I got in this evening and had a “London Underground” adventure.
\nThe Underground was shut down for 9 stops going into London from Heathrow. Seems someone jumped and got caught under the tracks. So they shut down service.
\nAfter some back and forth between the Underground<\/a> people and the Heathrow Express<\/a> people, the Underground arranged free taxis to get us all to Northfields so we could catch the last train into London (there were five of us stranded that chose this option).
\nThe problem was that I needed to get to either Paddington or Lancaster Gate tube stops and that meant transferring to different lines that have already shut down for the night.
\nThat meant an adventure with a Greek Masters student (who knew which buses to take) and the London Bus System (late night).
\nLong story short, it took 2 hours to leave LHR to get back. An hour longer then it would have by Tube. Grimley says that I’ve experienced the worst of London Transit. I hope so.
