“We are holding customers in the booking hall”
Work has started on the down escalator at Vauxhall tube and the gnomes of TfL have implemented a sort of one-way system during peak times. This evening, we were treated to a variety of explanations and apologies over the Tannoy, but the announcement that caught my attention (and over-active imagination) was “We are holding customers in the booking hall”.
I was most disappointed not to be presented with an orange jumpsuit a la Guantanamo — or should I be looking forward to a hug on Monday (Valentine’s Day) from a member of LU staff?
