When I was in London for Sybase training (middle, late 90s) I actually preferred a 45 minute bus ride to those 15 minutes of horror, which is London Underground during rush hour.
I definitely arrived in better shape and with a better attitude.

- njs12345 13y agoDo you mean from Zone 6 (Heathrow) to Zone 1? The other way round is probably not too bad at 7AM :)
- albinoloverats 13y agoNot if he arrived via train.
- archon 13y agoWe did. We took a sleeper train (first mistake) from Edinburgh to London and arrived at 7am, then had to take the tube out to our hostel in Zone 4.
- claudius 13y agoI have to admit I always found the London Underground (or public transport in general) to be a rather pleasant endeavour, at least if I didn't want to get anywhere. People were slow, but friendly.
