What a bunch of tossers. They know you have to get that train and charge whatever they want.

Sick of the prices going up when they feel like it.

It's amusng watching people trying to get 'their' seat every day and then getting PROPERLY pissed off if someone else sits in it.

Luckily I don't have to get the tube, it's awful. The central line is the hottest place on the planet I think.

yah, the trains are very small and the stations in general have really low ceilings. maybe thats why its so hot in there. in paris the carriages are bigger (and square rather than rounded) and the tunnels are much higher so i guess it makes it less stuffy.

At least if you start in Essex you may get a seat opposite some fitty who is on her way to work while your still overground and some fresh air.

Northern line stinks like a wet sock in rush hour.

Dead Rats@ Where you getting on?

My travelcard gives me unlimited travel in Zones 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 - including trains, busses, trams and the tube.

I only need to go 1 stop on the train (20mins) but still have to catch the tram (30mins) each morning.

Well I work in Waltham Cross, just outside Enfield. I usually get on here, or at Harlow, since I live in Waltham Abbey and there's no station there.

if you buy a weekly or monthly one it's the same price whenever you buy it, but if you buy a single or a return or whatever during the peak hour then that's how they rinse you for cash. the stnuc.

the jubilee line between canary wharf & london bridge during rush hour is like travelling down the devil's arsehole

Try catching the bedford train and climbing a wall made from suitcases just to get on the fucking thing.

Ah. You should get the central line bro. If I lived there I would get up extra early and go back n forth a bit of the line in rush hour.

You got to get into the spirit of things and do it the new London way. Just pretend you are blind and walk into anything that is in your way.
