my friend was stuck on an underground train for 2 hours

she didn't talk to anyone, and she didn't have a book or an iPod.

I was once on a First Great Western train

that derailed just outside Southall station at about 120mph. I was scared shitless. But I got £200 for my pain and anguish.

thats twice in two weeks ive got on the tube at snaresbrook to be told its suspended. this could mean the central line being fucked for weeks again.

robin_ac30 | 5 Jul '07, 11:07 | X

is it weird that

this immediately causes me to congratulate myself for the fact that, despite travelling on the eastern section of the central line most days, I am not overly worried about such things happening in future, and have not once troubled myself with the thought 'it could have been me'?

- I use the Central line and was annoyed when I couldnt' get from Leyton to Stratford
  
  selfish trains.

  - I think not being able to get to Stratford should be seen as something good.
    
    Always.

  Probably PocketMouse but the rest of us are happy to risk our lives by freezing bread / using escalators / breathing / etc.

Surely this is worthy of an IMPORTANT theWARNING?

- allow
  
  terrorists. So boring and hackneyed.

  - I went past Mile End
    
    at 11am. There's about 30 police cars and emergency vehicle response units and fire engines. I honestly thought a bomb had gone off.
    
    I hope people aren't hurt :(
    
    MirriLondon @HADDOCK | 5 Jul '07, 13:01 | X
    - 30 police cars for a derailed train?
      
      Bloody hell- I suppose with the terror threat level being what it is they have to treat it as suspicious.

        Ah, god dammit. I could've got about 3 hours off work had I just left later. Bullshit.

        3 hours
        
        packed in with a bunch of narky southerners.

        *horny narky southerners
        
        zxcvbnm- @zxcvbnm- | 5 Jul '07, 13:21 | X
        
        ...
        
        I have no idea what narky means. Possibly because I am a southerner.
        
        Also, come to think Tuesday evening, I was in the Liverpool Street area - crawling with cops.
        
        They're up to something...
        
        Stealthy @zxcvbnm- | 5 Jul '07, 13:37 | X

        and i saw a couple of guys in different places there with their bags open and police talking into walkie talkies next to them.
        
        i dont know what my point is.
        
        sophiacherryx | 5 Jul '07, 13:23 | X
        
        There's a massive police presence
        
        everywhere at the mo.
        
        Anyway, the bbc says this:
