But at what extra cost? And is this even true? TfL says it is 7 minutes. <br /><br />Personally speaking, I hate the tube. Once at Charing Cross I'd rather walk or bus it, unless going further afield. Sometimes I tend to forget my hatred of the tube in favour of the quick journey from London Bridge to Angel, and other easy links from London Bridge via the Jubilee. <br /><br />But WTF, so many lines are closed at the weekend. The DLR and the South Eastern Lines also seem to be closed quite a lot at weekends (often when you've planned something special).<br /><br />None of the networks can be depended upon, and just when you think the 199 is the best bus in the world, someone has the terrible misfortune to crash in the road and cause hold ups, or there are stupid roadworks, and your 35 minute journey turns into two hours...Aggghhhh....<br /><br />Don't suppose the new developers or planners have built in these changes. Maybe this inconvenience to locals will all be over by the time they're up and running, but in the meantime, their lorries will be clogging up the local roads. Thank you, Workspace, thank you Galliard, thank you Thames Water...thank you Hutchison Whampoa. Gambling Susannoreply@blogger.com
