Damn Russian spy got there too? He must have coughed with radioactive
fumes!

P.S. Bad joke, I know. I'm just a little stressed that such things can
happen in London...

That what things can happen in London? That there are spies being bumped
off with radioctive substances, or that dust could cause suspend one of our
railway lines?

I don't know which is more unbelievable, to be honest.

He-he, I meant all that spy and radiation scare. I'm Russian myself,
and it is quite scary to think that long arm of mother-land can reach
me here so easily (I'm not a spy though - just a software developer).

As for Waterloo & City line - I guess that was dust from weekend
repair/construction works. It could be something toxic, and they didn't
clean it in time. Late finish of engineering works - now that is
something totally believable ;-)

Marjarie Dawes would be proud of them!

Seriously how much longer have Londoners got to put up with Metronet?
(30-odd years I guess as the contract says).

According to the BBC lunchtime news the dust following the weekend works
was blowing around so badly as train movement stirred it up that the
drivers couldn't see ahead clearly enough to operate the service safely.

Memo to Metronet: Buy a hoover. :)
