I feel a serious document worthy of academic study coming on here. Beck's Law: District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Trains come when waiting for a Circle Line Train; Circle Line trains come when waiting for a District/Metropolitan/H&C Line Train. Earls Law: 'Olympia' 'Richmond' and 'Special' Trains shall come when waiting at Earls Court for a Wimbledon train mf |

Warren's Second Law: once you have taken two steps up the down escalator, you must run all the way up it or risk looking very silly. |
