Missed a northbound Victoria line, but a minute later another one arrives, stops inches away from where I stand and opens it's mouth and I entered and nabbed the seat nearer to the door and sat quietly
Green Park station comes and goes........."Stand clear of the closing doors" and off we go to the next station.
Oxford Circus station now and quite a few disembark leaving space for newcomers.
"The next station is Warren Street. Change here for the Northern line.......This
 is the Victoria line train to Walthamstow"
"The next station is Euston..... Change here for the Northern line and London Overground train"
Then King's Cross is announced and I stood up and head towards the door. The big clock is showing 17:03 and telling me that if I don't get a move on I'm going to miss the 17:10.......so I take heed and walk briskly towards the concourse.
The departure display board shouts at me....."Platform ten B!"
The clock is mocking me......17:07! I have now picked up pace......... making it to platform ten B by the skin of my teeth
It's one of those old raggerty train (I pay nearly five thousand pound for THIS!) and take a seat next to a woman who is occupying most of both seats and area! HUMBUG!!!
She's typing loudly on her Toshiba laptop either oblivious or selfish about me or the other commuters. She's even tucked her luggage under the table! Selfish cow!
