Finished in time and open for the
Olympics. Day started well enough, usual brekky then walk down to Crystal
Palace station. We’ve been watching the progress of alterations at the station.
Picture this.
In through the automatic swipe gates,
walk down a couple of flights of stairs, along the walkway then down three
flights of stairs to the platform. And we do the reverse coming home. Now at
the top of the three flights is the old part of the station that has been
unused since we moved here about 18 months ago. If we could get out here it
would make things a bit easier. Well the alterations that have been going on
are going on here should do just that.
So thee we are at the station on
time as usual, but the trains are not. Bother. Not only are there major delays
on our regular service our alternative is also delayed due to signal failure at
London Bridge. Station. So what to do? Recommendation is to get the next train,
get off at Balaam and switch there to the Northern line. Which we do. I got off
at London Bridge to pick up the Jubilee line to Canary Wharf. A bit of a
convoluted way, but getting me there a good half an hour later than usual, giving
me a little time on Skype to chat with the kids at home. The Man
stayed on that Northern Line train until Moorgate from where he easily walked
to work and arrived just about on time.
There’s always a way around it
