not upsetting, just inconvenient.

okay first off. my crazy long tube ride home today.

After talking to clare, I decided to go get the eurostar tickets at Kings cross st. pancras. So I left school, went to russel square, and waited in line for the tube


1. I waited a half an hour before i could actually get on the tube

2. during which time the announcement was made that "someone was under the train at terminal three" and there were "minor delays". If you don't know what i'm talking about, look it up.

3. Once I got on the tube, it took about 5 minutes for us to leave the station. and The guy behind me was touching my butt. Whether it was inadvertently or not, it was wierd

4. Once we left the platform, the driver made the annoucement that we would not be stopping at kings cross, because the station was closed due to overcrowding, and that hopefully by the time we got to Caledonian something or other kings cross would be open again.

* I have never been past kings cross on the picadlly line.... um yeah.

5. So... got to caledonian whatchamacallit. The train was so crowded, i didn't even bother to try to get off it. I was already going to have to backtrack anyway.

6. The driver made the announcement, as we were getting close to the next stop, that the trains there were not running. or you couldnt catch a train or something. i dont remember. So i went on to the next stop.

7. As soon as we left that station, the conductor man got on again and was like, sorry, i was mistaken, the southbound trains are running.

**So i get to the next stop, Arsenal, which crosses with the Victoria line which goes straight to kings cross, so i figure I'll just do that

8. I followed the signs, or so I thought, but ended up outside

9. Arsenal is a big football town. There was a match tonight.

**so i turn around, tap in and tap out of the station and get on the victoria, great.
**get to kings cross, fine. Follow the signs to the northern, because I was coming from the Victoria, not the Picadilly as normally do.

10. I missed the exit again. So I take the excalator

11. The escalator going down is broken, and there is a huge queue just to walk down it. Waited... got down fine.

12. Got to the platform. My train was coming. Read the front of is as it pulled up to the platform. They had written the wrong train on the reader board. So I waited for anotherone. This one was right.

I got home at 8 10. I left school at 6. depressing.
