one wonders just what type of value they mean, hardly pushing the locals above the poverty line....
I've travelled to work for the past eight and a bit years on the trains from SE London to most of the southern terminals of London. I've used Victoria, Blackfriars, Charing Cross, London Bridge and even Waterloo East for a while. Soon, no more, I get to be a tube dweller, travelling from Walthamstow to Kings Cross. Mostly trains are not bad, you get to see something and they are cooler in the summer. However I'll not miss the cold wet evenings waiting 15 minutes for yet another delayed train.
Also for the first time in London I'll be using one form of transport for my entire journey, which will be delightful. Even when I worked at Bush House and had 18 months of no underground travel, I still had to change trains at London Bridge.
I'm also looking forward to exploring North London, it'll be like moving to a different city, but more on that in another post.
