from home. In any case the bus was going to take 8mins. When it finally arrived of course it was packed and every stop took an eternity. Halfway through the journey, the driver announced that it was the last stop and everyone has to get off. The next bus was going to take 11 mins, so I decided to walk the rest of the way in the freezing cold.
4th and final journey. Another 11 min wait for the bus, but it was all as fine as it could be until Stratford. To my horror the jubilee line was closed. Reason - person under train at canning town. So I head to the DLR station, 9 mins was the wait. Grrr. And a longer journey home.
Fed up! I need this car, been putting it off for 3 years now and from the looks of it it's not going to happen. Or I need a new church, as much as i love this one. When will it go past breaking point and snap?
