I don't know how the people who live in the London are put up with it but I really don't know what the tourists who visit our capital must think. The London tube map seems to have been designed by a child with a crayola pack and the bus and train timetables require translators to make sense.
Or is it just me?

first off...the underground maps arent that difficult....but then i have been using the underground regularly over the last five years so i kinda got used to it, apparently the french one is ten times more difficult
i will take you out in london and give u a underground map tutorial :p
as for delays...on the way to reading all three of my trains were delayed...i got to woking and was told i would have to get a bus to reading, but decided to go to guildford as planned and get a bus from there, low and behold there wass train to reading....
do they have a clue what they are doing? NO
they also kept changing platforms...why oh why can't they sort themselves out..... it's funny i always have a problem when i am travelling relatively short journeys, whenever i have travelled to wales, or from leeds to reading, or from leeds to surrey i have never had any problems.......apart from trees falling on the track and being diverted
my question is really...the government lecture us about not using cars so much and using public transport.....well the public transport down south is ridiculous
so what do they expect us to do?? and they keep putting up the bleeding fares
<rant over>
