Daily Commute

[Lieutenant]

Shoulda drawn the ting opposite you

[revs]

Caught the tail end of this arriving at waterloo - it was insane.

 

Luckily i commute the opposite way (live in london and work outside) so always get a seat and don't have to pack into a train like a sardine.

 

There times in the morning at Waterloo where the queues going into the underground look like an extra long Disney theme park ride snaking in and out of the station - except everyone looks like they want to die.

[Greens]

Fuck that. 

 

I'm so glad at the moment I can get to work avoiding zone 1 and all above ground. 

[i5_PRODUCER]

Look @ that crowd ffs

 

just to get home then do it again the next morning/evening

 

Working outside of London >>

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Always wonder how many of them people make it to work on time.

[Ephren Taylor]

None of us. I don't even bother calling ahead anymore....

 

I'm definitely treading on thin ice.... my boss always drops the sarcastic "Good evening" when I arrive

 

FAM, It's not my fault fam

Lol at "good evening"

When I arrive at Waterloo in the evening going home into London I'm waiting by the doors in the carriage to get off.

By the doors there is already a sea of people with desperate faces staring at you in hunger waiting to trade in their first born to mow you down and get that all important seat.

Come like a first aid drop and I'm in the UN relief helicopter.

Loool

I get that passive aggressive:

'Good evening'

'Nice if you to join us'

'Didn't think you were coming in today'

My team are cool but they've been brainwashed to believe they need to be in early and stay late.

Not me.

This was me as a younger buck, would never do it now. And for what? It even looks bad to an extent.

So London Overground have taken over the route from Enfield or Cheshunt to Liverpool Street. A few other routes as well.

Still ended up on one of them bummy Greater Anglia trains.

[Captain Planet]

Give it time mate.

 

I wanted to mention this in the property thread actually, this is basically free marketing for all the areas immediately around the stations. I'd expect some action in the market there now, similar to what happened after TfL took over the old East London Line.

[Badman]

Yep, can only mean good things for the stations and the surrounding areas affected by this change. 

 

My yard for one being 4 mins walk from one

[time_bomb]

think u guys are being a bit optimistic, wednesday is the only day in the week i have a rush hour commute and i get the overground from hackney wick to highbury and islington, even with the new 5 car trains im getting squashed in there like a sardine

[Badman]

was more talking about the house prices 

[Fresh]

Anyone familiar with any of these?
