Train to Victoria then District to South Kensington?
Bus to Oval, Northern to Embankment, then district to South Kensington?
Walk?

No, really. You couldn't make it up. Check out www.tubenightmare.com or the front page of today's Independent.
What kind of oppressive society are we sleepwalking into?
And more immediately and prosaicly, how the heck am i (a self-confessed North East London dweller ) now supposed to legally get home of an evening? (Don't mention the overland from Liverpool St - thats currently shut mon-thurs for engineering too!)
caroline1973 said:Blackhorse Rd (last stop before Walthamstow). It's very nice IMO. I did think about moving to Brixton once but I've lived in N / NE London all my life and some habits are hard to break!
caroline1973 said:yes but the point i was making is that as if that's not already quite annoying enough, BAA are seeking an injunction to ban millions of people from using the Picadilly Line, too! completely mad, and obviously fairly unenforceable, but in principle i object to having to break the law to get home, somehow!
i realise this sounds quite mad but it is all over today's newspapers, some links here www.tubenightmare.com
