You text your friend: “Is the tube ok?” They reply: “Yeah, fine.” You step onto the platform and it’s pandemonium. A stampede of angry commuters.
Your friend was lying, or they took a different carriage. The Victoria Line has a split personality. One end is a joyride, the other end is a traffic jam in a tunnel.
The Verdict (Sort Of)
So, is the Victoria Line working today? Your guess is as good as mine. Seriously, I’m writing this from a café because my train just evaporated.
Check the app. Check Twitter. Do a little rain dance. And if all else fails, walk a bit. You’ll get there eventually. Probably. With a bit of grumbling and a very annoyed Instagram story.
