The rule should be, if your journey is not to/from work or totally necessary

My journey, with luggage, is to and from work. It occurs once a week
in each direction.

The Tube is not just for daily commuting. Indeed, when I was doing so
I avoided it like the plague and used buses instead; the only reason I
don't do that now is that it takes a very long time and about 3 buses
to get Euston to LCY without using Tube and DLR.
