So was the whole line out of use or just Kings Cross to Walthemstow. I
heard two different announcements. I went to Vauxhall via Waterloo.



The whole line was closed. I had to get 3 buses to work.


I'm sooo glad (and lucky) I just happened to take the day off today -
that would not have been much fun.


It wasn't bad to be honest because I went out the door knowing that
there were problems on the Vic and Picc. I simply dashed up the road (at
06.40), got the earlier 123 to Seven Sisters, then a 73 fresh into
service and then a 24 at TCR. It took 1 hour 25 mins as the journey was
a bit slow. On a good day, when I sometimes opt to take the bus, it
takes an hour which I don't think is too bad to be honest. I accept I
started early and it would have been utterly awful for those travelling
after 8am.
