Why do you make my life a misery?

If there are no trains at the jubilee line platforms why does my inbound to Stratford tube stop for 5 minutes just outside the station with the driver claiming they are waiting for a free platform, during which time no tubes pass in the opposite direction as all platforms are already empty. Yet still we wait.

    It's part of the government scheme to promote cycling to work by making the alternatives less attractive

    It doesn't take much to be more attractive than the tube.

    When I used to work in London my contracts manager used to tell me that traveling on the tube was the best sex he got :shock:

    If you're on the train, how do you know the platforms are empty? Just a thought... :)
