The tubes are going on strike again next week.

I'm an 'overground' commuter fortunately.

The Tube is a good service but it's so overcrowded all the time. Where do all these people come from?

I hate the tube with a passion. It is the main reason why working in the city has never really been an option for me. That and a fear of escalators.  redface:

All understandable ~ that's why I used to drive in ~ but then I did qualify for a key to the management car park.
