Congratulations to TfL

Friday 4^th March 2011

7.30-9.45 2 hrs 15 mins -20/10

14 to Putney Bridge Road

74 to George Street

Taxi to work

This was a real lulu of a journey.  I had to wait over 15 minutes for a 14 bus, and if you can believe it they’ve dug up the road on the approach to Putney Bridge, so in fact it was 8.30 before we had crossed the bridge.  I changed to the 74 and it was not too bad apart from the permanent roadworks on the Cromwell Road and the Brompton Road.  I have to give it a black star for the timing.  Then I saw that they had managed to achieve minus 20 out of 10!  I hesitated about whether to give it a second black star for this, but then I remembered that the 74 blew ice cold air at me for the whole journey so I was chilled completely through by the time I got off it and also as it’s Friday I’m feeling generous so congratulations to TfL, they have finally achieved TWO BLACK STARS, a rare award.  I do hope they’re proud.

I see they’ve renamed the “Portman Square” stop again, and it’s now “Portman Street/Selfridges”.   How helpful for the tourists.  The real Portman Square stop is still called George Street.  Ho hum.
