Saturday night in the west end. Northern line charing-x branch closed. Any
company with a sane management might have increased the number of trains
on nearby lines such as the piccadilly. But oh no, this is London Blunderground.
Leicester square station must have had 300 people waiting on the northbound
picc platform with the next train being 5 minutes away. Totally and utterly
pathetic. Thank god I no longer have to use this system run by idiots for
commuting.

Right, change the schedule for an entire line just because one station's
a bit busier?

Err no, change the schedule because half of another line is closed and its
saturday night with a lot of people wanting to get to euston & kings X.

The london underground is an intergrated metro system isn't it? Its not just
a collection of individual lines each run as their own little feifdom with
no concern about what happens elsewhere? Or have I been missing the real
picture all these years?
