Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Fingers Crossed

When browsing the Tube website and you see:

The Central Line has no service between North Acton Station and Marble Arch Station in both directions.

This will affect journeys from 12:33 on 11/05/04 until further notice. This is due to defective trains.

you cross your fingers and hope its just a temporary glitch. What you don't want to see across the news ticker when you look for more info are the words:

London Underground train derails near White City station. No injuries. More soon.

Defective train TFL say, presumably only in the fact its not designed to run on gravel or grass. Am glad no ones hurt, the trains do go quite slowly down that stretch. Saying that it is only two tracks for the most so I guess its mostly to do with luck and timing more than speed in this case.

The real bonus is of course, we can now look forward to more fun and games. Had almost forgotten what the several months of inconvenience caused by Chancery was like. In the meantime whilst others get on with pointing accusingly at each other, I'll be crossing my fingers...
