Yes, the Northern Line will once and fall all escape it's reputation as the 'Misery Line'. In 2011. In the meantime, the new timetable has just made things worse.

If that's not taking the piss I don't know what is, especially given my season ticket now costs £90 a month and the Charing Cross branch (i.e. the useful one, into the West End) is currently suspended at weekends.

This probably explains the driver, as we pulled into London Bridge during rush hour, asking everyone to pack in because 'the next train is nine minutes behind and will be just as packed'. Class.
