Travelling by the Victoria line for the past year has been lovely, my travel is 16-20 minutes on the tube and only one tube-train. Last year it was at least a train and a tube and a longer walk to the station. I do miss being above ground, but with the Victoria line being entirely underground it is not affected by the cold weather.
One downside, I rarely get my PowerBook out on the tube, whereas I used to get it out and write stuff on the train. Still, I'd be loathed to swap back, I can usually get a seat on the way in so I read instead, the Economist sometimes, but more on magazines in another post.
