Default The Baron's Tree

Wheee, what a fun Sunday afternoon!

Got on the Piccadilly Line at 3pm on Sunday, dragging luggage,
intending to travel to Acton Town and change to the District Line to
go to Richmond. Wrong.

First issue was after I passed through the gateline to get something
to drink. I turned around and saw that all District Line services were
suspended between Acton Town and Earl's Court. Oh joy. I hung around
Acton Town for an hour, until finally I gave up waiting for a bus and
got back onto the platform, where increasing numbers of people were
waiting for a train - by this time eastbound Piccadilly Line services
were suspended between Acton Town and Hyde Park Corner. Wheeeeee.

So I hung around the eastbound island platform for about half an hour
until finally, eastbound Piccadilly Line services were restored. So I
hopped onto the first train and went to Hammersmith, where I
discovered that now ALL District Line services were suspended. So it
was off to the bus station and a 33 bus to Richmond, along with a long
walk home.

Did anyone get photos of the sixty-foot tree responsible for all this
mayhem?

Brad
