St James's Park station......one stop on the District and Circle line to Victoria station, down the steps, down the escalator turning left onto the northbound Victoria line platform to Kings Cross
I jumped on the nearest carriage but jumped off at Green Park station and walked further back and got onto the last carriage
Why?
Simply because it's easier to exit Kings Cross station without having to make
my way through the madening crowd
17:29.....Kings Cross underground and I like many others, embark
Having zig zag my way through the walking crowd, I walk up the moving escalator, through the barrier, up the steps straight towards platform eight into the bosom of my train, my carriage
"Excuse me please"
Gentleman looks up, smiles and stands up without a word
"Thank you"
I spot long tall Sally sitting with a group of familiar faces (not 'the train buddy' bunch)
Her back is to me approximately three seats away

On the southbound Victoria line train......or tube.....well it's the underground after all or am I being pedantic?
I'm actually sitting for a change, stood only up to Euston and the gentleman standing beside me who was nearer to the empty seat kindly gestured that I could have it
"Thank you" I mouthed
"It's a pleasure" he replied with a smile
I'm sst between two men, both reading a newspaper; 'The Daily Telegraph' and 'The Metro'
We have just stopped at Oxford Circus where many commuters disembark
Green Park station now
Victoria station next....... I hope it's not raining!

What's that I can hear?
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Aaahhhaaa!
A male commuter with floppy hair is tapping away in his Apple MacBook
In my world
"Stop that b***** racket and show a bit of consideration to your fellow commuters!"
"I'm ever so sorry, I got carried away"
"Well it's not the only thing that's got carried away" I said pointing at his hair
And before he could reply, a scissors was in my hand and I begin to give him a haircut
"Thank you" he said after I'd finished
"Don't mention it......it was a pleasure

I'm sat next to a middle-aged suited Englishman reading, I mean holding a paperback book titled 'HINDUISM..... A very short introduction' by Kim Knot
Why did I say 'holding' and not 'reading'
Well........ He's in Noddy land! From time to time his head jerks upright as it slowly drops
So he's either cleverly reading with his eyes closed or perhaps too tired to read

Not much of a delay as it slowly appears from a distance and stops a couple of yards away from me..........
I welcomed the interior of its gaping mouth as Mother Nature turned on the waterworks.........
Yes! She's a funny thing....... Yesterday morning, she turned in her charm, blinding me with the sun and this morning.........this morning, the waterworks!
Perhaps she's weeping for all those lost souls around the world, both present and past

08:21......... An announcement through the tannoy has informed us of a delay to the eight twenty

I'm standing in the crowded carriage of the seventeen forty train from Kings Cross platform zero
Here's hopping it's not standing room only all the way to St Neots
I am not a happy bunny!
